## Score by area

| Area | Score | What it asks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Discoverability | 56 out of 100, worth 15 points | Can an agent find and read your pages? |
| Protocol access | 70 out of 100, worth 20 points | Can an agent connect to you through MCP or an API? |
| Identity and delegation | 68 out of 100, worth 20 points | Can a customer give an agent limited access without sharing a password? |
| Web experience | 17 out of 100, worth 15 points | Does your site work when an agent uses it? |

| Policy and governance | Not measured yet | Do your terms allow agents that act for customers? |

## What is holding OpenAI back

1. **Documented delegate and data sharing controls**, 4 points lost. No public page on delegate access or connected app controls was found. Fix: Publish a help page on delegate access and add a connected apps screen where customers revoke access.
2. **Sign in page loads for a declared agent in a browser**, 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.
3. **Structured data on the home page**, 3 points lost. No JSON LD structured data was found on the home page. Fix: Add JSON LD for your organization type, Product or Service, Offer and FAQPage on the pages customers ask about most.
4. **Content available without running scripts**, 3 points lost. Almost none of the visible text is in the first HTML response. An agent that does not run scripts sees an empty page. Fix: Render product, pricing and help content on the server so the first response contains the text.

## What already works

- OAuth and OpenID metadata
- Sitemap that includes help and pricing pages
