HonestClaw · What is Agent Readiness? · How we score
Limited. Agents will struggle to discover or use this site without human help.
HonestClaw measured how well instacart.com's site and APIs work for AI agents — across 9 dimensions and 45 automated checks. Score: 26/100 (Limited).
Scanned · scanner v1.63.1 · 45 of 45 checks conclusive.
All 8 scored areas have measured gaps. Authentication & credentials is furthest along; Interfaces & data has the largest measured point gap.
75 additional observations provide context and do not affect the score.
Reachable entry points

Attributable identity and consistent claims
Could not conclusively check for security.txt (unreachable or behind auth). Blocked by robots.txt for a generic compliant agent (Disallow: /).
These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.
Public company/service identity; MCP identity only for MCP
These establish provenance, disclosure routes and consistency. They cannot certify prompt-injection resistance or safe transactions.

The server identifies itself as InstacartRecipeServer 1.0.0. Summary: weakest conclusive server; 1/1 declared endpoint(s) produced evidence, and every endpoint is reported separately. Live MCP probe: 4724 ms, 5 protocol request(s).
Additional evidence for this capability. It earns no separate points, so observing another related signal does not count twice.

Application isolation declarations
No adoption signal was detected, but endpoint discovery was incomplete or at least one declared MCP endpoint lacked readable list metadata, so site-level absence is unmeasurable. This metadata-only check did not call tools or read app resources.
An emerging convention, not a universal requirement. It adds no points and its absence subtracts none. Adoption and reliable testing must justify any future weight.
Detected MCP application UI
Declared origins and CSP are relevant safeguards for an embedded UI, but declarations alone do not establish effective isolation.
