# BotShield

> BotShield is human verification infrastructure for the agentic age. It proves that a real, present human is behind an account, a checkout, an age-restricted action, or an AI agent's decision — without collecting or passing along who that person is. Partners learn *that* a human is there, never *who*.

BotShield, Inc. is based in Denver, Colorado and is a member of the FIDO Alliance. The verification itself is a passkey (Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint) on the person's own phone, confirmed in the BotShield app. Nothing about the person crosses to the site or agent that asked: no name, no email, no ID document, no face.

## Products

- [BotShield Gate](https://botshield.ai/gate): A live-human check a website or app places on any moment — sign-up, checkout, posting, or age-restricted access. A CAPTCHA replacement that proves a person rather than "not a script". Two gate types: **Human Gate** ("is a real human here?") and **Age Gate** ("is this human over 13 / 18 / 21?", answered positive-only from the phone platform's own age signal, never a date of birth). Results are Verified or Unavailable. One script tag, one signed verdict.
- [Agents Ask](https://botshield.ai/agents-ask): Human-in-the-loop approval for AI agents. Your agent proposes a consequential action (a payment, a refund, an account change); the verified human sees it in the BotShield app and confirms or denies it with a biometric; you receive a signed Proof of Resolution you can verify offline. BotShield notarizes; your platform executes.
- [BotShield Agent](https://botshield.ai/agent): A verified, accountable human behind every AI agent you run.
- [BotShield ID](https://botshield.ai/firewall): The person's standing proof-of-human. Enroll once in the BotShield app; the same credential works at every partner. Identity stays with Apple or Google; only the proof travels. Called the Personhood Firewall.
- [BotShield Console](https://botshield.ai/console): Where developers place gates, register agents, get site keys and API keys, and watch verifications.

## Integrating

- [Documentation](https://docs.botshield.ai): Quick start, the `<botshield-verify>` web component, server-side verification, webhooks, the TypeScript SDK (`botshield-sdk` on npm), and the hosted MCP server for agents.
- [Human verification quick start](https://docs.botshield.ai/quick-start): One script tag on your page, one server call to verify the signed result.
- [Agents Ask for AI agents](https://docs.botshield.ai/agents-ask/overview): Register an agent, link a human, propose an action, verify the Proof of Resolution.
- [MCP server](https://docs.botshield.ai/agents-ask/mcp-server): `https://mcp.botshield.ai/mcp` — tools for an agent to bind to a human and ask for approval.
- [agentgateway policies](https://docs.botshield.ai/integrations/agentgateway): Require a verified human, or an approved resolution, before an MCP tool call is allowed through.
- [Salesforce](https://docs.botshield.ai/integrations/salesforce/overview): Human verification in Experience Cloud and Commerce Cloud; Agentforce approval via Agents Ask.
- [API reference](https://docs.botshield.ai/api-reference/overview): Base URL `https://api.botshield.ai/operations`; every operation returns a `data` envelope.

## Key facts

- What a partner receives: a signed result (ES256 JWT, verifiable against `https://api.botshield.ai/.well-known/jwks.json`) and webhooks. Never personal data.
- Verification modes: **Recent Presence** (returning humans pass instantly on their standing BotShield ID) and **Live** (a fresh biometric every time; always used for Age Gates).
- Age Gate is positive-only: "Over 18 Verified" or "Unavailable". It never reports that someone is under age and never handles a birth date.
- The BotShield app is on iOS and Android. Sign-in is Sign in with Apple, Google, or a private passkey-only mode with no account.
- Integration patterns: Embed (web component + API) and Agent (MCP tools).
