## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Machine-readable, versioned contract — API versioning documented in the docs site at https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/applications/salesforce/troubleshooting/api-version. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — .d.ts present on disk but not declared in package.json. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 83%.
- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — Authentication required (global or on every operation). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Security & governance hygiene — No credential-shaped strings detected in spec. Investigated: spec 100%, wellknown 0%.
- [pass] Example coverage — 75% example coverage (target 80%+). Investigated: spec 100%, sdk 50%, docs 0%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Self-service developer portal — Signup page at https://fivetran.com/signup (CSR-rendered — body classifier inconclusive); free tier / sandbox documented in pricing/docs. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 72% description completeness (target 90%+). Investigated: spec 100%.
- [pass] Changelog published — changelog documented in the docs site at https://fivetran.com/docs/changelog. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 100%.
- [warn] Quickstart present — Quickstart page reachable (1 variants scanned starting at https://fivetran.com/docs/getting-started) 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] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/fivetran, 72243 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 50%, cli 0%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/50 sampled pages return markdown). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt directive found in HTML of any of 50 sampled pages. Investigated: docs 63%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (2 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — 8 distinct 4xx/5xx response codes documented. Investigated: docs 100%, spec 50%.
- [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 — 6 of 50 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 15% missing). Investigated: docs 60%.
- [warn] Description consistency across surfaces — Mean pairwise description similarity across 3 surfaces (spec, docs, sdk) is 1% (threshold 35% for full credit).
- [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 3 assessed pages (3 JS-rendered). Investigated: docs 0%.

### Agent Usability

- [pass] Rate-limit signaling — rate-limit behavior documented in the docs site at https://fivetran.com/docs/core-concepts/deployment-models/hybrid-deployment/troubleshooting/bandwidth-limitations. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Sandbox separation — sandbox documented in the docs site at https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/applications/salesforce/troubleshooting/sandbox-issue. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 100%.
- [fail] Idempotency documented — 0% of mutating operations document idempotency. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%, sdk 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

Fivetran's API program shows real strength in agent discoverability — documentation is reachable, crawlable, and broadly findable without friction. The most urgent gaps are in agent understanding and agent usability: AI agents and coding tools lack the machine-readable context files, structured documentation signals, and runnable examples they need to integrate correctly without guessing. Prioritize publishing agent instruction context, structured doc metadata, and executable collections with test coverage first — these are the changes that will let partners and their agents go from evaluation to working integration without support intervention.
