How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

Public pages; interfaces when present

Clear entry points help agents find the intended site or interface. Multiple hostnames or directory formats may describe the same destination.

sitemap.xml

3/3 ptsCross-verified
What we found

https://www.salesforce.com/sitemap.xml is a dated sitemap whose URLs include docs/pricing/api surfaces.

How this affects the score

Permissions & policy

3/3 ptsWhat access does the publisher permit? · 1 conclusive · 0 additional

Clear and consistent publisher policy

robots.txt

3/3 ptsCross-verified
What we found

robots.txt at https://salesforce.com/robots.txt declares a sitemap. Declared sitemap https://www.salesforce.com/sitemap.xml resolves as valid XML.

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

Published policy for the relevant use: indexing, training or user retrieval

Different policy syntaxes and business permissions are not independent readiness capabilities. Blocking training should not imply that an agent cannot use a public API.

Evidence basis

These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Documentation & meaning

1.8/11 ptsCan agents understand the documentation? · 3 conclusive · 0 additional

Usable API reference and examples

API reference depth

0/5 ptsNot detected
What we found

API reference documentation lacks depth or was not found.

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

A documented API or tool interface

Reference depth and valid fenced examples contribute to the same documentation outcome. Parsing an example is weaker than executing it successfully.

Evidence basis

These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Recorded evidence

Usable documentation entry and references

llms.txt

1.8/5 ptsParseable
What we found

A valid llms.txt header exists at https://developer.salesforce.com/llms.txt, but it lists few or no link sections (1 links, 1 sections).

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

Public documentation; llms files optional

An index, full text and modular files offer different routes to documentation. Useful content and working references matter more than the number of formats.

Evidence basis

These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Recorded evidence

Machine-readable facts

Machine-readable pricing

0/1 ptsNot detected
What we found

No machine-readable pricing endpoint found (HTML pricing pages do not qualify).

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

Facts relevant to the product; pricing only when there is a price to disclose

Structured facts can help agents interpret a page. Markup volume and the number of schema types alone do not establish accuracy, consistency or task success. This check has no external governing spec; its weight is product judgment.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Recorded evidence

Interfaces & data

1.8/32 ptsWhich interfaces can agents use? · 6 conclusive · 1 additional

Complete and usable operation contracts

Structured data I/O

0/8 ptsNot detected
What we found

No published structured-data contract found (no typed spec response schemas).

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

Detected interface; pagination only for collections, async only for long-running jobs, batch only for multi-item operations

Usable schemas and operation patterns can reduce ambiguity for clients. More endpoints or constraints alone do not establish that an operation is easier to use.

Evidence basis

These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Recorded evidence

Data export API

0/4 ptsNot detected
What we found

No data export or bulk API documentation found at the standard docs locations an agent would check.

How this affects the score

Usable supported interface

API existence

0/5 ptsNot detected
What we found

No API endpoint found at common paths (only HTML pages or 404s).

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

Interface-enabled product; no requirement to implement every protocol

REST, GraphQL, MCP, SDKs and CLIs offer alternative or complementary access paths. The useful choice depends on the task and client; no single format serves every workflow.

Evidence basis

These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Recorded evidence

OpenAPI specification

MCP discovery evidence

MCP descriptor (legacy)

0/5 ptsNot detected
What we found

No MCP server found at the standard locations an agent would check.

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters

MCP surface

An MCP descriptor helps clients locate a service. This additional observation does not earn separate points for evidence already represented by the scored MCP check.

Evidence basis

These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

Recorded evidence

Payment capabilities

Machine payments (x402/MPP)

UnscoredNot observed
What we found

No HTTP 402 response or machine payment protocol headers detected.

Why this is unscored

Useful context, outside the readiness score. Adoption, payment support and retrieval cost are not readiness quality by themselves.

When this matters

Payment-enabled business model

Payment support describes what the business offers. It must not make a research publication or free public service appear less ready.

Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.

How this affects the score

These are recorded points before the total is normalized to 100.

When this matters
