## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 218/218 (100%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer confirms all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [pass] Example coverage — Code samples in 3 language(s) across docs (top: http, java, kotlin); 1/14 pages have ≥ 2 languages on the same page. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%.
- [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] Self-service developer portal — Signup page at https://signup.realize.com/join; no free-tier language detected in docs/pricing. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Code samples in docs — Code samples in 3 language(s) across docs (top: http, java, kotlin); 1/14 pages have ≥ 2 languages on the same page. Investigated: docs 100%.
- [pass] Changelog published — Newest official SDK activity 2 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [fail] Quickstart present — No quickstart/getting-started page found at the conventional paths. Investigated: docs 0%.
- [fail] Description completeness — 93/93 operations lack a description. Investigated: sdk 0%.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (websites/developers_taboola, 4685 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 67%, cli 0%.
- [warn] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — 49/50 same-origin sampled links resolve (98%); 1 broken; 1 failed to fetch. Investigated: docs 86%, sdk 0%.
- [warn] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — 50 JavaScript redirect(s) detected across 50 sampled pages. Investigated: docs 50%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — No sitemap discoverable via robots.txt or /sitemap.xml on the docs host. Investigated: wellknown 50%.

### Agent Understanding

- [pass] Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457) — Single base error "BackstageAPIException" with 4 subclasses. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — 4 of 50 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 4% missing). Investigated: docs 75%.
- [pass] Docs structured data — JSON-LD Article markup on 14/14 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] 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

- [warn] Sandbox separation — No test-mode flag or sandbox environment is exposed. Investigated: sdk 50%.
- [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

Taboola's API program shows strength in agent discoverability and documentation structure, but two areas demand immediate attention: agent usability is critically weak — partners and their AI agents lack runnable examples, idempotency guidance, and the operational confidence to build reliable integrations — and developer experience is undermined by thin descriptions and a missing quickstart that slow partners down before they write a single line of code. Prioritize making the API executable and trustworthy first, then close the documentation and security gaps that erode partner confidence at the evaluation stage.
