## Components

### Content Discoverability

- **Score:** 44/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 2 failed and 3 warnings 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://hpe.com/llms.txt: No blockquote summary 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 373,410 characters (exceeds 100,000 threshold; will be truncated by most agents) Your llms.txt is 373,410 characters and will be truncated by all major agent platforms. Split into a root index linking to section-level llms.txt files, each under 50,000 characters.
- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Links Resolve** — All 15 same-origin sampled links resolve (3773 total links) (9 external links also failed; may be bot-detection or rate-limiting) 9 of 30 links in your llms.txt return errors. Audit and fix or remove broken URLs to prevent agents from hitting dead ends.
- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Links Markdown** — Same-origin links point to HTML, but 9 have .md variants available (16 external links excluded) Some links in your llms.txt point to HTML pages instead of markdown. Where possible, update links to use .md URLs so agents get clean markdown content directly.
- ❌ **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:** 0/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 2 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 (0/14 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** — Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/14 sampled pages return markdown) Your server ignores Accept: text/markdown and returns HTML. Some agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode) request markdown this way. Configure your server to honor content negotiation.

### Page Size and Truncation Risk

- **Score:** 58/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 1 failed, 1 warning, and 1 skipped 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** — Skipped: dependency check did not pass
- ❌ **Page Size Html** — 15 of 15 sampled pages convert to over 100K chars (max 220K, 40% 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** — 14 of 15 sampled pages have content starting at 10–50% (worst 35%) 14 of 15 pages have documentation content starting 10-50% into the converted output. Inline CSS or boilerplate consumes part of the agent's truncation budget before content begins.

### Content Structure

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** 3 AFDocs checks pass.
- **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** — No tabbed content detected across 15 sampled pages
- ✅ **Section Header Quality** — No tabbed content found; header quality check not applicable
- ✅ **Markdown Code Fence Validity** — All 0 code fences properly closed across 1 pages

### URL Stability and Redirects

- **Score:** 92/100 · **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** — 2 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:** 67/100 · **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** — llms.txt covers 1834/50000 sitemap doc pages (4%); 48166 missing; 1923 llms.txt links not in sitemap (may indicate stale links or incomplete sitemap) Your llms.txt covers less than 80% of your site's pages. 48166 live pages are missing from the index. Regenerate llms.txt from your sitemap or build pipeline.
- ⏭️ **Markdown Content Parity** — Skipped: dependency check did not pass
- ✅ **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:** 0/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** llms-full.txt has 1 failing check.
- **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** — No llms-full.txt file was discovered.
- ⏭️ **LLMS Full Size** — Skipped because llms-full.txt was not found.
- ⏭️ **LLMS Full Valid** — Skipped because llms-full.txt was not found.
- ⏭️ **LLMS Full Links Resolve** — Skipped because llms-full.txt was not found.

### 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.
