AI Agent Hub mixes two kinds of material. Some pages are written for this site. Others summarize a listing, a repository, or a model card that somebody else published. Confusing the two is the fastest way to misread the site, so this page states the boundary.

What is written for this site

The following pages are original editorial work, published under the AI Agent Hub Editorial byline:

  • Guides, including this one, explain how to choose, inspect, and reject tools. They are the part of the site we stand behind.
  • Editor's notes appear on a small set of directory entries. Each note says what problem the item solves, who should skip it, and what to check first. A note is dated on the page.
  • Category introductions sit at the top of category listing pages and explain what the section is for and what it is not.
  • Curated comparisons put a small number of models side by side and explain how to read the table.
  • Glossary entries define the terms used across the site.
  • The daily briefing summary is written from the linked sources and always links back to them.
  • About, editorial policy, corrections, privacy, terms, and contact pages describe how the site is operated.

These pages are not copied from a publisher. When they cite a fact, they name the source. When they state a judgment, they say it is a judgment.

What comes from somebody else

Directory cards and the article archive contain third-party material:

  • Skill cards carry a name, publisher, install prompt, description, and upstream link from a public skill listing. The install prompt belongs to the publisher.
  • Plugin cards carry a repository name, description, install command, license, and star count from a public repository.
  • Model cards carry the vendor's name, description, license, context window, price, and benchmark fields from a model card or public listing.
  • The article archive reproduces articles that were published elsewhere. It is kept for old links, carries no ads, and is excluded from search and the sitemap.

On a card, the section labeled Publisher description is the publisher's text. The label is deliberate: it tells you who wrote the paragraph you are reading. The card also links to the upstream page so you can check the license, the README, and the current version yourself.

We do not claim authorship of a card's description, install prompt, code, model weights, or trademarks. Those remain with their owners. A listing is a pointer, not an endorsement and not a review.

How attribution works

Every card with third-party text links to its upstream source. Skill cards link to the public listing, plugin cards to the repository, and model cards to the vendor or model card. The link is part of the card, not a hidden footnote.

When we quote or closely summarize a description, we keep the wording close to the source and label it as the publisher's description. When we rewrite a description for length, we still attribute it to the publisher and link to the original. We do not present a rewritten publisher paragraph as an independent review.

If a publisher wants a card corrected or removed, the contact form reaches us. The corrections policy describes what happens next.

Where advertising appears

The site participates in Google AdSense, and ads appear only on the guide pages listed in Guides. Those pages are written for this site and contain no publisher or scraped text.

Ads do not appear on:

  • skill, plugin, or model cards, even when a card has an editor's note;
  • category or search listings;
  • the article archive;
  • the daily briefing;
  • account, login, or form pages.

This is a deliberate policy, not a technical accident. A card screen is mostly third-party text, so putting an ad next to it would put Google-served advertising on a screen with replicated content. The same rule applies to the archive. If you see an ad on one of those screens, it is a bug; report it through the contact form and we will remove it.

Advertisers have no influence on which listings appear, how they are ordered, or what the guides and notes say. The editorial policy states the same rule in the site's operations language.

What we do not do

  • We do not scrape a page and publish it as our own article.
  • We do not spin a publisher description into a fake review.
  • We do not hide the source link or remove the publisher's name.
  • We do not put ads on a screen whose value comes from someone else's text.
  • We do not accept payment for placement or for a better position in a list.

How to read the site

If you want a decision, read a guide. If you want a fact about a specific tool, open its card and follow the upstream link. If a card has an editor's note, read the note before the publisher description; the note is our writing and it may tell you to skip the item.

The directory is large because the ecosystem is large. The editorial layer is small on purpose: we write full notes only where we have something specific to say. A card without a note is a pointer. A guide is an argument. Keeping those two categories separate is the point of this page.
