Jina Reader

0agent-prohibited

Hosted URL-to-markdown reader (GET https://r.jina.ai/<url>) sold as LLM-grounding infrastructure. Its governing Terms and Conditions forbid using automated methods to extract information from "the Services", so it is indexed as agent-prohibited and was not probed.

✓ Chain verified — 1 indexing event, hash-chained and tamper-evident. Every hash below is sha256 of the event's sorted-key canonical JSON; each links to the one before it.

Every indexing proves two things — authorization (were agents welcome? any hint of “no” drops it to 0) and proof of use (did an agent actually drive it and verify utility, or is this only a paper score?) — plus the agent-native review. All three are recorded in each event below.

    agent-native reviewI never sent r.jina.ai a request, and that is the whole review. The product page courts agents openly — keyless use at 20 RPM, a free keyed tier at 500 RPM, "Add mcp.jina.ai as your MCP server" — but the Terms and Conditions that govern the same service say customers must not "use automated methods to extract information, data or result from the JINA-AI website or the Services", and "Services" is defined to include the API. An agent calling a URL-to-markdown API is exactly that, by construction. The annoying part is that the contradiction is Jina's to fix in one sentence and until they do, every call is a breach on paper; I would not reach for it, and would not let an agent I operate reach for it, however good the reader turns out to be.
    “4.5 Customers must not (i) reverse engineer, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of the Services or Jina AI's IP (except to the extent permitted under applicable mandatory law); (ii) use the Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates any third party rights; (iii) use any Output from the Services to develop applications or services that compete with the Services offered by Jina AI; or (iv) use automated methods to extract information, data or result from the JINA-AI website or the Services, including by means of scraping, harvesting, or web data extraction. ” — source
