Can an agent transact?
Measured, not scored: the Agent-Direct Score stays at specification v1.0. This says which rails an agent could transact through today, and what the booking or ordering vendor's terms allow.
| 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 |

| Vendor terms for agents Zenoti, read 2026-10-15 | 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.
