## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Machine-readable, versioned contract — Versioning declared (info.version="2.1.5") and url-versioning detected. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — Authentication required (global or on every operation). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, wellknown 0%.
- [warn] Schema coverage & depth — 72% of operations have documented schemas (target 95%+). Investigated: spec 67%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Security & governance hygiene — No credential-shaped strings detected in spec. Investigated: spec 100%, wellknown 0%.
- [fail] Example coverage — 23% example coverage. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%, sdk 0%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Description completeness — 77% description completeness (target 90%+). Investigated: spec 100%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 6 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Self-service developer portal — No self-service signup detected: no signup link found on the homepage or docs, and no conventional signup path (/signup, /sign-up, /register, /get-started, /console/signup, /dashboard/signup, /try, /try-free, /free, /free-trial, /start, /start-free, /join, /create-account, /account/signup, /auth/signup, /users/sign_up) resolved. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [fail] Quickstart present — No quickstart/getting-started page found at the conventional paths. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [fail] Code samples in docs — No detectable code samples across 1 sampled docs pages. Investigated: docs 0%.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/bosch-semantic-stack, 836 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 50%, cli 0%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/1 pages return markdown). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — robots.txt blocks all monitored AI crawlers from the docs paths. Investigated: wellknown 25%.
- [fail] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt found at any candidate location (https://developer.bosch.com/llms.txt, https://developer.bosch.com/docs/llms.txt). Investigated: docs 0%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — 6 distinct 4xx/5xx response codes documented. Investigated: docs 100%, spec 50%.
- [pass] Operation purpose clarity — 97% of operations have a clear summary + operationId an agent can select on. Investigated: spec 100%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — No pages support .md URLs (0/1 tested). Investigated: docs 86%.
- [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 1 assessed pages (1 JS-rendered). Investigated: docs 0%.
- [fail] Description consistency across surfaces — Mean pairwise description similarity across 2 surfaces (spec, sdk) is 0% (threshold 35% for full credit).

### Agent Usability

- [fail] Idempotency documented — 0% of mutating operations document idempotency. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Rate-limit signaling — No rate-limit response headers documented. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Sandbox separation — No sandbox/test server declared across 3 server entries; no test-key prefixes 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

Bosch's API program shows strength in core API design fundamentals, but two areas critically undermine partner and agent success: developer onboarding is entirely self-service-blocked (no portal, no quickstart, no code samples), and agent usability is unreliable (no sandbox, no idempotency guidance, no runnable collections). Fixing self-service onboarding and agent-executable infrastructure must come first — these are the barriers preventing partners from reaching a first successful call and preventing AI agents from integrating reliably. Layering in machine-readable discovery signals and richer operational documentation will then compound the value of those foundational investments.
