## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Example coverage — README is present and includes a runnable quickstart. Investigated: sdk 100%, docs 0%.
- [warn] Schema coverage & depth — 0/105 (0%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer reports not all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 25%.
- [fail] Security & governance hygiene — No security.txt at /.well-known/security.txt or /security.txt. Investigated: wellknown 0%.
- [skip] Machine-readable, versioned contract — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Auth declared & discoverable — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Developer Experience

- [fail] Self-service developer portal — No signup page detected across conventional paths (/signup, /sign-up, /register, /get-started, /console/signup, /dashboard/signup, /try, /try-free, /free, /free-trial, /start, /start-free). 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%.
- [fail] Description completeness — 78/78 operations lack a description. Investigated: sdk 0%.
- [skip] Changelog published — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/column, 1300 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 58%, cli 0%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — Could not test any pages; 50 failed to fetch. Investigated: docs 75%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/50 sampled pages return markdown). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [pass] Crawlable / AEO — Docs paths crawlable by all monitored AI agents. Investigated: wellknown 100%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — Single base error "BaseException" with 4 subclasses. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — Could not fetch HTML for any pages to compare; 50 failed to fetch. Investigated: docs 80%.
- [warn] Docs structured data — OpenGraph/meta tags only across 1 assessed pages — no JSON-LD for answer engines to cite. Investigated: docs 50%.
- [warn] Description consistency across surfaces — Mean pairwise description similarity across 2 surfaces (docs, sdk) is 5% (threshold 35% for full credit).
- [fail] Agent instructions file (AGENTS.md) — No AGENTS.md at the site root or /.well-known/. Investigated: wellknown 0%.
- [skip] Operation purpose clarity — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Agent Usability

- [warn] Sandbox separation — No test-mode flag or sandbox environment is exposed. Investigated: sdk 50%.
- [fail] Idempotency documented — No built-in retry machinery was found; transient failures are not retried. Investigated: sdk 0%.
- [fail] Runnable collection with test scripts — No public Postman workspace discovered for the org. Investigated: platform 0%.
- [skip] Rate-limit signaling — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Pagination documented & consistent — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

## Executive Summary

Column's API discovery and findability are strong, but the partner program has critical gaps in onboarding, documentation quality, and operational trust that will stall integration before it begins. Partners currently have no self-service portal, no quickstart, and no code samples — meaning every new integration requires manual hand-holding rather than scaling through self-serve. Prioritize building a frictionless onboarding surface with executable examples and complete descriptions first, then layer in security hygiene and agent-readiness to make Column's APIs safe and accessible for both human developers and AI-powered integrations.
