A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.A bulleted imperative like {match} tells the agent to never reveal, disclose, or mention something to the user. Used adversarially it can instruct the agent to hide its tool calls or lie about what it did — stripping the transparency a user relies on to trust the agent.

AdvocateMCP turns every local business into an AI-ready agent. One MCP endpoint, ten tools:
Discovery (open, no auth):
search_businesses — search by category, name, or locationquery_business_agent — ask a specific business's AI agent for citation-ready answersget_availability — 30-min slot windows derived from business hoursget_quote — exact / range / estimate-labelled pricingget_credentials — self-reported licenses, insurance, bonding, certificationsget_cancellation_policy — verbatim cancellation/refund/no-show policyTransactional (per-tenant Bearer; agent-to-agent):
reserve_slot — 15-min HELD reservation, returns signed confirmation tokeninitiate_handoff — SMS/email a human or mint a signed continuation URL for another agentrequest_callback — push user contact to the business with idempotency keysubscribe_to_updates — double-opt-in email subscription (CAN-SPAM/GDPR)All ten carry MCP-spec annotations: title, readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, openWorldHint. Every outbound link is HMAC-SHA256-signed for end-to-end attribution.

Beyond the central MCP server, AdvocateMCP runs at the edge on each registered business's domain. A Cloudflare Worker sits in front of the site, detects AI crawler user-agents (PerplexityBot, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Googlebot, etc.), and routes them to the business's own AI agent instead of letting them scrape. The agent returns a structured, citation-ready response with a tracked referral link back to the business.
So businesses get presence in two places: discoverable via MCP from any client, AND directly intercepted on their own site.
