Executive summary
Your Nomos API scores 78.8 out of 100, reflecting a solid foundation but significant areas for improvement. Standards compliance stands strong at 92.9, while documentation readiness for AI reveals significant gaps with a score of 64.4. SDK readiness for AI is promising at 87.9, but MCP readiness also shows significant gaps at 63.1. Addressing the documentation and MCP readiness issues is essential for enabling AI-assisted builds and ensuring autonomous agents can effectively make calls.

About this report. We evaluated the Nomos 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.

MCP Tools Cannot Execute API Safely
Autonomous agents cannot select or call the Nomos API due to missing operation identifiers and unclear response documentation. This confusion risks improper execution and degraded functionality.
65%
reduction in token consumption when agent tools are grounded in authoritative API context. Bloated or confusable tools consume up to 3.3× more.
