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.

    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 depends on individual context or terms agreement unavailable as an explicit decidable decision rule for an automated agent.

    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.

    Service terms are published as standard HTML pages rather than fully machine-readable structured format.

    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.

    Machine-operable signup has not been established.

    Whether CAPTCHA blocks signup has not been established.

    The tested signup path does not require phone or SMS verification.

    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.

    Documentation alone cannot establish whether a CAPTCHA is present during the live workspace creation signup flow.

    captcha_free: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Machine-operable signup unknown

    supported: fresh

    Machine-operable signup has not been established.

    phone_verification_free: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Stable signup entrypoint

    supported: fresh

    A stable signup entrypoint is available.

    Slack provides a stable entrypoint URL (https://slack.com/get-started#/createnew) for workspace creation.

    stable_entrypoint: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Supported identity flow

    supported: fresh

    supported_identity_flow: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

  3. Pay

    Limited

    Checkout is only partly machine-operable or requires human intervention.

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

    A documented payment rail usable by the intended agent is available.

    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.

    Slack explicitly lists tier pricing on its pricing page, including $0 for the Free tier, $7.25/user/month for Pro (annual), and $15/user/month for Business+ (annual).

    explicit_price: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

    Machine-operable checkout limited

    supported: fresh

    Checkout is only partly machine-operable or requires human intervention.

    Workspace creation and signup steps require manual email confirmation/verification codes, making checkout partially machine-operable.

    machine_operable_checkout: Limited: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Sales-free purchase

    supported: fresh

    The tested funnel can complete without sales intervention.

    Slack workspaces and subscriptions can be created and purchased online self-service without requiring sales intervention.

    sales_intervention_free: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Supported payment rail

    supported: fresh

    A documented payment rail usable by the intended agent is available.

    Slack supports standard self-service payment rails such as credit card billing.

    supported_payment_rail: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    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.

    A bounded provisioning delay has not been established.

    Provisioning status does not apply to this funnel.

    Evidence and actions

    Automatic activation unknown

    supported: fresh

    Automatic activation has not been established.

    The retained documentation for chat.postMessage describes Web API method behavior and rate limits but does not establish whether automatic activation occurs upon onboarding.

    automatic_activation: Unknown: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Bounded provisioning delay unknown

    supported: fresh

    A bounded provisioning delay has not been established.

    credential_delivery: Ready: tested 7 Aug

    Method headless 1

    Machine-readable provisioning status not applicable

    supported: fresh

    Provisioning status does not apply to this funnel.

    Provisioning status does not apply to the message-operations target in the workspace app operations funnel, as chat.postMessage represents direct operational message posting rather than an asynchronous resource provisioning lifecycle.

    machine_readable_status: Not applicable: tested 7 Aug

    Method http 1

  5. Operate

What works

  • Sign up: A stable signup entrypoint is available.
  • Provision: Usable credentials or delegated access are delivered through a documented flow.
  • Operate: A documented API or tool interface is available for operation.

What blocks agents

  • Evaluate: Eligibility depends on information or judgment unavailable to an agent.
  • Pay: Checkout is only partly machine-operable 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.
