Five-stage assessment

Where agent autonomy holds and where it breaks

First break: Evaluate

  1. Evaluate

    Blocked

    Eligibility depends on information or judgment unavailable to an agent.

    Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.

    An ARD declaration has not been established.

    An agent can discover the product and funnel from the tested public entrypoints.

    Pricing or the absence of a charge is explicit and machine-readable.

    Evidence and actions

    ARD declaration unknown

    missing: unknown

    An ARD declaration has not been established.

    ard_declaration: Unknown

    Decidable eligibility unavailable

    supported: fresh

    Eligibility depends on information or judgment unavailable to an agent.

    Eligibility under the Commercial Terms of Service depends on subjective or external factors, such as having legal authority to bind an entity, verifying identity/use upon request, and complying with usage policies.

    decidable_eligibility: Blocked: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Machine discovery

    supported: fresh

    An agent can discover the product and funnel from the tested public entrypoints.

    machine_discovery: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Readable pricing

    supported: fresh

    Pricing or the absence of a charge is explicit and machine-readable.

    Method http 1

    Structured terms limited

    supported: fresh

    Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.

    Commercial terms are available as stable web text with structured sections, but are provided as HTML/text rather than a dedicated structured data API.

    structured_terms: Limited: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    What blocks agents

    • Eligibility depends on information or judgment unavailable to an agent.

    What would improve this stage

    • Publish complete, explicit eligibility criteria and required inputs.
    • Publish complete applicable terms in a stable machine-readable document.

  2. Sign up

    Ready

    A stable signup entrypoint is available.

    Whether phone verification is required has not been established.

    The tested signup flow exposes machine-operable controls.

    Method headless 1

  3. Pay

    Blocked

    The required checkout cannot be operated by an agent.

    A supported payment rail has not been established.

    The tested funnel can complete without sales intervention.

    Evidence and actions

    Explicit price

    supported: fresh

    The required price or no-charge status is explicit before commitment.

    Anthropic provides explicit pricing details for base input/output tokens, caching, and feature usage on their official pricing documentation.

    explicit_price: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Machine-operable checkout unavailable

    supported: fresh

    The required checkout cannot be operated by an agent.

    The login and authentication entry point for accessing console keys requires email, SSO, or Google interactive authentication mechanisms.

    machine_operable_checkout: Blocked: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Sales-free purchase

    supported: fresh

    The tested funnel can complete without sales intervention.

    Self-service platform signup and API account creation can proceed via automated console login options without requiring sales contact.

    sales_intervention_free: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Supported payment rail unknown

    supported: fresh

    A supported payment rail has not been established.

    The console login endpoint does not expose documentation on payment rails directly within the captured login page state.

    supported_payment_rail: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    What blocks agents

    • The required checkout cannot be operated by an agent.

    What would improve this stage

    • Expose documented, labelled checkout controls or an agent-compatible commerce interface.

  4. Provision

    Ready

    Usable credentials or delegated access are delivered through a documented flow.

    Automatic activation has not been established.

    Machine-readable provisioning status has not been established.

    A bounded provisioning delay has not been established.

    Evidence and actions

    Automatic activation unknown

    supported: fresh

    Automatic activation has not been established.

    Retained evidence from the console login page demonstrates authentication entry points (Google, email, SSO) but does not establish whether account onboarding automatically activates usable platform API access without manual intervention.

    automatic_activation: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Bounded provisioning delay unknown

    supported: fresh

    A bounded provisioning delay has not been established.

    bounded_delay: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Credential delivery

    supported: fresh

    Usable credentials or delegated access are delivered through a documented flow.

    credential_delivery: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Machine-readable provisioning status unknown

    supported: fresh

    Machine-readable provisioning status has not been established.

    Documentation describes synchronous HTTP API error response structures and status codes, but does not document a machine-readable provisioning progress, status, or reconciliation lifecycle interface.

    Recovery is available only for some failure modes or requires human intervention.

    An agent protocol interface has not been established.

    A documented API or tool interface is available for operation.

    Authentication is documented and usable within an agent authorization boundary.

    Limits, structured errors, retry behavior, and idempotency semantics are documented where applicable.

    Evidence and actions

    Agent protocol interface unknown

    missing: unknown

    An agent protocol interface has not been established.

    agent_protocol_interface: Unknown

    API or tool access

    supported: fresh

    A documented API or tool interface is available for operation.

    Anthropic provides documented API and tool interfaces including client SDKs in seven languages and the ant CLI for interacting with the Claude API.

    api_tool_access: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Delegated recovery limited

    supported: fresh

    Recovery is available only for some failure modes or requires human intervention.

    SDKs and endpoints support token rotation and exponential backoff retry for transient errors, but full delegated recovery relies on human support intervention for persistent failures.

    delegated_recovery: Limited: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Documented limits and errors

    supported: fresh

    Limits, structured errors, retry behavior, and idempotency semantics are documented where applicable.

    HTTP status codes, structured JSON error responses, request size limits, and SDK automatic retry behavior with exponential backoff are fully documented.

    documented_limits_errors: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Usable authentication

    supported: fresh

    Authentication is documented and usable within an agent authorization boundary.

    Authentication via x-api-key or Bearer tokens obtained via Workload Identity Federation is fully documented and managed automatically by official SDKs.

    usable_authentication: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    What would improve this stage

    • Provide delegated credential rotation, revocation, retry, and recovery paths without requiring unrestricted human intervention.

What works

  • Sign up: A stable signup entrypoint is available.
  • Provision: Usable credentials or delegated access are delivered through a documented flow.

What blocks agents

  • Evaluate: Eligibility depends on information or judgment unavailable to an agent.
  • Pay: The required checkout cannot be operated by an agent.
  • Operate: Recovery is available only for some failure modes or requires human intervention.

Method, policy, and immutable identifiers

Complete, fresh evidence for the core service lifecycle first applies hard stage severity, then grades the share of applicable evidenced signals that are constrained. Optional blocker probes affect the grade when established and remain visible as unknown when public evidence cannot establish them.

Any incomplete, contradictory, unsupported, or non-fresh required evidence produces an unrated profile. A failed Evaluate, Sign up, or Pay stage derives D; a failed Provision or Operate stage derives F; otherwise constrained-signal ratio derives A+ through C.
