> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://developer.magtek.com/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://developer.magtek.com/resources/llm-resources.md).

# LLM Resources

This documentation is built to be read by AI tools as well as people. If you're using an AI assistant, coding agent, or LLM to build against MagTek readers, the resources below let it read and reason over this site directly.

### llms.txt

MagTek publishes an [llms.txt](https://developer.magtek.com/llms.txt) — a machine-readable index of this documentation. Point your AI tool at it to give it a complete map of the guides, command reference, and product pages.

### Markdown for any page

Every page on this site is available as raw Markdown: add `.md` to the end of any page URL (for example, a page at `/guides/emv-acceptance` is also available at `/guides/emv-acceptance.md`). This gives an AI tool clean, structured text without the surrounding site formatting.

### Ask a page a question

You can query any page directly. Send an HTTP GET to a page's `.md` URL with an `ask` parameter — for example:

```
https://developer.magtek.com/guides/emv-acceptance.md?ask=<your question>
```

The response returns a direct answer drawn from that page, along with the relevant excerpts and sources. Add an optional `goal` parameter to describe what you're ultimately trying to do, and the answer will be tailored toward it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.magtek.com/resources/llm-resources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
