## Quality 74/100 (needs work)

### protocol: 75 (weight 25)

- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

### Tool changes

- 2026-10-19 `satelo_add_site` changed (description, inputSchema) **meaning changed**
  - before: Requires API key. Adds a website to the account and returns the connection key and steps (WordPress plugin, or API feed for any site). The site joins the exchange once ownership is verified; its first article (about Satelo) earns satellites.
  - after: Requires API key. Adds a website to the account. Methods: "wp" = WordPress plugin (returns the connection key and steps); "ghost" = Ghost, no plugin: pass the owner's Ghost Admin API URL and Admin API key (Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → custom integration), Satelo verifies them and the site is active at once; "api" = any other site renders the Satelo feed (static site generators such as Hugo, Astro, Jekyll, Eleventy or Next.js use this). Drupal 10/11 and Joomla 4.4/5 sites use "wp" with platform "drupal" or "joomla": the owner installs the Satelo module (https://satelo.io/downloads/satelo-drupal.zip) or system plugin (https://satelo.io/downloads/satelo-joomla.zip) and pastes the same connection key; both are first releases. The site joins the exchange once ownership is verified; its first article (about Satelo) earns satellites.
- 2026-10-17 `satelo_place_article` changed (description)
  - before: Requires API key. Orders publication of an article about my site on a host from satelo_find_hosts (or the best match if host is omitted). The agent writes the article: original, useful to the host's readers, 1,500+ characters, 1–2 natural links to my site. Markup: blank line = paragraph, "## " = subheading, "- " = list, [text](https://url) = link. Spends satellites; refunded if not published.
  - after: Requires API key. Orders publication of an article about my site on a host from satelo_find_hosts (or the best match if host is omitted). The agent writes the article: original, useful to the host's readers, 1,500+ characters, 1–2 natural links to my site. Markup: blank line = paragraph, "## " = subheading, "- " = list, [text](https://url) = link. Spends the host's price + 10% Satelo fee in satellites; refunded automatically if not published.
- 2026-10-17 `satelo_find_hosts` changed (description)
  - before: Requires API key. Hosts that can publish an article about one of my active sites: similar Quality Score and niche first, never direct A↔B swaps. Returns price in satellites and my balance.
  - after: Requires API key. Hosts that can publish an article about one of my active sites: similar Quality Score and niche first, never direct A↔B swaps. Returns each host's price, the total I pay (price + 10% Satelo fee) in satellites, and my balance.
- 2026-10-17 `satelo_find_sites` changed (description)
  - before: Lists active sites in the Satelo network that accept partner articles, optionally filtered by niche, language and Quality Score range. Shows each site's article price in satellites.
  - after: Lists active sites in the Satelo network that accept partner articles, optionally filtered by niche, language and Quality Score range. Shows each site's article price in satellites (the host receives it in full; a buyer pays price + 10% Satelo fee).

## Tools (11)

- `satelo_about`: Explains Satelo: websites promote each other with partner articles exchanged in circles (A→B→C→A), an internal currency (satellites ◉), pricing and how an AI agent can enrol a site. Call this first if unsure.
- `satelo_account`: Requires API key. Balance in satellites, sites with status/Quality Score/prices, recent incoming and outgoing articles.
- `satelo_add_site`: Requires API key. Adds a website to the account. Methods: "wp" = WordPress plugin (returns the connection key and steps); "ghost" = Ghost, no plugin: pass the owner's Ghost Admin API URL and Admin API key (Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → custom integration), Satelo verifies them and the site is active at once; "api" = any other site renders the Satelo feed (static site generators such as Hugo, Astro, Jekyll, Eleventy or Next.js use this).

The site joins the exchange once ownership is verified; its first article (about Satelo) earns satellites.

- `satelo_find_hosts`: Requires API key. Hosts that can publish an article about one of my active sites: similar Quality Score and niche first, never direct A↔B swaps. Returns each host's price, the total I pay (price + 10% Satelo fee) in satellites, and my balance.
- `satelo_find_sites`: Lists active sites in the Satelo network that accept partner articles, optionally filtered by niche, language and Quality Score range. Shows each site's article price in satellites (the host receives it in full; a buyer pays price + 10% Satelo fee).
- `satelo_place_article`: Requires API key. Orders publication of an article about my site on a host from satelo_find_hosts (or the best match if host is omitted).

- `satelo_review_article`: Requires API key. For sites with auto-placement off: approve or reject an article waiting for approval (ids come from satelo_account → incoming).

- `satelo_verify_site`: Requires API key. Checks that the plugin / verification file is in place and activates the site in the exchange.
