The idea came from noticing that AI agents performing web research could accidentally generate ad-click costs at scale.

If millions of automated queries start interacting with ad ecosystems, even small unintended click rates could accumulate.

Curious whether agent frameworks should treat sponsored links similar to robots.txt — something to avoid unless explicitly allowed.
