## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 13/13 (100%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer confirms all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%, spec 61%.
- [pass] Auth declared & discoverable — Authentication required (global or on every operation). Investigated: docs 100%, spec 50%, wellknown 0%.
- [warn] Machine-readable, versioned contract — info.version="0.0.1" 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 — 78% example coverage (target 80%+). Investigated: spec 100%, sdk 50%, docs 0%.

### Developer Experience

- [pass] Self-service developer portal — Signup page at https://www.snowflake.com/en/pricing-options/; no free-tier language detected in docs/pricing. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Description completeness — 86% description completeness (target 90%+). Investigated: spec 100%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Changelog published — changelog documented in the docs site at https://docs.snowflake.com/en/release-notes/new-features. Investigated: spec 100%, docs 100%, sdk 100%.
- [fail] Quickstart present — No quickstart/getting-started page found at the conventional paths. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [fail] Code samples in docs — No detectable code samples across 19 sampled docs pages. 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/snowflake_en, 134297 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 88%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (1745 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — 12 distinct 4xx/5xx response codes documented. Investigated: docs 100%, spec 50%.
- [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 — 10 of 50 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 13% missing). Investigated: docs 67%.
- [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 19 sampled pages — likely a CSR-only docs site. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [skip] Description consistency across surfaces — Only 1 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] Pagination documented & consistent — 2 list endpoint(s) exist but no pagination params found. Investigated: spec 0%, docs 0%.
- [fail] Runnable collection with test scripts — No public Postman workspace discovered for the org. Investigated: platform 0%.

## Executive Summary

Snowflake's API program demonstrates strong foundations in API design, discovery, and crawlability — partners and agents can find and read the contract. However, the program has two critical gaps that block partners from successfully running real workflows: operational reliability signals (idempotency, rate-limiting, pagination) are undocumented, and there is no runnable, testable collection for partners or agents to build against. Closing these gaps, alongside adding agent-native context files and enriching onboarding with quickstarts and code samples, will materially accelerate partner integration and enable AI agents to operate reliably against Snowflake APIs.
