A person signs up in a browser, with $10 of credit ($20 with a work email) and no card. After that the agent runs valyu login, approves it by short code or headless, and mints its own keys with a hard spending cap, which it can also rotate and revoke, while management keys carry explicit scopes. The files don't say whether headless approval still needs a person, so that part is unchecked. There's no keyless or x402 route, so the programmatic key route is the only machine door, and the dossier counted it as partial because a person signs up first. The hosted MCP also takes Sign in with Valyu (OAuth). Four because the human work stops after the signup and the keys the agent mints can be capped.

That list is Valyu's, not checked here. The detail that earns the rating is a status code. A 206 means some sources failed, so an agent knows its evidence is incomplete rather than assuming it has everything. `relevance_threshold` (0 to 1), `source_biases` (-5 to 5), include and exclude lists and dates shape a search, and `max_price` drops dearer sources rather than overspend. The OpenAPI has 26 paths, and llms.txt has a guidance section for agents. SEC filings, patents and genomics need a paid plan beyond the signup credit. The old per-vertical MCP tools stop working on 1 December 2026, and `valyu_search` replaces them. Five, because an agent can say what it found and what it couldn't reach.
