Skill: Scan Site for Agent Readiness

What This Skill Does

Scans any website URL and checks whether it implements the standards and protocols that make it accessible to AI agents. Checks 22 standards across 5 categories: discoverability, content accessibility, bot access control, API/auth/MCP discovery, and commerce. Returns a readiness level (0-5), the status of all 22 checks, and fix instructions for any failing checks.

When to Use It

• Checking whether a site supports agent protocols (MCP, robots.txt, Link headers, etc.)
• Debugging why a site is missing specific agent-readiness checks
• Getting actionable fix instructions to improve a site's agent readiness
• Comparing agent readiness across multiple sites

How to Call It

Send a POST request to the scan API:

POST https://isitagentready.com/api/scan
Content-Type: application/json

{"url": "https://example.com", "format": "agent"}

Parameters

• url (required): The URL to scan. Must be a valid HTTP or HTTPS URL.
• format (optional): Set to "agent" for a markdown response with fix instructions, or "json" (default) for structured data.

Using the MCP Server

Alternatively, connect to the MCP server at:

https://isitagentready.com/mcp

Call the scan_site tool with a url parameter.

How to Interpret Results

JSON Format

The response includes:

• level: Integer 0-5 indicating overall readiness
• levelName: Human-readable level name (e.g., "Agent-Readable")
• checks: Object with 5 categories, each containing individual check results
• nextLevel: What's needed to reach the next level
• Each check has status ("pass", "fail", or "unableToCheck") and a message

Agent Format

Returns a markdown document listing:

• The site's current score (e.g., "3/5 Agent-Readable")
• All failing checks with descriptions and fix instructions
• If all checks pass, a confirmation message

Level Scale

Level	Name	Key Requirements
0	Not Ready	Fewer than 2 of: robots.txt, sitemap, Link headers
1	Basic Web Presence	2 of 3: robots.txt, sitemap, Link headers
2	Bot-Aware	Level 1 + both: AI bot rules in robots.txt, Content Signals
3	Agent-Readable	Level 2 + markdown content negotiation
4	Agent-Integrated	Level 3 + 1 of 4: MCP Server Card, A2A Agent Card, agent skills, API catalog
5	Agent-Native	Level 4 + 2 of 3: Web Bot Auth, all integrations, auth metadata (OAuth or Auth.md)
