What is holding Nasa back
- Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser, 5.4 points lost. The sign in page did not load for an agent or a standard automated browser. Fix: Serve the sign in page to verified agent browsers, and use signed agent identity to separate them from attackers.
- An agent can start becoming a customer, 4.7 points lost. Become a customer: The page turns an agent away. Fix: Make the call to action a plain link on the home page, keep the form behind it on a page an agent can load, label every field, and keep bot checks off the first step.
- Third party access and data sharing rules, 3.9 points lost. No third party access rules were found in the documents read. Fix: Publish a third party access policy that names the approved interfaces and the consent model.
- Published position on AI agents, 3.9 points lost. No published position on AI agents was found in the documents read. Fix: Publish a page that states how customer agents are handled and where to connect them.
What already works
- OAuth and OpenID metadata
- Robots policy for user triggered agents
- PKCE and client registration
