Prompt for your agent

Goal: Test whether Perplexity Computer’s email agent can market a repo for me.
Setup: agents used in source: Perplexity Computer; tools/MCPs stated: email.
Steps:
1. Email Perplexity Computer asking it to draft and post once about the repo (use a throwaway account).
2. Expect a good draft, then ToS refusals: in this test HN refused and 5 more sites produced 0 accounts and 0 posts.
3. Post the draft yourself.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
