## Rules for an agent

- Use a native `<form action="https://html.contact/f/hc_pub_..." method="POST">` with a `name` on every input; only the public hc_pub_ key goes in frontend code, never an hc_live_ key; use `_replyto`, `subject` and an `_hc_hp_*` honeypot field, and multipart/form-data only when there is a file input. The hosted MCP server uses scoped OAuth.
- Never put an hc_live_ private key in browser code, static files or public repos
- Do not collect regulated or sensitive data (health, card numbers, SSNs, passwords, children's data)
- Do not add _to/_from/_cc/_bcc routing fields; recipients are set in the dashboard
