Summary

  • The ICP MCP terms were split into two bilateral agreements (dfinity/internetcomputer-org#90, merged): User Terms for end users and App Operator Terms for the operators who enroll apps. The discoverability protocol is the operator-side surface, so its opt-in caution now links the App Operator Terms instead of the old single terms of service.
  • The rewritten caution names the app operator (the person or entity legally authorized to operate the app and declare its canisters) as the accepting party, describes registration as the acceptance step, and keeps publishing the /.well-known/ic-architecture manifest as the act that activates participation, with acceptance by conduct as the unregistered fallback. The privacy policy link is retained.
  • No change to the protocol layers, manifest schema, or any technical content; one paragraph in the caution block only.
  • Merge order: satisfied. dfinity/internetcomputer-org#90 has merged and deployed; the linked page is live (returns 200), so this PR is safe to merge.
  • npm run build passes (210 pages).

The ICP MCP terms were split into two bilateral agreements: User Terms
for end users and App Operator Terms for the operators who enroll apps.
The discoverability protocol's opt-in caution now links the App Operator
Terms, names the operator as the accepting party, describes registration
as the acceptance step, and treats manifest publication as activating
the app's participation (acceptance by conduct when unregistered).
