## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 558/559 (100%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer reports not all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [pass] Example coverage — Code samples in 8 language(s) across docs (top: typescript, python, shell); 8/20 pages have ≥ 2 languages on the same page. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%.
- [warn] Security & governance hygiene — security.txt present but missing or expired Expires. Investigated: wellknown 50%.
- [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] Code samples in docs — Code samples in 8 language(s) across docs (top: typescript, python, shell); 8/20 pages have ≥ 2 languages on the same page. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 0 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Quickstart present — Quickstart page reachable (10 variants scanned starting at https://docs.livekit.io/quickstart/) but no runnable code sample detected in HTML or .md variant. Investigated: docs 50%.
- [warn] Description completeness — 91/290 operations lack a description. Investigated: sdk 69%.
- [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%.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/livekit_io, 30224 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, cli 100%, sdk 92%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt directive found in HTML of any of 50 sampled pages. Investigated: docs 75%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — 50 of 50 sampled pages return 200 for non-existent URLs (soft 404). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (640 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — Single base error "LivekitError" with 44 subclasses. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — 2 of 49 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 4% missing). Investigated: docs 78%.
- [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%.
- [skip] Operation purpose clarity — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Description consistency across surfaces — Only 1 surface description(s) with ≥6 tokens available; need at least 2 to compare.

### Agent Usability

- [pass] Idempotency documented — Built-in retry machinery is present (grep-derived). Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [pass] Sandbox separation — Sandbox environments are exposed (sandbox). Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [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

LiveKit's API program shows genuine strengths in API design, agent discovery, and crawlability — partners and agents can find and read the surface without friction. The two areas that most threaten partner activation are agent understanding and developer experience: there is no structured context layer for AI coding agents to act on, and the absence of a self-service portal means partners must negotiate access before writing a single line of code. Closing these gaps is the fastest path to shortening partner activation time and making LiveKit's APIs genuinely agent-ready.
