What the scan covers

A Level 1 compliance check validates that your site is discoverable by AI agents and that your manifest is correctly structured per the ASM specification.

Manifest Validation

  • agents.json existence & valid JSON
  • Version, site identity, primary language
  • Capabilities block with actions
  • Navigation sections

Discovery Mechanisms

  • robots.txt existence
  • Agents: directive in robots.txt
  • Sitemap resolution (XML)
  • <link rel="agents-manifest"> tag

Policy & Governance

  • Agent traffic policy
  • Tier 2/3 access declarations
  • Rate limit configuration
  • Crawl delay settings

Six dimensions of agent readiness

The ASM Scoring Framework measures agent-readiness across six weighted dimensions. The free scan surfaces issue counts for each. A full audit provides the composite score and detailed remediation.

Content Survivability

25%

Does your content exist without JavaScript? SPAs that render blank to non-browser clients score zero.

Structural Legibility

20%

Can agents parse your page from the DOM? Semantic HTML landmarks, heading hierarchy, lang attributes.

Interactive Manifest Clarity

20%

Can agents find and invoke your CTAs? Native elements, accessible names, no onclick-div patterns.

Data Extractability

15%

Is business data structured for machines? JSON-LD, schema.org, Open Graph, semantic tables.

Navigation Traversability

10%

Can agents explore via static links? Breadcrumbs, sitemaps, no JavaScript-gated navigation.

Agent Response Fitness

10%

Does the text stream tell a coherent story? Content-to-markup ratio, meaningful alt text, clear titles.

What is ASM?

The Agent Site Manifest is an open specification for making websites machine-navigable. It answers a question that robots.txt cannot: how should AI agents interact with your site?

A single file at /.well-known/agents.json declares your site's identity, capabilities, navigation structure, and traffic governance policy. Every agent on the internet can fetch and consume it.

Most sites today are invisible to AI agents. Not blocked — invisible. They render blank without JavaScript, hide actions behind generic divs, and present data in formats only humans can parse. ASM changes that.

agents.json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "site": {
    "name": "...",
    "description": "...",
    "capabilities": {
      "actions": [...]
    },
    "navigation": {
      "sections": [...]
    },
    "agent_policy": {
      "tier2_allowed": true,
      "tier3_allowed": false
    }
  }
}
