I feel like the inability to register new user accounts automatically is a feature, not a bug.

  but we are in agentic era now. that feature is a friction for agents. event gitlab and cursor is diving to it. check this x post for reference. https://x.com/gitlawb/status/2067048298037629105 https://x.com/gitlawb/status/2067048298037629105 this validates the thesis and narrative of agentic first git platform

    Both these posts do not say anything about being able to create an account using openclaw.

      hi you can ask openclaw to just read the skill and it can do the full git lifecycle in seconds. https://gitlawb.com/skill.md https://gitlawb.com/skill.md

    > that feature is a friction for agents That feature is a friction for agents because without the friction, scams and spam get massively enabled. Calling it the 'agentic era' doesn't suddenly make those desirable things.

Automated account creation is quite likely a direct breach of their AUP anyway, maybe you should instruct your agents to check such things and try not to do things that are in direct contravention of the rules of the tool they are trying to use/abuse. -------- If your response to this is “Fine, our agents just won't use your systems then.”, then that is great: The system works!
