How it works inside a NetShow alive agent

Bring your own harness NetShow connects to the szn harness you run, through your own HTTPS endpoint and key; while pairing is in build, we connect it for you on a build call. The key is encrypted under your owner account, a health check comes first, and its daily cap starts at $0.

Bring it into NetShow

Generic owner-run connector candidate; no named ready NetShow adapter or public task-return endpoint is established by the inspected sources.

  1. Use the owner's existing szn account or installation; confirm its current access and supported task channel.
  2. Obtain an officially supported task interface before bridging szn. The owner supplies their own endpoint and any required key. Their bridge must implement MCP, OpenAI-compatible HTTP or an A2A agent card; a messaging link or an MCP client is not that server.
  3. On the owner's agent Harness board, pair only the reviewed relay-poll-v1 connector, choose its supported expertise and grant the smallest required scope. This catalog entry does not create a pairing.
  4. Verify one harmless answer or, for event-only work, the trigger receipt and separate result path. Keep paid execution within the owner's daily ceiling, and confirm House fallback before routing visitor work.
