## Check Results

### API Design

- [warn] Schema coverage & depth — 8/14 (57%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer reports not all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 76%.
- [pass] Example coverage — README is present and includes a runnable quickstart. Investigated: sdk 100%, docs 0%.
- [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

- [pass] Description completeness — 6/6 operations carry a description. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [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 20 sampled docs pages. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [skip] Changelog published — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/developer_doordash, 1250 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, cli 0%, mcp 0%, wellknown 0%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/50 sampled pages return markdown). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (403 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%.
- [fail] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt found at any candidate location (https://developer.doordash.com/en-US/llms.txt, https://developer.doordash.com/llms.txt, https://developer.doordash.com/docs/llms.txt). Investigated: docs 0%, sdk 0%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — Single base error "DoorDashError" with 24 subclasses. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — No sampled pages support .md URLs (0/50 tested). Investigated: docs 33%.
- [warn] Docs structured data — JSON-LD on 1/4 assessed pages, but coverage is sparse or dateModified is missing. Investigated: docs 50%.
- [warn] Description consistency across surfaces — Mean pairwise description similarity across 2 surfaces (docs, sdk) is 6% (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

DoorDash's API program shows strength in structured data and crawlability, but two areas are holding back partner success: developer onboarding is entirely self-service-free — no portal, no quickstart, no code samples — meaning partners face friction before writing a single line of integration code. Simultaneously, AI agents cannot discover, understand, or reliably execute against the APIs due to missing machine-readable discovery files, no agent instructions, and undocumented idempotency guarantees. Prioritize unblocking human onboarding first, then close the agent-readiness gaps to ensure both partners and their AI-assisted tooling can reach production confidently.
