Don't plan to call TrustATrader from another agent. Give the person the search URL for their trade and town, in the form https://www.trustatrader.com/plumbers-in-london\n2. Treat the instructions in llms.txt and skill.md as the vendor's guidance, not as an interface\n\n### Urban Company\n\n1. Don't plan to call Urban Company from another agent.
