Show HN: Guestlist – know which sites will let your agent in

I've been building computer-use agents prototypes for the last few months and I had a reoccurring problem: many sites the agent should be able to use (common SaaS dashboards, retail sites, newspapers etc) just block it by recognizing them as non-humans. The problem is that this always leads to longer execution times since the agent doesn't know when to call it quits and just runs in a loop until forced timeout or worse it returns hallucinations. This was especially bad for swarm projects that require a lot of research being done in parallel but they featured a consistent 40%-60% block rate.

So I decided to build a probe script: a Chrome-controlled browser (matching the fingerprint of a real CUA setup) probing blocking mechanisms of URLs on the internet and tagging each one green/red based on whether the page loads or which WAF vendor stepped in (in some cases a CUA harness is used to get better precision). The result is guestlist - a Python API that lets you check if a URL is open to interact it for you CUA before sending your agent to it.

There are of course tools in this space that help you mask your agent to make it look more "human" which work well, but I think that having a tool like this in addition to them can help with consistency on large scale projects.
