1.7 AI Agent-Specific Prohibitions

CueAPI is designed for use by AI agents and automated systems. The following additional restrictions apply:

• Creating recursive or self-referential cue chains designed to consume resources or evade rate limits
• Using CueAPI to schedule or orchestrate attacks on third-party systems via autonomous agents
• Using CueAPI as a coordination layer for botnets, credential stuffing, distributed scraping, or other automated abuse campaigns

Account holder responsibility: You are fully responsible for all actions taken by agents, scripts, or automated systems using your API key. “My agent did it” is not a defense against AUP violations. You are responsible for monitoring your agents' behavior and revoking compromised API keys promptly.

2. Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations of this AUP. During an investigation, we may temporarily suspend access to your account to protect the service and other users. We will make reasonable efforts to contact you before or during any suspension.

If you believe your account was suspended or terminated in error, you may appeal by emailing [email protected] within 30 days. We will review your appeal and respond within 14 business days.

3. Reporting Violations

If you believe someone is using CueAPI in violation of this policy, please report it to [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible, including account identifiers, timestamps, and a description of the violation.

We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly. Reports may be submitted anonymously, but providing contact information allows us to follow up if we need additional details.

4. Relationship to Terms of Service

This AUP is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between this AUP and the Terms, the more restrictive provision applies. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this AUP from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of CueAPI after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
