Executive summary
Your API scores an 80.2 out of 100, reflecting a mostly ready status with strong performance in standards compliance and SDK readiness, scoring 88.6 and 90.8 respectively. However, documentation readiness for AI and MCP readiness show significant weaknesses, with scores of 71.7 and 65.6. While the API functions well for AI-assisted builds, it is not prepared for autonomous agents. Prioritizing improvements in MCP readiness will drive the most immediate impact.

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 PARTNER ENDPOINTS 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.

Address Missing Operation IDs and Properties
You maintain a strong standards compliance score, but missing operation IDs and undefined schema properties can disrupt toolchains and SDK generation.

Elevated risk · MCP readiness
Autonomous agents struggle with API execution
Agents cannot select or call the API correctly due to missing operationIds and confusing operation names, risking runtime failures.
65%
reduction in token consumption when agent tools are grounded in authoritative API context. Bloated or confusable tools consume up to 3.3× more.
