Executive summary
Your API scored 83.5 out of 100, reflecting a mostly ready status with a grade of B. The API excels in standards compliance, achieving a score of 95.3, but shows significant gaps in documentation readiness for AI, with a score of 68.3. Additionally, the API is mostly ready for SDK and MCP with scores of 80.1 and 84.2, respectively. To improve overall readiness, prioritize addressing the documentation gaps for AI.

SDK Readiness for AI
Clean types, predictable naming, correct formats: whether production-grade client code can be generated from your spec, by SDK pipelines and AI coding assistants alike

MCP Readiness
Whether your operations survive being turned into tools: distinct names, descriptions that carry what an agent must know, safe invocation semantics, auth, error recovery, and context budget

About this report. We evaluated the 160.com.au API specification against thousands of deterministic rules we have refined over twelve years of building API tooling, supplemented by AI-based analysis. Every finding is reproducible from the spec itself, scored consistently, and paired with a concrete fix.
What's at stake
Residual risks to monitor
No active failures, but elevated risks remain. Continued improvement will bring these into the managed band.

Missing operation IDs disrupt integrations
You should address the missing `operationId` in the operation object to prevent downstream toolchain issues.

AI readers misinterpret API due to gaps
You must provide detailed parameter descriptions to prevent coding assistants from building on incorrect assumptions.

of developers name missing or unclear documentation as the top reason they abandon an API. AI readers are stricter: what a human would ask about, an AI assumes.

MCP Tools Struggle with API Execution
The autonomous agents cannot reliably select or execute operations due to missing operation identifiers and JSON media types.

reduction in token consumption when agent tools are grounded in authoritative API context. Bloated or confusable tools consume up to 3.3× more.
