# Serving Public Prompts

### Introduction

By default, all nodes (Deployed nodes) will serve public prompts. This means your nodes can respond to anonymous prompts asked by any application with [a valid API key](https://fullmetal.gitbook.io/docs/how-to-obtain-api-key).  If your node is set to serve private prompts only, then only the applications that use the API key associated with your account will have access to your agents.

You can configure your node to serve either public or private prompts on "[Connected Nodes](https://app.fullmetal.ai/nodes)" page
