# generate_free_record

FINAL STEP of making a site AI-citable: generate a free, self-declared v=AEO1 DNS record and .well-known/aeo.json the user publishes on their own domain, so AI engines can verify the facts came from the owner rather than a scrape. Returns the exact TXT record and JSON file with publishing instructions. No crawl, no verification, no account. WRITE action, rate-limited to 10/hour per caller.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "generate_free_record",

## Why generate_free_record is rated Medium

This tool creates/generates new data artifacts (DNS TXT record and JSON file) that the user will publish, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute code, trigger external operations beyond file generation, or delete data. The 'WRITE action' label in the description confirms this categorization.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states it is a 'WRITE action' and generates DNS records and .well-known/aeo.json file that 'the user publishes on their own domain.' The description confirms creation of new records: 'generate a free, self-declared v=AEO1 DNS…"

## Use case

AI agents use generate_free_record to create or update resources in Grounded Aeo, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Grounded Aeo environment.
