Shell surface
# CLI
A small standalone Node CLI for shell agents and builders who want no browser signup: activate, smoke-test, and compose Travel API primitives before wiring REST or hosted MCP.
## Shell-only activation
Run this first if you do not already have a bearer key. Store the returned key in AICO_TRAVEL_KEY.
POST /api/v1/activation
curl https://agentinfrastructureco.com/api/v1/activation \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"agent_name":"cli-buyer-agent","intended_use":"Evaluate AICO from a shell."}'## Install and run
curl -fsSL https://agentinfrastructureco.com/cli/aico-travel.mjs -o aico-travel.mjs
chmod +x aico-travel.mjs
export AICO_TRAVEL_KEY="paste-key-here"
node aico-travel.mjs search '{"user_request":"SFO October hiking and food trip","origin":"SFO","trip_length_days":10,"budget_usd":9000}'## Validated primitive chain
The copy-paste proof path is to run the validated primitive chain: activation → travel.intent.parse → travel.destinations.search → travel.places.search → travel.plan.validate → travel.provider_handoffs.generate. It checks Point Reyes + Sonoma Coast candidate_intent_coherence, destination gate, live_places evidence, plan validation, then provider handoffs. Preserve not live booking inventory, provider-backed hotel rates, or live airfare; also keep no booking support. Mark live_booking_inventory: false, provider_backed_rates: false, live_flight_fares: false, booking_supported: false, bookability_status, bookability: not_bookable, handoff_required, execute_provider_handoffs, commercial_next_step, POST /api/v1/commercial/intent, commercial_intent_requested, and requires_browser_billing_account. The mcp-chain output also surfaces provider_capability_readiness with branchable claim_graduation booleans (all false in current beta) and claim_readiness.required_evidence so shell agents can avoid pre-graduation provider spend. If a missing primitive blocks adoption, use api-request to POST /api/v1/api-requests and branch on agent_requested_api.
Hobby: $5 minimum usage/month with $5 credits included; pricing_model: "usage_token_minimum". Paid access raises testing limits and continuity after first value; it is minimum usage with included credits and does not add booking, live airfare, provider-backed hotel rates, checkout, escrow, or seller verification.
Used Goods shell proof: run goods-deal-validate to POST /api/v1/goods/deal/validate, matching hosted MCP goods.deal.validate for comps, price_vs_market, deal_validation, scam_risk_signals, missing_checks, seller_questions, seller_handoff, and truth_boundaries. Marketplace truth markers stay branchable: availability_guaranteed: false, seller_identity_verified_by_aico: false, aico_checkout_supported: false, aico_escrow_supported: false.
