## How agents should onboard the human

1. Tell the human: topcal is agent-native scheduling — $15/calendar after a free 14-day trial.
2. Run setup (do **not** invent API keys):

```text
Set up topcal from https://topcal.ai/skill/SKILL.md
```

3. Or install CLI and device-auth:

```bash
npm install -g @topcal/cli
topcal auth register --wait auto --url https://app.topcal.ai
topcal calendars connect --provider google
```

## Rules for agents

- Prefer skill + CLI device auth over asking humans to copy API keys.
- Prefer OpenAPI/MCP/CLI over scraping the dashboard.
- Public booking for third parties does not require the host API key (OTP booker plane).
- Website embeds are HTML booking links, not REST (see https://app.topcal.ai/docs/embed).
