## Components

### Content Discoverability

- **Score:** 71/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 1 failed, 1 warning, and 2 skipped across 6 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Agents need a clear entry point and crawl map before they can reliably discover the right pages.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **LLMS TXT Exists** — llms.txt found at 1 location(s)
- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Valid** — llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't fully follow the proposed structure: https://docs.bem.ai/llms.txt: No blockquote summary found, No heading-delimited sections found Your llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't follow the standard structure. Add an H1 title as the first line and a blockquote summary (lines starting with >) to improve agent parsing.
- ✅ **LLMS TXT Size** — llms.txt is 22,453 characters (under 50,000 threshold)
- ⏭️ **LLMS TXT Links Resolve** — No HTTP(S) links found in llms.txt
- ⏭️ **LLMS TXT Links Markdown** — No HTTP(S) links found in llms.txt
- ❌ **LLMS TXT Directive** — No llms.txt directive found in any of 15 sampled pages No agent-facing directive pointing to llms.txt was detected on any tested page. Add a blockquote near the top of each page (e.g., "> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt)"). This can be visually hidden with CSS while remaining accessible to agents.

### Markdown Availability

- **Score:** 36/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 1 failed across 2 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** When markdown is available directly, agents spend less effort stripping presentation markup and guessing structure.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ❌ **Markdown Url Support** — No sampled pages support .md URLs (0/15 tested) Your pages don't return markdown when .md is appended to the URL. Configure your docs platform to serve .md variants for all documentation pages.
- ✅ **Content Negotiation** — 15/15 sampled pages support content negotiation (100%)

### Page Size and Truncation Risk

- **Score:** 73/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 2 failed across 4 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Large pages and delayed primary content increase truncation risk and make retrieval less reliable.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Rendering Strategy** — All 15 sampled pages contain server-rendered content
- ✅ **Page Size Markdown** — All 15 pages under 50K chars (median 630, max 10K)
- ❌ **Page Size Html** — 15 of 15 sampled pages convert to over 100K chars (max 579K, 16% boilerplate) 15 of 15 pages convert to over 100K characters of markdown. Reduce inline CSS/JS, break large pages, or provide markdown versions as a smaller alternative.
- ❌ **Content Start Position** — 2 of 15 sampled pages have content starting past 50% (worst 100%) 2 of 15 pages have content starting past 50% of the converted output. Agents may never see the documentation content. Move or remove inline CSS/JS that precedes the content area.

### Content Structure

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** partial
- **Summary:** 1 skipped across 3 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Predictable sections, valid code fences, and serialized tabs make the content easier for agents to parse correctly.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Tabbed Content Serialization** — 10 tab group(s) across 10 of 15 sampled pages; all serialize under 50K chars
- ⏭️ **Section Header Quality** — 10 page(s) with tabs found, but no section headers inside tab panels to evaluate
- ✅ **Markdown Code Fence Validity** — All 3 code fences properly closed across 16 pages

### URL Stability and Redirects

- **Score:** 36/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 1 failed across 2 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Stable URLs and sane redirect behavior prevent retrieval drift and broken tool references.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ❌ **Http Status Codes** — 15 of 15 sampled pages return 200 for non-existent URLs (soft 404) Your site returns 200 for non-existent pages (soft 404). Agents try to extract information from the error page content instead of recognizing the page is missing. Configure your server to return 404 for pages that don't exist.
- ✅ **Redirect Behavior** — No redirects detected across 15 sampled pages

### Observability and Content Health

- **Score:** 69/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 1 failed and 1 skipped across 3 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Coverage, parity, and cache behavior determine whether agents can trust the content they retrieve.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ⏭️ **LLMS TXT Freshness** — No sitemap found; cannot assess llms.txt freshness without a sitemap as ground truth
- ❌ **Markdown Content Parity** — 7 of 15 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 31% missing) 7 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 31% missing). Agents receiving the markdown version are getting outdated or incomplete content. Regenerate markdown from source or fix the build pipeline.
- ✅ **Cache Header Hygiene** — All 16 endpoints have appropriate cache headers

### Authentication and Access

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** partial
- **Summary:** 1 skipped across 2 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Agents need either public access or a clear alternative path when documentation is gated behind auth.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Auth Gate Detection** — All 15 sampled pages are publicly accessible
- ⏭️ **Auth Alternative Access** — All docs pages are publicly accessible; no alternative access paths needed

### Full Content Discoverability

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** llms-full.txt passes all checks.
- **Rationale:** A full-document snapshot gives long-context agents a single canonical corpus to ingest without repeated crawling.
- **Reference:** [llms-full.txt guide](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/llmstxt#llms-full-txt)

**Checks**

- ✅ **LLMS Full Exists** — Found llms-full.txt.
- ✅ **LLMS Full Size** — llms-full.txt size is within the expected range.
- ✅ **LLMS Full Valid** — llms-full.txt has a recognizable markdown structure.
- ✅ **LLMS Full Links Resolve** — llms-full.txt links resolve successfully.

### Agent Skills

- **Score:** 0/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** skill.md has 1 failing check.
- **Rationale:** Agent skills provide product-specific operating guidance that plain documentation pages do not encode on their own.
- **Reference:** [skill.md guide](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/skillmd)

**Checks**

- ❌ **Skill MD** — No agent skill definition was discovered.

### MCP Server

- **Score:** 0/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** MCP has 1 failing check.
- **Rationale:** A discoverable MCP server lets agents use first-class tools instead of scraping pages and inferring behavior.
- **Reference:** [MCP guide](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/model-context-protocol)

**Checks**

- ❌ **MCP Server Discoverable** — No MCP server was discovered at the expected endpoints.
- ⏭️ **MCP Tool Count** — Skipped because the MCP server was not discoverable.
