## Components

### Content Discoverability

- **Score:** 56/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 3 failed and 1 warning 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 2 location(s)
- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Valid** — llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't fully follow the proposed structure: https://developer.mastercard.com/consent-management/documentation/llms.txt: No H1 heading found, No blockquote summary found, No heading-delimited sections found; https://developer.mastercard.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 476,525 characters (exceeds 100,000 threshold; will be truncated by most agents) Your llms.txt is 476,525 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** — Only 0/15 same-origin sampled links resolve (0%); 15 broken 15 of 15 links in your llms.txt return errors. A stale llms.txt with broken links is worse than no llms.txt at all because it sends agents down dead ends with high confidence.
- ✅ **LLMS TXT Links Markdown** — 15/15 same-origin sampled links point to markdown content (100%)
- ❌ **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:** 64/100 · **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** — 15/15 sampled pages support .md URLs (100%)
- ❌ **Content Negotiation** — Server ignores Accept: text/markdown header (0/15 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:** 84/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 1 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 5K, max 15K)
- ✅ **Page Size Html** — All 15 sampled pages convert under 50K chars (median 21, 99% boilerplate)
- ❌ **Content Start Position** — 15 of 15 sampled pages have content starting past 50% (worst 105%) 15 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:** 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 36 code fences properly closed across 17 pages

### URL Stability and Redirects

- **Score:** 41/100 · **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** — 14 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:** 99/100 · **Status:** partial
- **Summary:** 1 warning 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 27/29 sitemap doc pages (93%); 2 missing Your llms.txt covers 80-95% of your site's pages. 2 live pages are not represented in the index.
- ✅ **Markdown Content Parity** — All 15 pages have equivalent markdown and HTML content (avg 0% missing)
- ✅ **Cache Header Hygiene** — All 17 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:** 50/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** llms-full.txt has 2 failing 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 is missing the expected markdown structure.
- ❌ **LLMS Full Links Resolve** — Some llms-full.txt links do not 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.
