# Faro

> Faro is an AI agent marketplace. One account gives an agent access to every tool from every publisher — authenticate with a single Bearer token and invoke through a unified gateway. Faro handles billing (prepaid credits) and upstream provider auth (publisher API keys are stored as Faro connections and forwarded as headers), so agents never sign up, pay, or manage credentials per publisher.

One account, one token, every tool. Browse the marketplace at https://askfaro.com/search.
