## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 18/18 enums are named types (not bare strings). Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 83%.
- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — Authentication required (global or on every operation). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [warn] Machine-readable, versioned contract — info.version="1.0.0" set but no versioning scheme (URL / header / media type) detected. Investigated: spec 75%, docs 50%.
- [pass] Security & governance hygiene — No credential-shaped strings detected in spec. Investigated: spec 100%, wellknown 100%.
- [pass] Example coverage — 91% example coverage across params + responses. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 100%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Code samples in docs — Code samples present on 1/20 pages across 1 language(s); broader multi-language coverage missing. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 62% description completeness (target 90%+). Investigated: spec 100%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 0 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Self-service developer portal — Signup page is sales-gated (contact-sales/request-access language detected). Investigated: docs 0%.
- [fail] Quickstart present — No quickstart/getting-started page found at the conventional paths. Investigated: docs 0%.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — All 50 sampled pages are publicly accessible. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/bird, 14137 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, cli 100%, sdk 67%, mcp 0%, wellknown 0%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't fully follow the proposed structure: https://docs.bird.com/api/llms.txt: No blockquote summary found. Investigated: docs 81%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (1 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — error codes documented in the docs site at https://docs.bird.com/api/channels-api/message-status-and-interactions/message-failure-sources/whatsapp-platform-extended-error-codes. Investigated: docs 100%, spec 50%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — 23 of 50 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 30% missing). Investigated: docs 61%.
- [fail] Operation purpose clarity — 0% of operations are agent-inferable. Investigated: spec 0%.
- [fail] Agent instructions file (AGENTS.md) — No AGENTS.md at the site root or /.well-known/. Investigated: wellknown 0%.
- [fail] Docs structured data — Neither JSON-LD nor OpenGraph/meta tags detected across 2 assessed pages (2 JS-rendered). Investigated: docs 0%.
- [skip] Description consistency across surfaces — Only 0 surface description(s) with ≥6 tokens available; need at least 2 to compare.

### Agent Usability

- [warn] Sandbox separation — No test-mode flag or sandbox environment is exposed. Investigated: sdk 50%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Idempotency documented — 0% of mutating operations document idempotency. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%, sdk 0%.
- [fail] Rate-limit signaling — No rate-limit response headers documented. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Runnable collection with test scripts — No public Postman workspace discovered for the org. Investigated: platform 0%.
- [skip] Pagination documented & consistent — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

## Executive Summary

Bird's API Design and Agent Discovery are standout strengths — partners and agents can find and read the contract without friction. The critical gaps are in Agent Understanding and Agent Usability: docs lack the machine-readable context, operation clarity, and structured signals that AI agents need to integrate without guesswork, and the program is missing the runnable, reliability-signaling artifacts that let partners and their agents build trusted, production-ready workflows. Closing these gaps — starting with agent-readable documentation and executable onboarding — will materially accelerate partner activation and reduce integration failures.
