Five-stage assessment

Where agent autonomy holds and where it breaks

First break: Evaluate

  1. Evaluate

    Limited

    Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.

    Eligibility is only partly decidable from public criteria.

    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 limited

    supported: fresh

    Eligibility is only partly decidable from public criteria.

    Datadog provides clear website terms of use but explicitly specifies that service access, including free trials, is governed by a separate Master Subscription Agreement or written contract.

    decidable_eligibility: Limited: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Machine discovery

    supported: fresh

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

    Datadog provides comprehensive, machine-discoverable API references covering monitor operations, authentication, and platform features.

    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.

    Datadog publishes explicit and detailed pricing information for its products and features on its public pricing page.

    readable_pricing: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Structured terms limited

    supported: fresh

    Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.

    The service terms are available as public web pages (HTML) rather than a machine-readable structured schema.

    structured_terms: Limited: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    What would improve this stage

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

  2. Sign up

    Ready

    A stable signup entrypoint is available.

    Machine-operable signup has not been established.

    Whether CAPTCHA blocks signup has not been established.

    Whether phone verification is required has not been established.

    A scoped, revocable machine identity flow is documented, including explicit human authorization boundaries.

    Evidence and actions

    CAPTCHA-free signup unknown

    supported: fresh

    Whether CAPTCHA blocks signup has not been established.

    The sign-up page returned a browser update warning rather than demonstrating the full sign-up flow, so the presence of a CAPTCHA cannot be established.

    captcha_free: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Machine-operable signup unknown

    supported: fresh

    Machine-operable signup has not been established.

    The sign-up page rendered a browser compatibility message, preventing observation of the sign-up form controls.

    machine_operable_form: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Phone-free signup unknown

    supported: fresh

    Whether phone verification is required has not been established.

    The sign-up page returned a browser update requirement, so phone verification requirements could not be determined.

    phone_verification_free: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Stable signup entrypoint

    supported: fresh

    A stable signup entrypoint is available.

    The signup entrypoint URL is accessible and responds consistently via HTTP.

    stable_entrypoint: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Supported identity flow

    supported: fresh

    A scoped, revocable machine identity flow is documented, including explicit human authorization boundaries.

    supported_identity_flow: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

  3. Pay

    Ready

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

    Machine-operable checkout has not been established.

    A supported payment rail has not been established.

    Whether sales intervention is required has not been established.

    Evidence and actions

    Explicit price

    supported: fresh

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

    Datadog explicitly publishes price points on its pricing page before commitment, such as AI Credits starting at $500/month or Code Coverage starting at $8/committer/month.

    explicit_price: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Machine-operable checkout unknown

    supported: fresh

    Machine-operable checkout has not been established.

    The signup page output indicates a browser compatibility warning without displaying machine-operable payment or checkout controls in the captured headless state.

    machine_operable_checkout: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Sales-free purchase unknown

    supported: fresh

    Whether sales intervention is required has not been established.

    The retained signup capture does not contain enough evidence to determine whether sales intervention is required to complete a purchase.

    sales_intervention_free: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Supported payment rail unknown

    supported: fresh

    A supported payment rail has not been established.

    The signup page capture shows a browser upgrade message and does not reveal supported payment rails.

    supported_payment_rail: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

  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

    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

    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.

    Datadog documents rate limits and API credential rotation/management via API and Application Keys, but recovery paths for certain rate-limit or administrative failure modes rely on partial or manual controls.

    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.

    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.
  • Pay: The required price or no-charge status is explicit before commitment.
  • Provision: Usable credentials or delegated access are delivered through a documented flow.

What blocks agents

  • Evaluate: Only part of the applicable terms is machine-readable.
  • 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.
