## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 1/1 (100%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer confirms all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 67%.
- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — authentication documented in the docs site at https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/capabilities/security/advanced/tenant_token_payload. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [warn] Machine-readable, versioned contract — info.version="1.49.0" 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 100%.
- [pass] Example coverage — 91% example coverage across params + responses. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 100%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Self-service developer portal — Signup page at https://cloud.meilisearch.com/register (CSR-rendered — body classifier inconclusive); free tier / sandbox documented in pricing/docs. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Code samples in docs — Code samples present on 2/20 pages across 2 language(s); broader multi-language coverage missing. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 90% of operations + parameters have substantive descriptions. Investigated: spec 100%, sdk 96%.
- [pass] Changelog published — changelog documented in the docs site at https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/changelog/changelog. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 100%.
- [warn] Quickstart present — Quickstart page reachable (1 variants scanned starting at https://cloud.meilisearch.com/register) but no runnable code sample detected in HTML or .md variant. Investigated: docs 50%.

### 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 (meilisearch/documentation, 4390 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://www.meilisearch.com/docs/llms.txt: No blockquote summary found. Investigated: docs 83%, 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) — 4 distinct 4xx/5xx response codes documented. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, spec 50%.
- [pass] Operation purpose clarity — 97% 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] Docs structured data — JSON-LD Article markup on 18/18 assessed pages (100%) with dateModified present. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [fail] Agent instructions file (AGENTS.md) — No AGENTS.md at the site root or /.well-known/. Investigated: wellknown 0%.
- [skip] Description consistency across surfaces — Only 1 surface description(s) with ≥6 tokens available; need at least 2 to compare.

### Agent Usability

- [pass] Rate-limit signaling — rate-limit behavior documented in the docs site at https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/capabilities/conversational_search/how_to/handle_errors_and_fallbacks. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Pagination documented & consistent — Pagination params detected on 17 list endpoint(s). Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%.
- [pass] Sandbox separation — Sandbox environments are exposed (sandbox). Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [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%.

## Executive Summary

Meilisearch's API program is strong across design, discovery, and onboarding — partners can find and evaluate the API with minimal friction. The two areas that most limit partner and agent success are agent-readiness context and runnable workflow coverage: there is no structured instruction file to orient AI coding agents, and the absence of a runnable, test-backed collection means agents must guess at real request shapes, error cases, and multi-step flows. Closing these two gaps should be the immediate priority to ensure partners and their AI-assisted integrations can go from evaluation to production without manual hand-holding.
