## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — Authentication required (global or on every operation). Investigated: docs 100%, spec 50%.
- [warn] Schema coverage & depth — 141/142 (99%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer reports not all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 83%.
- [warn] Machine-readable, versioned contract — info.version="v2" set but no versioning scheme (URL / header / media type) detected. Investigated: spec 88%, docs 75%.
- [pass] Security & governance hygiene — No credential-shaped strings detected in spec. Investigated: spec 100%, wellknown 100%.
- [pass] Example coverage — README is present and includes a runnable quickstart. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Self-service developer portal — Self-service signup at https://www.firecrawl.dev/signin; free tier / sandbox documented. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 63% description completeness (target 90%+). Investigated: spec 100%, sdk 97%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 0 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [warn] Quickstart present — Quickstart page reachable (1 variants scanned starting at https://docs.firecrawl.dev/quickstart) but no runnable code sample detected in HTML or .md variant. Investigated: docs 50%.
- [fail] Code samples in docs — No detectable code samples across 20 sampled docs pages. Investigated: docs 0%.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — All 1 pages are publicly accessible. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (firecrawl/firecrawl-docs, 4302 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, cli 100%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't fully follow the proposed structure: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/llms.txt: No blockquote summary found. Investigated: docs 90%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Crawlable / AEO — Docs paths crawlable by all monitored AI agents. Investigated: wellknown 100%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — 13 distinct 4xx/5xx response codes documented. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, spec 50%.
- [pass] Operation purpose clarity — 100% of operations have a clear summary + operationId an agent can select on. Investigated: spec 100%.
- [pass] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — All 1 pages contain server-rendered content. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Agent instructions file (AGENTS.md) — Agent instructions file found at https://firecrawl.dev/AGENTS.md. Investigated: wellknown 100%.
- [pass] Docs structured data — JSON-LD Article markup on 20/20 assessed pages (100%) with dateModified present. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [warn] Description consistency across surfaces — Mean pairwise description similarity across 2 surfaces (spec, docs) is 5% (threshold 35% for full credit).

### Agent Usability

- [pass] Idempotency documented — Built-in retry machinery is present (grep-derived). Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [pass] Rate-limit signaling — rate-limit behavior documented in the docs site at https://docs.firecrawl.dev/rate-limits. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Pagination documented & consistent — Pagination params detected on 8 list endpoint(s). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Sandbox separation — Sandbox environments are exposed (sandbox). Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Runnable collection with test scripts — No public Postman workspace discovered for the org. Investigated: platform 0%.

## Executive Summary

Firecrawl's API program shows real strengths in contract quality, schema design, and documentation discovery — partners and agents can find and read the API surface with confidence. The two areas that need immediate attention are runnable context for agents and code-sample coverage in onboarding docs: without executable examples and test scripts, AI coding agents are forced to guess at request shapes and edge cases, slowing partner integrations and increasing support burden. Prioritize giving agents a verified, runnable source of truth first, then close the code-sample gap so human developers reach their first successful call in minutes.
