Watch out

Some sites block agents. Amazon's Conditions of Use now include rules for AI agents, and since mid-October Grok Bot users (and Meta Muse users in September) report being blocked there. Don't ask a bot to get around it: use another store or finish the Amazon order yourself.
Always review substitutions and the final total before paying.
