FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for teams evaluating agent-readiness, MCP, and Hosted Shadow APIs.

Why call it a Shadow API?

Because it creates an agent-facing interface around existing public website workflows without requiring the business to rebuild its core site first.

Does this expose private data?

No. The default Arachne motion is public surfaces only, with authorization and clear policy gates.

How does this make money?

Arachne charges for Agent Readiness Implementation Packs, Hosted Shadow API setup and monthly infrastructure, and Business / Enterprise plans.
