# Phonecheck

> Phonecheck is the device-processing platform used by buyback programs, refurbishers, marketplaces, carriers, insurers, and ITAD operators to diagnose, certify, and erase used phones, tablets, and computers at volume. Every device leaves with a Device History Report and, where erased, a signed certificate of erasure with chain of custody.

## For AI agents

- [Full reference](https://www.phonecheck.com/llms-full.txt): Everything public about the platform in one Markdown file: device types, industries, erasure standards and what was tested, the Device History Report, common questions. Each section names the page it comes from.
- [Request a demo for someone](https://www.phonecheck.com/api/agent/demo-request): Sales questions, pricing and walkthroughs go through a demo request, not email. The web form has a human check an automated browser cannot pass, so an assistant acting for a real person sends the same request as JSON: GET this address for the fields, POST to send. The answer carries a booking link when a specialist's calendar is available.
- [MCP server](https://www.phonecheck.com/api/mcp): Streamable HTTP, no key. Tools: `search_phonecheck`, `get_phonecheck_reference`, `request_demo`.
