## Check Results

### API Design

- [pass] Schema coverage & depth — 7/7 (100%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer confirms all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [pass] Example coverage — README is present and includes a runnable quickstart. Investigated: 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

- [warn] Description completeness — 7/9 operations lack a description. Investigated: sdk 22%.
- [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%.
- [skip] Quickstart present — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Code samples in docs — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Changelog published — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Agent Discovery

- [pass] llms.txt present, valid & comprehensive — llms-full.txt reachable at https://upstash.com/llms-full.txt. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 0%.
- [pass] Registry & SDK presence — Indexed on Context7 (upstash/docs, 6885 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%, cli 100%.
- [warn] Crawlable / AEO — Sitemap present (2 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 50%.
- [skip] Docs reachable, not hard auth-gated — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.

### Agent Understanding

- [fail] Agent instructions file (AGENTS.md) — No AGENTS.md at the site root or /.well-known/. Investigated: wellknown 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] Agent-navigable, token-efficient docs — No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run.
- [skip] Docs structured data — 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

- [pass] Idempotency documented — Built-in retry machinery is present (grep-derived). Investigated: sdk 100%.
- [warn] Sandbox separation — No test-mode flag or sandbox environment is exposed. Investigated: sdk 50%.
- [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

Upstash's API program shows real strengths in agent discoverability and overall description quality, but two areas are holding back partner momentum: the absence of a self-service developer portal means partners can't evaluate or onboard without a sales conversation, and the lack of agent-specific context files means AI coding assistants cannot reliably build against Upstash APIs. Closing these two gaps — alongside adding runnable collections with test coverage and tightening security hygiene — will compress partner onboarding from weeks to minutes and make Upstash APIs first-class citizens for AI-assisted development workflows.
