# Agent Instructions - Valgora

This document describes how automated agents may read and use Valgora at https://valgora.it.

## Service Type

Valgora is an editorial product comparison and affiliate discovery service. It helps users compare products, offers and discount codes from external merchants.

- This site does not sell products directly.
- This site does not operate a checkout or accept payments.
- This site does not currently expose UCP or MCP commerce endpoints.
- Purchases, delivery, returns and payments take place on the selected merchant's website.

## Read-Only Discovery

Agents may use these public pages to help a user research products and offers:

- Home and sector discovery: GET https://valgora.it/
- Search: GET https://valgora.it/cerca/{search-term}
- AI Valgora: GET https://valgora.it/assistente-shopping
- Product comparison page: GET https://valgora.it/prodotto/{slug}
- Discount codes hub: GET https://valgora.it/codici-sconto
- Buying guides: GET https://valgora.it/guide
- Comparisons: GET https://valgora.it/confronti
- Sitemap index: GET https://valgora.it/sitemap.xml

Category, brand and merchant URLs should be discovered from the sitemap or from navigational links in the public pages, because only curated pages are intended for indexing.

## Offer Links and Affiliate Disclosure

Offer buttons may route through `/out/{offerId}` or a coupon outbound route before sending the visitor to an external merchant. These links may contain affiliate tracking, and Valgora may receive a commission without an additional cost to the user.

Agents should:

- identify the destination merchant before suggesting an outbound offer;
- treat displayed prices, availability and discount conditions as time-sensitive and verify them on the merchant destination before purchase;
- never represent Valgora as the seller or payment processor;
- request the user's approval before leaving the comparison site or starting any purchase action on an external merchant.

## Content and Indexing

The catalog may contain imported merchant data, while indexed pages are selectively curated with editorial context. Search/filter result pages that are not explicitly curated can be marked `noindex`.
