What to fix first

5 checks lose points. They are ranked by the points a fix would add back.

  1. 1

    Serve a Markdown version of each page, at a .md address or for an Accept: text/markdown request, with the same heading and content as the HTML page.

  2. 2

    Publish an llms.txt index under 50,000 characters whose links point to Markdown pages.

  3. 3

    Add agent discovery signals such as Content Signals, an agent skills index, or an MCP server card.

  4. 4

    Publish an OpenAPI description at a discoverable address when the product has an API.

  5. 5

    Declare a valid XML sitemap in robots.txt.

Every check, with evidence

Each check shows what the audit found and the points it earned. Evidence links open the exact URL the audit requested.

Content delivery · 35/50

Content in server HTML

15/15 PASS

Agents and crawlers that fetch a page without a browser read only the HTML response. This check looks for the page’s main content in that response.

Found: The server HTML has 6,167 characters of main content; 250 are required.

Markdown mirror

0/15 FAIL

Markdown is the cheapest format for an agent to read. This check looks for a Markdown version of this page and confirms that it is the same page.

Found: status-404. No Markdown version of this page; links in llms.txt return Markdown.

  • Markdown version of this page (0/10, missing)
  • Markdown matches the page (0/5, missing)

Evidence: https://docs.recall.ai/index.md (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 404

Page fits one agent fetch

10/10 PASS

Agent tools commonly cut off long responses. This check measures the text an agent receives from this page.

Found: The main content of the server HTML has 6,167 characters.

AI crawler access

10/10 PASS

AI search and user-triggered fetch agents read docs when a person asks a question. This check reads robots.txt rules for those agents.

Found: 0 of 11 AI search and user-triggered fetch agents are blocked in robots.txt.

Discovery · 19/25

llms.txt

11/15 PARTIAL

llms.txt is an index that points agents to the documentation. This check validates it, measures it, and samples its links.

Found: 6 sections, 79 links; 50,553 characters; sampled links return Markdown

  • Valid llms.txt index (7/7)
  • llms.txt under 50,000 characters (0/4, missing)
  • llms.txt links return Markdown (4/4)

Evidence: https://docs.recall.ai/llms.txt (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 200

Sitemap and robots.txt

3/5 PARTIAL

A sitemap lists every page, so crawlers do not depend on navigation to find them.

  • robots.txt present (1/1)
  • Sitemap declared (2/2)
  • Sitemap valid XML (0/2, missing)

Page metadata

5/5 PASS

Structured page metadata in the server HTML helps machines identify the page and its preferred address.

  • Canonical link (1.25/1.25)
  • Meta description (1.25/1.25)
  • Open Graph (1.25/1.25)

Agent capabilities · 19/25

Found: present, auth required: Bearer realm="mcp"

Evidence: https://docs.recall.ai/mcp (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 401

API description

2/5 PARTIAL

A machine-readable API description lets coding agents build API calls without guessing from prose.

  • OpenAPI document (0/3, missing)

Agent interoperability signals

2/5 PARTIAL

Emerging standards that help agents discover and use a site.

Extra credit · 1/2

Extra credit can restore lost points. It cannot raise the score above 100.

llms-full.txt

0/1 FAIL

Found: status-429

Evidence: https://docs.recall.ai/llms-full.txt (opens in a new tab) · HTTP 429

Found: Inkeep
