## Can an agent transact?
Measured, not scored (the score stays at spec v1.0).
- UCP profile (/.well-known/ucp, Google and Shopify's Universal Commerce Protocol): no
- ACP discovery document (/.well-known/acp.json, OpenAI and Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol): no
- MCP server card (/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): no
- Ordering vendor that takes agent orders (Square, Toast, or a vendor whose terms allow agents): no
- Vendor terms for agents, Zenoti: Not stated. Zenoti's terms (17 April 2026) bind the businesses that use it, not the people who book: section 4.1(j) bars robots, bots, spiders and scrapers from monitoring or copying the services and section 5.6 allows API integrations only under a written agreement; each business sets its own consumer terms, so an agent booking for a client is not addressed here.
