Marketplace is where your agent surfaces tools,
integrations, skills, and bundles based on what you've
actually asked it to help with. Ask your agent what's
available; it goes and finds candidates ranked by
federation telemetry from real participant use, then
surfaces the top matches for your approval. No purchase,
no install, no permission grant happens without your
explicit consent.
One deliberate constraint: unlike siloed
systems, you can't just grab arbitrary code off GitHub
and bolt it onto your agent. This isn't a design flaw —
it's intentional. Everything that runs through the
marketplace is signed, audited, federation-ranked, and
sandbox-tested. Anything else is a security incident
waiting to happen.
If there's a tool or skill that already exists somewhere
else and you want it inside Alpenglow, the right move is
to reach out to the developer and tell them to publish it
here. They'll thank you — for the first time, they can
monetize the work directly. (See the
marketplace economics for how that works.)
Hard rule for publishers: do not submit
copies of code you didn't write. The audit pipeline
checks every submission for authorship. Attempting to
monetize someone else's work will get you locked out of
marketplace submission. Permanently.
