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 vmware.com's site and APIs work for AI agents — across 9 dimensions and 45 automated checks. Score: 11/100 (Limited).
Scanned · scanner v1.48.0 · 42 of 45 checks conclusive.
All 8 scored areas have measured gaps. Identity & safeguards is furthest along; Interfaces & data has the largest measured point gap.
59 additional observations provide context and do not affect the score.

Reachable critical content
The raw homepage was unreachable, truncated, non-HTML, or a JavaScript shell; static crawl depth is inconclusive.
Measured, but not yet weighted. It adds no points and its absence subtracts none. Scoring requires calibration of reliability, applicability and overlap with existing checks.
Sites with linked public content
Bounded path traversal can explain missing content. Absolute clicks from the homepage is not a validated universal quality scale.
Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.
Retrieval cost
A manageable sitemap (4 page URLs) helps agents estimate crawl cost.
Useful context, outside the readiness score. Adoption, payment support and retrieval cost are not readiness quality by themselves.
Measured retrieval path
Tokens, bytes and elapsed time explain retrieval cost and tradeoffs. They are context and do not affect the readiness score.
Current guidance · 2026-10-15. Recorded scores are unchanged.
Observed client access
All 5 agent crawler probes passed. ChatGPT-User=200, ClaudeBot=200, Google-Extended=200, PerplexityBot=200, DeepSeekBot=200
Additional observation. It adds no points and its absence does not lower the score.
Up to three first-party pages; ChatGPT-User, Claude-User and Perplexity-User token markers on an explicitly identified HonestClaw client

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 application UI surface
An embedded interface can support interactive workflows. Many tools work without a user interface, so its absence is not a general readiness failure.
These sources inform the check. They do not validate our exact point weights.

MCP authorization evidence
No first-party HTTPS MCP endpoint was declared, so live authentication mechanism was not detected. Live MCP probe: 2 ms, 0 protocol request(s).
Measured, but not yet weighted. It adds no points and its absence subtracts none. Scoring requires calibration of reliability, applicability and overlap with existing checks.
