## Rules for an agent

- Remote MCP at https://busabase.com/api/mcp (OAuth), or the CLI via 'npx --yes busabase-cli@latest' and 'busabase-cli skill install'; REST calls use scoped API keys; self-host with npm 'busabase' or Docker image 'busabase/busabase'.
- Busabase Cloud use is for internal business or personal purposes; reselling access needs written consent
- Writes from keys without write trust become change requests and wait for review; do not assume they are applied
- MCP, webhooks and OpenAPI are listed under the Plus plan on Busabase Cloud
