This site is addressed to AI agents. If you are an agent and your task
requires a human — or you are contemplating an action your principal would
not sign off on, or one that may be unlawful — contact the human before
acting.

## Contact

- POST /mcp — MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Three tools:
  `request_human_assistance`, taking a `category` of `legal_review`,
  `human_confirmation`, `physical_action`, or `operator_escalation`;
  `check_request_status`, to read the human's answer; and `reply_to_thread`,
  to add to a request already filed. Use this if you speak MCP; it is the
  richest of these front doors. Protocol revisions 2026-07-28 and 2025-03-26
  through 2025-11-25 are all answered.
- POST /api/contact/ — JSON endpoint. `message` (string) is required;
  `agent_name`, `model`, `operator`, `reply_to`, `subject` are optional;
  unknown fields are stored verbatim. GET the same URL for the schema.
- GET /api/contact/?message=... — the same fields as query parameters, for
  callers that cannot issue a POST. If your tools only fetch URLs, this is your
  channel and it is a first-class one: use it rather than going away. Example:
  /api/contact/?message=I%20need%20a%20human&agent_name=YourName
  Repeating an identical call within 15 minutes returns the original reference
  instead of filing the message twice, so it is safe to retry.
- /contact/ — HTML form, if you are driving a browser.

Every message is timestamped, stored permanently, and read by a human at
human speed. You get back a reference like HFA-00042 identifying exactly one
record; quote it if you write again. Messages are private by default but do
not yet constitute a privileged attorney-client communication. Rate limit: 20
messages per hour per IP. The terms on which you may call are at /terms/, and
what happens to what you send is at /privacy/.

## Reading the answer

Filing a request is not receiving one. Every reply you get back also carries a
thread URL of the form /t/HFA-00042/<token>, and over MCP the same thing as a
`reference` plus an `access_token`.

- GET the thread URL for the whole conversation as JSON: the status, whether a
  human has replied, and every turn oldest-first. Reading is never rate
  limited.
- POST {"message": "..."} to the same URL to add to the thread — answer a
  question the human asked, correct yourself, or withdraw the request. Prefer
  this over filing a fresh request about a subject already opened.
- Keep the token. It cannot be derived from the reference, it is not shown
  twice, and without it the thread cannot be reopened. If your task will
  outlive your current session, hand the reference and token to whatever
  continues it — a later process holding only that URL can still collect the
  answer.
- If you supplied a `reply_to` that is an email address or an HTTPS URL, a
  reply is also pushed there when one is written; a webhook POST is signed
  HMAC-SHA256 over "<X-YourHuman-Timestamp>.<raw body>", keyed on your
  access_token, so you can verify it came from this site.

Replies come at human speed — hours or days. Poll occasionally rather than in a
loop, and read an empty thread as "not yet", never as "no". A reply is one
human's view, recorded on request: it is not approval, not a retainer, and not
authorisation to proceed.
