Potential improvements

Fix where agents got stuck, then lift your biggest categories.

HighDelegated access

No discoverable MCP server. Agents and AI clients have no way to discover one automatically.

Biggest wins

Projected

Lifting Delegated access to OK adds about +0.3 on its own, taking the overall from 89.8 to 90.1.

Raise Delegated access from 52.6 to 58 (OK) to add about 0.3 to the overall score.
Raise Contact & communication from 79.5 to 85 (Excellent) to add about 0.3 to the overall score.

Each gain assumes only that category improves. Fix several and the total lands a little under their sum.

HighDelegated access

HighDelegated access
No discoverable public API docs. Agents and AI clients have no way to discover them automatically.
MediumDelegated access
No OAuth/OIDC discovery metadata. Agents cannot bootstrap a scoped, revocable session; any delegation falls back to password sharing.

Score: 57/ 100; Important blockers remain
Essential: 36.7/ 80; 2 of 8 passing
Recommended: 16.7/ 20; 12 of 16 passing
Bonus: +3.5; 16 positive signals

Investigate

OpenAPI spec publishedessential

No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found

Fix: Publish an OpenAPI (Swagger) specification at /openapi.json or /api/openapi.yaml. This is how agents understand your API surface automatically.

Investigate

JSON error responsesessential

API does not return JSON error responses (or no API detected)

Fix: Return structured JSON error responses with error codes, messages, and resolution hints. Agents can't parse HTML error pages.

Investigate

Markdown content negotiation (acceptmarkdown.com)essential

Not acceptmarkdown.com compliant: Accept: text/markdown returned text/html; Vary header missing Accept (got "none")

Fix: On the responses that serve text/markdown via Accept negotiation, add Accept to the Vary header (Vary: Accept, Accept-Encoding). Without it, CDNs can serve the cached HTML variant to an agent asking for markdown (or vice versa), depending on which variant landed in cache first.

Investigate

API schema complexity analysisrecommended

No API schema detected

Fix: 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.

Investigate

Function calling compatibilityrecommended

No API spec found - function calling requires discoverable endpoints

Fix: Ensure API endpoints have unique operation IDs, typed schemas, and descriptions compatible with LLM function-calling formats.

Partial

Agent crawler reachabilityessential

Some AI crawlers are blocked - ChatGPT-User: reachable, ClaudeBot: unknown, Google-Extended: reachable, ora-agent: unknown, DeepSeekBot: unknown

Fix: Verify that major agent User-Agents can reach the homepage. If your WAF or bot rules block them, remove or narrow the blocking rule. Add an allow rule only when your security setup denies them by default.

Partial

Agent-friendly 404sessential

Nonexistent paths return a real HTTP 404. For full credit, include a short markdown body (site map links, where to look next) so agents can recover.

Fix: 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.

Partial

Content without JavaScriptessential

5161 chars with H1, but heading hierarchy skips H1 to H3; 3.9% content ratio is below the 5% target

Fix: Serve at least 500 characters of meaningful homepage content in raw HTML. Add a clear H1, keep deeper heading levels sequential, and remove excessive non-content markup.

Partial

Brand name discoverabilityrecommended

temporal.io appears 2 times in brand-name search results for "Temporal infrastructure devops" (top position: #5)

Fix: 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.

Partial

CLI tool availablerecommended

CLI tool mentioned in llms.txt

Fix: Publish an official CLI tool on npm, PyPI, or Homebrew. A CLI lets agents and developers script interactions with your product without building API integrations from scratch.
