## Executive Summary

Nordstrom's external API program has meaningful structural gaps that will slow or block partner onboarding and AI agent integration. The strongest area is API design fundamentals, but security governance hygiene remains incomplete — a baseline trust requirement for any partner program. The most urgent priorities are making the API surface discoverable and executable for both human partners and AI agents: today, there is no machine-readable discovery layer, no runnable collection, and no agent context file, meaning partners and their coding agents have no reliable, self-serve path to a first successful call.
