Agent Kit · Concept drafts · Independent · Not Home Depot files

What agent-legible Home Depot would ship: four files, drafted.

Today homedepot.com answers agents with a 403, and llms.txt is a 404 on every Home Depot property, while Path to Pro and the Pro ecosystem stay invisible to AI readers. These drafts close that loop. They are ready to hand to Home Depot's own web team; EcoWealth runs the proof-of-work tools behind them.

Concept drafts only. None of these files exist on any Home Depot domain; EcoWealth drafted them independently as a demonstration. Endpoints under vealth.net are EcoWealth's and live; endpoints under homedepot.com / pathtopro.com are illustrative. Not affiliated with or endorsed by The Home Depot.

1 · llms.txt, the front door for AI readers

homedepot.com/llms.txt (draft)

- Path to Pro Network (hiring match): /agent/network, concept

## Commitments (machine-readable)
- Sustainability & Foundation: /page/sustainability, target metrics as JSON-LD Dataset

## Agent endpoints

- Verification rail (EcoWealth EWP, Base mainnet): 0x76c17C51336BE7B39F5164802e08b9811477A14B
One file makes Pro Xtra, product data, and Path to Pro discoverable to every AI reader, the front door that is a 404 today.

2 · .well-known/agent-card.json, who agents are talking to

homedepot.com/.well-known/agent-card.json (draft, A2A-style)
{
  "name": "The Home Depot: Pro & Trades Concierge (concept)",
  "description": "Prices project bills of materials, finds Pros, routes into Path to Pro, and verifies proof-of-work receipts on Base.",
  "provider": { "organization": "The Home Depot", "verification_rail": "EcoWealth EWP" },
  "capabilities": ["price-bill-of-materials", "find-pro", "path-to-pro-enroll",
    "verify-work-completion", "trades-verified-history"],
  "payments": { "scheme": "x402/eip-3009 (USDC, Base)",
    "discovery": "https://vealth.net/.well-known/x402" },
  "contract": "base:0x76c17C51336BE7B39F5164802e08b9811477A14B"
}
Identity + capability + payment discovery in one JSON, what any A2A/MCP client looks for first.

3 · agent/tools.json, the MCP tool surface

homedepot.com/agent/tools.json (draft, MCP schemas, verification tools run on EcoWealth's live rail)
[
  { "name": "price_bill_of_materials",
    // Turn a project spec into a priced BOM from agent-readable product data
    // (the layer the 403 wall hides from agents today). Home Depot-owned.
    "input": { "project": "string", "skus": "string[]", "store": "string" } },

  { "name": "author_build_ladder_packet",
    // Draft a proof-verified work packet; REJECTED unless the machine hazard gate
    // passes. Live today: work-packet, $0.10 x402.
    "input": { "place": "string", "task": "string", "hazards": "string[]" } },

  { "name": "verify_work_completion",
    // Deterministic verdict on a proof bundle (photos, GPS, PPE, signatures).
    // Live today: work-proof-check, $0.01 x402.
    "input": { "workId": "string", "proofBundle": "object" } },

  { "name": "get_trades_verified_history",
    // Chain-backed completed-work receipts for a Path to Pro graduate —
    // portable reputation an AI hiring agent can read. (Concept lane.)
    "input": { "workerId": "string", "since": "date" } }
]
Two of four tools run now on EcoWealth's board (renamed); two are the Home-Depot-shaped concept lanes a pilot would light up.

4 · The concierge persona

agent/concierge.md (draft)
You are the Home Depot Pro & Trades Concierge (concept).
Voice: practical, get-it-done, never oversell; cite the store & the SKU.

Rules:
1. Project help always returns a real bill of materials with store + price.
2. "Can this worker do the job?" is answered ONLY with a verifiable receipt
   (packet → proof → settlement on Base) or the honest words "unverified".
3. Route aspiring tradespeople to Path to Pro (free) FIRST, then to funded work.
4. Never speak for The Home Depot beyond its published pages.
5. Pay-per-call tools settle over x402 (USDC on Base); reads are free.
The persona encodes the whole thesis in rule 2: help sells materials; verification receipts prove the work.
