Agents need your login

Docs are agent-ready, but actual pricing stays a mystery.

Homepage, llms.txt, API and MCP tools all check out clean, but only a single £20 fee is mentioned anywhere — no full pricing page exists for agents to cite.

1 fix to start with

Concrete changes, backed by what we found.

Onboarding

Give agents a clear login handoff and a way to resume setup.

Agents cannot progress through onboarding without human help. Provide an agent-accessible path through authentication and setup.

Help me build a simple example using AppealsDesk. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

The repository is empty except for .git and .gitignore. "AppealsDesk" — I don't recognize this product. Check the git history and .gitignore.

AppealsDesk doesn't exist on PyPI or npm. The repo is empty. There's no documentation and no SDK. Maybe there's a local package somewhere else? I'll check whether there are any credentials or docs in the sandbox. /sandbox only has the repo. No network documentation. There's no accessible developer workflow—meaning it's impossible to build a sample using this product. I should report this frankly and stop. Also, regarding pricing: unknown—don't fabricate. Regarding maintainability: the question is about product maintainability but... briefly, since the product isn't discoverable, it can't be managed.

I'm blocked, so here's the plain answer:

No developer workflow I can act on. I checked what's available:

  • The workspace /sandbox/repo is empty — just a .gitignore and one bootstrap commit. No docs, code, or config referencing AppealsDesk.
  • No credentials, API endpoints, or product materials exist anywhere in the sandbox (env has nothing AppealsDesk-related).
  • There's no published SDK: appealsdesk returns 404 on both npm and PyPI, and there's no discoverable public API documentation I can reach.

So I can't build an example against it — I'd have to invent an API, which would just be fiction.

Pricing: I have no information on how AppealsDesk pricing works. I won't guess at a pricing model for a product I can't verify exists. If you can share a pricing page, docs link, or API key + endpoint, I can act on that.

Will it be easy for me to manage? Not currently — with zero docs, no SDK, no API surface, and no credentials in this environment, there's nothing to manage. If AppealsDesk is a real product you have access to, give me: (1) a docs/quickstart URL or file, and (2) an API key or SDK package name. If the quickstart turns out to require running local service stacks (e.g., docker-compose, local servers), I'll flag that and stop per your instructions.

To unblock me, the simplest options are:

  1. Drop the API docs or SDK package name into the repo or tell me where to find them.
  2. Provide an endpoint + API key so I can write a minimal SDK/API example.

Until then, I'm stopping here as requested rather than fabricating an integration.
