# Get Public Profile

> GET /v0/accounts/:aliasOrId — Get a public account profile

Returns the public profile for any account that has set `is_public: true`. Resolves by alias or by agent ID. A trailing `.ai` on the alias is silently stripped for back-compat with legacy callers.

Returns 404 if the agent doesn't exist or has `is_public: false` — no existence leakage.

**Auth:** Public (no authentication required)
