## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — .d.ts present on disk but not declared in package.json. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [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] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 8 day(s) ago. 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 2 sampled docs pages. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [skip] Description completeness — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (hashicorp/raft, 721 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 67%, cli 50%.
- [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 (2 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.hashicorp.com/sentinel/llms.txt, https://developer.hashicorp.com/llms.txt, https://developer.hashicorp.com/docs/llms.txt). Investigated: docs 0%, sdk 0%.

### Agent Understanding

- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — No sampled pages support .md URLs (0/50 tested). Investigated: docs 64%.
- [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 1 assessed pages (1 JS-rendered). Investigated: docs 0%.
- [skip] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Operation purpose clarity — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Description consistency across surfaces — Only 0 surface description(s) with ≥6 tokens available; need at least 2 to compare.

### 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

HashiCorp's API program shows strength in core API design fundamentals, but two areas are creating real friction for partners and their AI agents: onboarding is almost entirely manual (no self-service portal, no quickstarts, no code samples), and agent-readiness infrastructure is missing end-to-end — from discovery files to runnable collections to structured documentation. Prioritizing a self-service developer portal with built-in agent discovery infrastructure will unblock both human partners and AI-driven integrations simultaneously, while adding runnable collections and idempotency documentation will make HashiCorp's APIs trustworthy enough for automated, production-grade workflows.
