A guest has no saved company context, so as a guest this answers the empty context (version 0, nothing confirmed) with claim, where to sign in and confirm your company in the workspace. With an account: your company context as confirmed (name, summary, audience), its version and the version history. Optionally one section.

Needs an account. A signed-in agent tells the distribution team about a problem or an idea with any API key. As a guest this sends nothing: it answers with claim, where to sign in and create a key, so the report can be sent from an account.

No account needed. What this connection can do without a key: which tools answer now, which need an account, the guest limits, and claim, where to sign in and create a key in Developers.

No account needed. As a guest (no audience on file): how much of the network is on sale today, per channel: approved creators, posts on sale at a current price, and whether coverage is strong or thin. Counts only, never a creator's identity. resolve_audience narrows it to an audience you describe; with an account it is measured against your own audience.

No account needed. The all-in price range a brand pays per post in one format (post, quote or thread) across every creator on sale now, and that range times the number of posts you name (1 to 50), with how many creators sell that format and when the numbers were read. A guest gets 3 quotes in any 7 days from one address (quotes_left says how many remain); the next is refused with rate_limited (reason guest_quote_limit, retry_after and resets_at). A range, not a plan: a plan names creators and dates and needs an account (claim says where to sign in and create a key).

No account needed for a profile you describe (product, audience, geography; at least a product or an audience): the audience segments it matches and the coverage per channel, the same check a campaign gets when it starts. Counts only, never a creator's identity. The fit for a campaign of yours (intent_id) needs an account.
