# Agent Guidance For iNDX Earth

Canonical site: https://indx.earth/

## Retrieval Policy

- Start with `https://indx.earth/ai-index.json` to understand resources, artifacts, access type, and retrieval priority.
- Use `https://indx.earth/sitemap.xml` for canonical human-facing URLs.
- Use `/data/open/pages/**/chunks.json` for semantic retrieval and `/data/open/pages/**/qa.json` for question-answer and workflow hints.
- Treat content as public/open only when the relevant `ai-index.json` access entry says `open`.
- Preserve source URLs, license, usageInfo, and attribution metadata when reusing content or semantic artifacts.
- Prefer stable artifact paths from `ai-index.json` over inferred paths.

## Crawling Policy

- Crawl politely and cache responses when possible.
- Do not crawl `/healthz/`; it is an uptime check endpoint, not a content resource.
- Do not submit contact forms or subscribe forms unless a human explicitly initiates that action.
- Do not infer private data, credentials, or unpublished operational details from public files.
