## Documentation index [#documentation-index]

Point your tool to [https://help.boltapp.com/llms.txt](https://help.boltapp.com/llms.txt) to discover the documentation set. [Docs for agents](/ai-agents/docs-for-agents) covers the Cursor source, the published skill files, and the OpenAPI specs.

## When your agent calls Bolt APIs [#when-your-agent-calls-bolt-apis]

Reading the documentation does not require merchant credentials. If your agent will make sandbox API calls, create a [Bolt merchant account](https://merchant.boltapp.com/onboarding/get-started) and retrieve credentials from the dashboard.

Keep credentials in environment variables or your tool's secret storage, not in prompts. See [API keys](/getting-started/api-keys) for API key, signing secret, and publishable key usage.

<Info>
  Verify endpoints against the [OpenAPI spec](https://assets.boltapp.com/external-api-references/bolt.yml). Do not invent request shapes or response fields.

## Environments [#environments]

Use sandbox credentials and URLs for development. [Environments](/api-reference/environments) lists the matching API, CDN, and dashboard URLs for sandbox and production.
