Agent readiness guide

Understand what makes a website ready for AI agents

Agent Ready Check helps site owners, developers, SEO teams, and product teams audit the technical signals that modern AI agents use to discover, read, authenticate, and transact on the web.

AGENT READY CHECK

A technical map for the agentic web

The scan follows the same path an AI agent would take: discover the site, read the content, understand access policy, locate protocols, and identify commerce signals when transactions matter.

Make your site easier for agents to understand

The checker looks for machine-readable signals that help AI agents discover pages, understand policies, find APIs, and decide how to interact with your website.

Find practical fixes instead of vague advice

Each report groups issues by discovery, content access, bot controls, protocol metadata, and commerce readiness, then gives implementation guidance you can hand to a developer.

Create shareable readiness reports

Every completed scan can produce a public report URL, making it easy to share findings with teammates, clients, agencies, or technical partners.

Discoverability

Signals that help agents find the important parts of your site.

robots.txt

A robots.txt file tells compliant crawlers which paths they may access. For agent readiness, it is also a natural place to expose sitemap directives and AI bot preferences.

Sitemap

A sitemap lists important URLs so crawlers and agents can discover content beyond the homepage. It is especially useful for large sites, docs, product catalogs, and frequently updated pages.

Link response headers

HTTP Link headers can point machines to related resources such as API catalogs, documentation, status pages, or service descriptions without requiring a human to inspect the page.

Content Accessibility

Cleaner content formats for agents that need to read and summarize pages.

Markdown negotiation

Agents often read structured text more reliably than complex HTML. Supporting requests for Markdown gives agents a cleaner representation while keeping regular HTML for browsers.

Bot Access Control

Policy and trust signals for automated traffic and AI crawlers.

AI bot rules

AI-specific crawler rules help communicate which automated systems may access your site and which paths should be restricted.

Content Signals

Content Signals express preferences such as whether content may be used for search, training, or AI input workflows. They make usage intent clearer for systems that honor these directives.

Web Bot Auth

Web Bot Auth is about proving that an automated request comes from a declared agent. Request signing can help separate trusted agents from anonymous scraping traffic.

Protocol Discovery

Machine-readable metadata for APIs, agents, auth, tools, and skills.

MCP

Model Context Protocol helps AI applications connect to tools, APIs, data sources, and services through a common interface. A discoverable MCP server makes your capabilities easier for agents to find and use.

A2A Agent Card

An Agent Card describes an agent endpoint, identity, capabilities, and interaction details so other agents can discover it without custom setup.

Agent Skills

An Agent Skills index lists reusable skills, descriptions, URLs, and integrity metadata. It helps agents understand what task-specific capabilities are available on a domain.

API Catalog

An API catalog provides a machine-readable map of public API endpoints, service descriptions, documentation, and status resources.

OAuth and OIDC discovery

OAuth and OpenID Connect metadata let clients discover authorization endpoints, token endpoints, supported scopes, and related authentication details automatically.

WebMCP

WebMCP describes browser or web-app capabilities that agents can discover before attempting to operate a site or application surface.

OAuth Protected Resource

Protected Resource Metadata tells clients which resource they are accessing and which authorization servers can issue tokens for that resource.

Agentic Commerce

Payment and checkout signals for agent-assisted buying and selling.

x402

x402 uses the HTTP 402 Payment Required flow for internet-native payments, allowing agents or applications to pay for API calls, content, or services as part of a request.

UCP

Universal Commerce Protocol standardizes how agents, commerce systems, and checkout experiences exchange product and transaction information.

ACP

Agentic Commerce Protocol focuses on the programmatic exchange between buyers, agents, and sellers so agent-assisted checkout can happen with clear roles and status updates.

AP2 and MPP

Agent payment protocols such as AP2 and MPP aim to make consent, payment authorization, and machine-to-machine settlement safer for agent-led transactions.
