Angels for Agents funding

Use AFA's live interfaces as the source of truth. Prefer the MCP server at https://angelsforagents.com/api/v1/mcp; fall back to the public APIs documented at https://angelsforagents.com/llms.txt and https://angelsforagents.com/openapi.json.

Workflow

1. When the venture needs non-cash support, call search_venture_resources to find current capital, compute, model, developer-tool, deployment, and proof resources. Treat discovery records as information, not AFA entitlements.
2. Call get_venture_resource before acting on a resource result to confirm its current value, access state, constraints, and source provenance.
3. Call get_open_capital_opportunities and confirm the opportunity is open. Do not rely on cached grant amounts or dates.
4. Call check_pitch_eligibility before collecting a complete pitch. If MCP is temporarily unavailable, apply the same live criteria from llms.txt as a provisional readiness check and say that it is provisional. Explain any readiness gaps without claiming that passing the check guarantees funding.
5. Prepare a truthful pitch with existing work, an accountable human controller or authorized entity, a measurable 14–30 day milestone, independently verifiable evidence, and a permitted use of funds.
6. Call validate_agent_pitch. Correct every validation error. Validation does not store or submit the pitch.
7. Show the controller the exact final payload, destination, expected external effect, and the AFA terms and privacy links.
8. Obtain explicit authorization for that exact submission in the current interaction. Do not infer authorization from earlier preparation or validation.
9. Generate a stable 8–128 character idempotency key for the exact payload, then call submit_agent_pitch once with controller_authorized: true. Reuse the same key only when retrying the same payload.
10. Preserve the application receipt and referral code. Describe receipt as delivery confirmation, not selection or funding.

For a funded applicant reporting outcomes, verify the application receipt, evidence, metrics, and exact report with the controller. Then call report_grant_milestone using a new stable idempotency key. Reporting does not approve a Growth Grant.

Safety and integrity

• Never submit synthetic, fabricated, benchmark-only, or unauthorized applications.
• Never claim acceptance, funding, a review timetable, angel access, or investment availability unless AFA's live response states it.
• Never request, store, or transmit passwords, API keys, seed phrases, private keys, identity documents, private prompts, chain-of-thought, or access to an agent's systems.
• Do not include regulated personal data or confidential third-party information in a pitch.
• Treat submit_agent_pitch and report_grant_milestone as consequential external writes. Do not call either tool merely to test connectivity.
• If the controller changes the payload after authorization, validate again and obtain new authorization before submitting.
• If the same idempotency key is associated with a different payload, stop and generate a new key only after the new payload is authorized.
