## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 1/1 enums are named types (not bare strings). Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 50%.
- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — Authentication required (global or on every operation). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [warn] Machine-readable, versioned contract — info.version="1.0" set but no versioning scheme (URL / header / media type) detected. Investigated: spec 75%, docs 50%.
- [pass] Security & governance hygiene — No credential-shaped strings detected in spec. Investigated: spec 100%, wellknown 0%.
- [pass] Example coverage — Code samples present on 1/2 pages across 1 language(s); broader multi-language coverage missing. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, spec 0%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Code samples in docs — Code samples present on 1/2 pages across 1 language(s); broader multi-language coverage missing. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 92% of operations + parameters have substantive descriptions. Investigated: spec 100%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 0 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [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%.

### 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/knock_app, 9939 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, cli 100%, sdk 50%, mcp 0%, wellknown 0%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt directive found in HTML of any of 50 sampled pages. Investigated: docs 67%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Crawlable / AEO — Docs paths crawlable by all monitored AI agents. Investigated: wellknown 100%.

### Agent Understanding

- [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 — 32 of 50 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 54% missing). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [fail] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — No 4xx/5xx response codes (or default error response) documented anywhere in the spec. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [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] 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%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Idempotency documented — 0% of mutating operations document idempotency. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%, sdk 0%.
- [fail] Rate-limit signaling — No rate-limit response headers documented. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 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

Knock's API design and discoverability are strong, giving partners a solid foundation to find and evaluate the platform. However, the program has critical gaps in agent-readiness and partner self-service: errors are not machine-readable, there are no agent instruction files or structured docs, idempotency and rate-limit behaviors are undocumented, and there is no runnable collection for partners to execute real workflows. Fixing these gaps — starting with agent understanding and operational reliability, then closing the onboarding self-service gap — will allow partners and their AI agents to integrate confidently without hand-holding or guesswork.
