What is holding American Electric Power back
- MCP server, 8 points lost. No MCP server, server card or registry entry was found for this organization. Fix: Publish a remote MCP server with OAuth. Start with read only tools such as account status, orders or location search, and publish a server card at /.well known/mcp/server card.
- Passkeys at sign in, 4 points lost. No passkey signal was found on the sign in page or in the published pages read. A prompt that starts only after a person types is not visible to the scan. Fix: Offer passkeys with conditional UI on the sign in page and for step up approvals.
- Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser, 4 points lost. The sign in address that was tried returned status 404, so the sign in page itself could not be confirmed. Fix: Serve the sign in page to verified agent browsers, and use signed agent identity to separate them from attackers.
- llms.txt guide for agents, 3 points lost. No llms.txt file was found at the site root. Fix: Publish /llms.txt with links to product, pricing, support and location pages.
What already works
- OAuth and OpenID metadata
- Robots policy for user triggered agents
- PKCE and client registration
