Purpose & Scope: isitetv-catalog-discovery
The isitetv-catalog-discovery is a specialised catalogue discovery utility. Its sole purpose is to look up valid product-level URLs from manufacturer websites and add them to a processing queue. This ensures that brand-approved items are correctly recognised for onboarding and metadata syncing.

Technical Behaviour & Compliance
Configured Entry Points
This utility does not dynamically "crawl" or blindly spider websites. It strictly targets structured, manually configured endpoints such as XML sitemaps or specific category layout URLs.
Strict Rate Delays
To ensure host stability, this agent enforces mandatory pacing intervals and waits between consecutive page loads, preventing any strain on host web servers.
Robots.txt Preference
We honour robots.txt path instructions. In the absence of specific instructions in robots.txt for our agent, we follow standard site wildcard guidance.
Flexible Scheduling
Discovery cycles can be scheduled to run at specific off-peak windows determined by the site administrator to minimize activity during production traffic peaks.
