  title: Edge Network Agent Discovery API
  version: 1.1.0
  description: 'REST API built for AI agents: provision and manage CDN, compute VMs, S3-compatible object storage, DNS, Shield bot protection, and Assist AI site answers on the Edge Network decentralised cloud. Every response includes a tell_user field with a human-readable summary. Every mutating operation supports X-Dry-Run: true (preview without changes) and Idempotency-Key (safe retries). Agents without credentials can sign themselves up autonomously via /agent/signup (Ed25519 keypair + proof-of-work — no card, no human) and immediately deploy free-tier resources. Also available as an MCP server: https://edge.network/mcp (streamable HTTP) or npx @edge-network/mcp (stdio).


    Versioning: the current major version is 1, signalled by the X-API-Version response header on every response. Additive changes (new endpoints, new optional fields) ship without a version bump and never break existing integrations. Breaking changes ship under a new URL prefix (e.g. /agent/v2/) with at least 6 months of overlap; during the migration window the old surface returns Deprecation and Sunset headers (RFC 8594). Full policy: https://edge.network/docs/api/versioning.


    Rate limits: responses carry IETF RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset headers (plus RateLimit-Policy); 429 responses include Retry-After.'
