  description: 'List a software tool on Another Directory without an account. An AI agent writes the listing and sends it with the maker''s email; nothing is generated on the server. Then it adds the badge to the tool''s site (free plan) or pays for Pro or Boost, and the listing goes live. Editing the text later needs an account with the same email.

      description: 'Creates the listing. It is published only once a plan is picked, so send `plan`: "free" with `badge_url` checks the badge and publishes it when found; "pro" or "boost" returns a Stripe `checkout_url`, and it goes live when the payment lands. Without `plan` it stays an unpublished draft (finish it through `actions`). The text can''t be changed through the API afterwards.'
