Example prompt: Can you do a passive author name audit on https://exampleblog.com and tell me whether the site properly identifies its author, what evidence was found, and what action you'd recommend?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, passive, read-only check of whether a public website or domain properly documents author identity — without any authentication, form submission, or active probing. It is best suited for content compliance workflows, editorial quality reviews, or monitoring authorship transparency over time using baselines. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you specifically need a structured verdict and evidence citation about author attribution.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — audit cannot retrieve evidence
- Target domain has no publicly visible author information — observation will note absence, verdict likely fails
- Malformed or too-short target URL (minLength 3) — validation error returned
- Target blocks crawlers or has paywalled content — limitations field will note inaccessibility
- Baseline provided does not match current target structure — comparison may be inconclusive

## How this service works

Author identity audit fetches current public evidence from the supplied target and evaluates the documented criterion. It returns the observation, threshold, verdict, exact evidence source, limitations and a mode-specific action. The check is passive: no login attempt, payload injection, exploit, purchase, form submission or load test is performed.

## Output

Returns a structured report including: an observation describing what was found on the target, the evaluation threshold, a pass/fail verdict on author identity documentation, the exact evidence source URL or location, identified limitations of the passive check, and a mode-specific recommended action. No login, form submission, or exploit is performed.
