    Limited

    Discovery works but is incomplete, context-dependent, split, or unstable.

    The page states that the Neon API reference has moved to https://neon.com/docs/reference/api and that api-docs.neon.tech is deprecated and will be retired soon, though the Neon API itself remains fully supported and unchanged.

    Applicable terms are stable, readable, retrievable, and materially complete.

    Eligibility conditions and required inputs are explicit and decidable.

    Price or no-charge status, variables, currency, and material conditions are explicit.

    Verified structured artifacts accelerate discovery of the evaluation surface.

    Evidence and actions6 signals

    Can an agent decide every material eligibility condition before commitment?

    supported: fresh

    Eligibility conditions and required inputs are explicit and decidable.

    The Neon terms of service establish that Databricks and Customer govern the use of Platform Services. Entering into the Schedule on behalf of a company requires representing and warranting authority to bind that entity, otherwise 'Customer' refers to the individual.

    eligibility_decidability: Ready: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent estimate cost or confirm no-charge status before commitment?

    supported: fresh

    Price or no-charge status, variables, currency, and material conditions are explicit.

    Neon explicitly details its pricing rates, variables, and currency in USD. For example, Launch plan compute is $0.106 per CU-hour, Scale plan compute is $0.222 per CU-hour, and Free plan provides 100 CU-hours of database compute per project per month scaling to zero when idle.

    Are verified structured discovery artifacts available?

    supported: fresh

    Verified structured artifacts accelerate discovery of the evaluation surface.

    The documentation explicitly references structured discovery artifacts, noting that an index of all pages formatted in Markdown and endpoints in OpenAPI is available at https://api-docs.neon.tech/llms.txt.

    structured_evaluation_discovery: Ready: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent retrieve and understand the applicable commitment terms?

    supported: fresh

    Applicable terms are stable, readable, retrievable, and materially complete.

    Applicable terms are publicly accessible and retrievable via the Product Specific Schedule (Neon), which governs Customer's use of Databricks' Neon product family and incorporates the Databricks Master Cloud Services Agreement.

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Does the vendor deliberately describe access for web agents?

    supported: fresh

    Current admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.

    The retained evidence does not provide explicit declarations or policy rules regarding web agent or web crawler access permissions such as robots.txt directives.

    What would improve this stage

    • Publish and link one stable canonical service and access entrypoint.
  2. 02

    Sign up

    Limited

    Machine credentials exist but require manual copying, broad authority, or weak lifecycle support.

    Neon supports Personal, Organization, and Project-scoped API keys with specific roles and revocation support, but creating the first API key requires manual authentication in the console.

    A stable canonical route begins the required access bootstrap.

    Evidence and actions5 signals

    Can an agent operate the access controls and safe handoffs deterministically?

    supported: fresh

    Current admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.

    The signup endpoint returned a 403 Cloudflare security verification page, leaving the operability of access controls unresolved.

    access_control_operability: Unknown: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent obtain scoped, revocable authority for this service?

    supported: fresh

    Machine credentials exist but require manual copying, broad authority, or weak lifecycle support.

    Neon supports Personal, Organization, and Project-scoped API keys with specific roles and revocation support, but creating the first API key requires manual authentication in the console.

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can required phone verification be completed through a supported boundary?

    supported: fresh

    Current admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.

    The signup page returned a 403 security verification page, and documentation describes account authentication and 2FA options without explicitly addressing phone verification.

    phone_verification_compatible: Unknown: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    What would improve this stage

    • Provide scoped delegated authorization with consent, revocation, and deterministic resumption.
  3. 03

    Pay

    Ready

    Charge or no-charge status, currency, recurrence, and material conditions are disclosed.

    Neon discloses its plan commitment details, including a $0/month Free tier and pay-for-what-you-use pricing for Launch ($0.106 per CU-hour, $0.20 per GB-month storage) and Scale ($0.222 per CU-hour) plans.

    A documented direct purchase path reaches paid access without a vendor decision point.

    Evidence and actions4 signals

    Can an agent construct checkout, hand off approval safely, and resume?

    supported: fresh

    Current admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.

    The retained evidence describes Neon's billing summary and invoice views in the console, but it does not disclose a deterministic API or web workflow for an agent to construct checkout, hand off approval safely, and resume.

    checkout_operability: Unknown: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Is the exact commercial commitment disclosed before authorization?

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can payment be authorized within scoped agent or explicit human authority?

    supported: fresh

    Current admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.

    The documentation covers plan prices and paying invoices manually via the console, but it does not document a payment rail supporting scoped agent delegation or explicit human-confirmed authorization with receipts.

    payment_authorization: Unknown: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Is a direct self-service path to paid access documented?

    supported: fresh

    A documented direct purchase path reaches paid access without a vendor decision point.

    Neon documents a direct self-service path to paid access where users can upgrade from the Free plan to Launch or Scale pay-as-you-go plans without requiring a vendor decision point or sales interaction.

    Provision

    Limited

    Delivery needs additional human transfer or has weak scope or lifecycle semantics.

    When creating API keys from the Neon Console, the secret token will be displayed only once and cannot be retrieved later, requiring manual copying.

    Completion is observable, but an asynchronous path omits a material terminal, bound, or reconciliation property.

    Provisioning is machine-triggerable or follows deterministically from an allowed handoff.

    Evidence and actions3 signals

    Can usable access material be delivered securely to an authorized agent?

    supported: fresh

    Delivery needs additional human transfer or has weak scope or lifecycle semantics.

    When creating API keys from the Neon Console, the secret token will be displayed only once and cannot be retrieved later, requiring manual copying.

    access_material_delivery: Limited: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent determine successful provisioning completion and reconcile asynchronous failure?

    supported: fresh

    Completion is observable, but an asynchronous path omits a material terminal, bound, or reconciliation property.

    Create project returns 201 with a connection URI, database, password and role, but the same response documentation instructs callers to wait until the project's operations finish before connecting; the asynchronous completion bound is not established.

    provisioning_completion: Limited: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can provisioning be initiated within supported agent authority?

    supported: fresh

    Provisioning is machine-triggerable or follows deterministically from an allowed handoff.

    Creating a project can be initiated directly via an HTTP POST request to the Neon API endpoint (/projects).

    provisioning_operability: Ready: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    What would improve this stage

    • Deliver scoped access material through a secure documented machine-usable flow.
    • Expose bounded machine-readable terminal status and reconciliation semantics.
  5. 05

    Operate

    Limited

    Safe failure handling is documented only partially.

    The Create project endpoint documentation details response status codes, including safe retries for GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, 503 Service Unavailable, and 423 Locked responses, as well as warning that non-idempotent methods (POST, PATCH, DELETE, PUT) are generally not safe to retry. Safe failure semantics are only partially documented across all operations.

    Only part of the credential lifecycle is agent-operable.

    Every essential target has a stable documented agent-usable interface alternative.

    Request-time authentication is documented and usable under scoped agent authority.

    Essential operations have stable readable request, response, and effect semantics.

    Evidence and actions6 signals

    Is an agent-native protocol interface verified against the essential targets?

    supported: fresh

    Current admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.

    The retained excerpts describe REST or RPC interfaces, SDKs and CLIs for Neon API; they contain no first-party statement that an agent-native protocol interface is absent, and several navigation excerpts mention MCP resources without establishing coverage of the assessed targets.

    agent_protocol_interface: Unknown: tested 6 Sept

    • project-api

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent manage credential expiry, rotation, revocation, compromise, and recovery?

    supported: fresh

    Only part of the credential lifecycle is agent-operable.

    API keys can be listed, created, and manually rotated or immediately revoked via the Console, CLI, or API, including when a key is suspected of being compromised. However, API keys do not expire on a schedule and expiration handling is not provided.

    credential_lifecycle: Limited: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent handle applicable failure modes safely?

    supported: fresh

    Safe failure handling is documented only partially.

    The Create project endpoint documentation details response status codes, including safe retries for GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, 503 Service Unavailable, and 423 Locked responses, as well as warning that non-idempotent methods (POST, PATCH, DELETE, PUT) are generally not safe to retry. Safe failure semantics are only partially documented across all operations.

    failure_contract: Limited: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent authenticate service operations with scoped authority?

    supported: fresh

    Request-time authentication is documented and usable under scoped agent authority.

    Neon API operations authenticate using HTTP request headers containing a Bearer token with a 64-bit API key (Personal, Organization, or Project-scoped).

    operation_authentication: Ready: tested 6 Sept

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Are essential operation inputs, outputs, and effects stable and decidable?

    supported: fresh

    Essential operations have stable readable request, response, and effect semantics.

    Essential operations across the API reference, branch operations, project creation, and project operations document request parameters, HTTP methods, endpoints, JSON schemas, response structures, and operational effects.

    • project-api

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    Can an agent perform every essential assessment target through a usable interface?

    supported: fresh

    Every essential target has a stable documented agent-usable interface alternative.

    All essential target operations—including getting started reference, branch operations, project creation, and project management—are operable through documented HTTP API endpoints or CLI tools.

    target_interface_access: Ready: tested 6 Sept

    • project-api

    Method public-semantic-assessment 2026-09-06

    What would improve this stage

    • Document applicable structured errors, retry, cancellation, and reconciliation semantics.
    • Provide scoped expiry, rotation, revocation, compromise, and recovery operations.

What works

  • Pay: Charge or no-charge status, currency, recurrence, and material conditions are disclosed.

What blocks agents

No stage is established as blocked.

Where autonomy is limited

  • Evaluate: Discovery works but is incomplete, context-dependent, split, or unstable.
  • Sign up: Machine credentials exist but require manual copying, broad authority, or weak lifecycle support.
  • Provision: Delivery needs additional human transfer or has weak scope or lifecycle semantics.
  • Operate: Safe failure handling is documented only partially.

What this grade establishes

14 of 14 graded signals have current supporting evidence. 0 of 5 additional barrier checks are verified.Unknown checks are not a pass or a confirmed blocker. This report is not proof of an end-to-end purchase or service session.

How the grade is derived

A through C grades count Limited stages; D and F reflect Blocked stages by lifecycle severity.

Coverage is complete only when every graded signal has supported, fresh, non-conflicting evidence. Barrier and informational signals do not change coverage; only fresh, supported barrier values that passed their admission evidence rule participate in stage outcomes.

Each stage takes its worst graded signal or verified barrier. A fresh, supported mandatory barrier that passed its admission evidence rule can block that stage; incomplete or stale barrier evidence remains context only. The overall grade is derived from the five stage states.
