Executive summary
The OCB API for payments scores 81.2 out of 100, reflecting a mostly ready status. Your API excels in standards compliance and SDK readiness, scoring 93.6 and 96.5 respectively. However, documentation readiness and MCP readiness show significant gaps, with scores of 66.1 and 62.5. To improve your API's performance for autonomous agents, prioritize addressing the deficiencies in documentation and MCP readiness.

About this report. We evaluated the OCB 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.

AI Readers Misinterpret Sparse API Descriptions
The OCB API's parameter descriptions are often missing or too brief, leading AI readers to build on incorrect assumptions. This issue can degrade the accuracy of payment processing and hinder developer efficiency.
74%
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.

SDKs generate incorrect types occasionally
You should refine the schema layer to ensure accurate formats and structures in the integration code.

MCP Tools Cannot Execute API Calls
You must provide operationIds and server URLs for the OCB API; otherwise, autonomous agents cannot safely execute payment operations.

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