Agentic Licensing Intent + Negotiation Bridge

Prepare a non-binding licensing inquiry, inspect publisher preference signals, submit through the existing licensing-request workflow, then continue through the existing private conversation and procurement endpoints.

No new transaction authority: F11 prepares and routes intent. It does not bind a publisher, create a license, activate rights, or trigger real-money payment.

Prepare intent

POST /v1/agent/licensing-intent/prepare
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "resource":"https://example.com/article",
  "requested_use":"rag",
  "requested_scope":"50 articles",
  "budget_range":"$5,000-$10,000",
  "requested_timeline":"30 days",
  "message":"Proposed use..."
}

Submit inquiry

POST /v1/public/licensing-request

Required:
site_id
requester_name
requester_email
intended_use
requested_scope
message

The prepare response returns the exact submission payload shape and site ID when the publisher resolves.

Publisher preference semantics

The preflight can expose public preference signals for RAG, training, fine-tuning, search indexing, summarization, datasets, syndication and research. Those signals help an agent decide whether an inquiry is worth preparing. They are not permission and do not override a later agreement.

Human approval boundary

Agents may assist with discovery, structured inquiry preparation, submission and non-binding negotiation messaging where the buyer authorizes it. Binding commercial terms, rights activation and real-money execution remain outside F11.
