One reference model for people and agents.
The planned MCP interface will expose free discovery metadata and protected retrieval through the same listing rules as the marketplace.

FIELD NOTES / Developers
A practical outline of the decisions behind this part of the library.
Discover before retrieval
Search and metadata tools are planned to return source, target, capture dates, contributor attribution, listing identity, and scope. An agent can judge relevance before requesting material.
Paid tools have a visible boundary
Proposed retrieval tasks include a capture, a Flow edition, and a Target history comparison. A tool should report the same listing ID, edition, price, access terms, and availability as the human page.
Payment integration is being validated
The proposed x402 path, wallet support, network, retries, and settlement handling are not a live API contract. Integration documentation will include actual endpoints and recoverable failure states after a vertical slice is proven.
