## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 165/165 (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 — 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 1 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Quickstart present — Quickstart page reachable (22 variants scanned starting at https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do) but no runnable code sample detected in HTML or .md variant. Investigated: docs 50%.
- [warn] Description completeness — 131/151 operations lack a description. Investigated: sdk 13%.
- [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] Code samples in docs — No detectable code samples across 1 sampled docs pages. Investigated: docs 0%.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/servicenow_github_io_sdk, 8684 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, cli 100%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — 1 of 1 pages return 200 for non-existent URLs (soft 404). Investigated: docs 50%.
- [pass] Crawlable / AEO — Docs paths crawlable by all monitored AI agents. Investigated: wellknown 100%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — No llms.txt found at any candidate location (https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/llms.txt, https://developer.servicenow.com/llms.txt, https://developer.servicenow.com/docs/llms.txt). Investigated: docs 33%, sdk 0%.

### Agent Understanding

- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — No pages support .md URLs (0/0 tested). Investigated: docs 71%.
- [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 sampled pages — likely a CSR-only docs site. 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

- [pass] Sandbox separation — Sandbox environments are exposed (sandbox). Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [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

ServiceNow's API program shows genuine strength in agent discovery and docs reachability, but partners and their AI agents face two critical blockers: the documentation experience is missing the self-service portal and code samples partners expect before they'll invest in integration, and the agent-facing context layer — structured data, an AGENTS.md file, and idempotency guidance — is largely absent. Closing these gaps should be the immediate priority, as they directly determine whether partners and the AI coding tools they rely on can onboard independently and build reliable integrations without escalating to your team.
