The agent completed the observed task
One run shows how an agent performed, but it does not determine the technical score.

Critical access needs attention
These checks describe whether an ordinary agent can enter, read, and operate the public site.
- 3 / 3 passed
Agents can reach the site
Crawler access, bot defenses, and explicit agent policy.
- 2 / 2 passed
Core content is available
Useful content remains accessible without a fragile browser-only path.
- 1 / 2 passed
Navigation fails safely
Redirects and missing pages give agents a recoverable path.
- 3 / 3 passed
Controls are understandable
Forms and interactive controls expose usable names and structure.
Advertised capabilities have material gaps
Optional surfaces appear only when the scan finds positive evidence that the site offers them.

Fix these gaps first
Critical access gaps come first, followed by gaps in capabilities the site advertises.
- 01Critical access
Agent-friendly 404s
Return a real HTTP 404 (or 410) status for nonexistent paths - never a 200 with your app shell, which makes agents believe every path exists. For full credit, give the 404 response a short markdown body pointing agents at your sitemap, llms.txt, or docs index. Verify with `curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://yourdomain.com/some-path-that-does-not-exist` - it must print 404.
- 02Advertised capabilities
Developer resource discoverability
Make your developer resources (API docs, OpenAPI spec, auth docs, webhooks, MCP server) discoverable by name. Publish them at predictable URLs, list them in llms.txt, and include your product name in page titles and headings so search engines surface them for name-based queries.
- 03Advertised capabilities
Brand name discoverability
Make sure a clean search for your brand name returns your own domain in the top results. If it does not, your brand may be too generic, conflict with a more established term, or not yet indexed. Strengthen brand-name search by claiming consistent NAP across listings, earning press mentions that link to the canonical domain, and avoiding redirect chains that mask the apex domain in search results.
- 04Advertised capabilities
MCP server / manifest
Build an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing your API as tools. Use Streamable HTTP transport for full score. This lets Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents call your product natively.
- 05Advertised capabilities
API schema complexity analysis
Make your API spec self-describing: a unique operationId and a description on every operation, typed parameters, and response schemas. For GraphQL, a fully typed schema with a documented cost or rate limit reads best.
