## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Machine-readable, versioned contract — Versioning declared (info.version="1.0.0") and url-versioning detected. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.

- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — authentication documented in the docs site at https://docs.convex.dev/auth/overview. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Security & governance hygiene — No credential-shaped strings detected in spec. Investigated: spec 100%, wellknown 0%.
- [pass] Example coverage — Code samples in 7 language(s) across docs (top: typescript, javascript, shell); 7/20 pages have ≥ 2 languages on the same page. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, spec 0%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Self-service developer portal — Self-service signup at https://www.convex.dev/signup; no free tier or sandbox language detected. Investigated: docs 100%.

- [pass] Code samples in docs — Code samples in 7 language(s) across docs (top: typescript, javascript, shell); 7/20 pages have ≥ 2 languages on the same page. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 83% description completeness (target 90%+). Investigated: spec 100%, sdk 94%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 0 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, 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/convex_dev, 1425 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, cli 100%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt directive found in HTML of any of 50 sampled pages. Investigated: docs 86%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (392 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — Only 1 distinct 4xx/5xx codes documented (plus 0 "default" catch-all responses). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Operation purpose clarity — 100% of operations have a clear summary + operationId an agent can select on. Investigated: spec 100%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — 3 of 40 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 2% missing). Investigated: docs 78%.
- [warn] Description consistency across surfaces — Mean pairwise description similarity across 2 surfaces (spec, docs) is 3% (threshold 35% for full credit).

- [fail] Runnable collection with test scripts — No public Postman workspace discovered for the org. Investigated: platform 0%.

## Executive Summary

Convex's agent discovery posture is strong — partners and agents can find your APIs without friction. However, two areas need urgent attention to keep partners productive: agents and coding assistants lack the structured context files and machine-readable docs they need to generate correct integrations, and there is no runnable, test-backed collection to anchor partner workflows in reality. Prioritize closing the agent-context and structured-data gaps first, then add a runnable collection with validated examples and proper rate-limit signaling to make the partner program reliably self-serve.
