## Defects

Web-standards checks that fail or are partial, and optional files served with an error. Each lists what fixing it is worth.

| State | Check | Kind | Module | Standard | Worth | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fails | `api-catalog` — API catalog | scored | agent-api | Adopted | 2 | No API catalog linkset was served: /.well-known/api-catalog answered HTTP 404. |
| Partial | `meta` — Title and description | scored | core | Adopted | 2 | Title "Cloudflare: Build for the agent era" (35 characters) and a description of 68 characters. The first H1 "Everything we learned from powering 20% of the Internet—yours by defa…" shares 0 of 3 words with the title, brand names aside. The other H1 does not reflect it either. Microsoft's guide to AI search answers (October 2025) asks for an H1 that matches the title or closely reflects it. |
| Partial | `status-page` — Service status and changelog feed | scored | agent-api | Adopted | 0.5 | A status page answered at /status (HTTP 200), but the homepage links no status or changelog feed. |
| Partial | `contact` — Structured contact information | scored | core | Adopted | 0.3 | Homepage markup declares 1 organization-type node with 0 contact details, while the page itself carries 0 plain-text contact signals. Organization "Cloudflare": no contact detail. |
| Partial | `http-caching` — HTTP caching of the homepage | scored | core | Adopted | 0.3 | The homepage sends Cache-Control "max-age=10" and no ETag or Last-Modified header, so a crawler cannot ask whether it changed, and no conditional request was made. |
| optional file, served with an error | `sandbox-environment` — Sandbox or test environment documented | unscored | agent-api | Experimental | 0 | A sandbox is referenced at /docs, but it names no non-production base URL, so an agent cannot integrate safely. |
| optional file, served with an error | `security-txt` — security.txt (RFC 9116) | unscored | core | Adopted | 0 | security.txt at /.well-known/security.txt: 2 Contact lines; no Expires line. RFC 9116 says every file carries a Contact and an Expires line. Not scored: its Policy URL /disclosure/ answered HTTP 200. |

## Optional choices

Decisions only you can make. None earns points or holds a level.

| State | Check | Kind | Module | Standard | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not used | `ai-grounding-directives` — Snippet and AI grounding directives | unscored | core | Adopted | Not used: the homepage has no noarchive, nocache, nosnippet or max-snippet:0 directive, and no data-nosnippet attribute, so Bing applies none of the limits they set on snippets and Copilot answers. |
| Not used | `breadcrumb` — Breadcrumb markup on an inner page | unscored | core | Adopted | The inner page /resource/contact-enterprise-sales/ has no BreadcrumbList in its JSON-LD, Microdata, or RDFa. |
| Not used | `rate-limits-declared` — Rate limits and quotas documented | unscored | agent-api | Experimental | Not published: the developer documentation (/docs/rate-limits answered HTTP 404) states no quota, and the probe responses carry 0 quota headers. |

## Agent conventions

The scored ones make up 30% of the score, and the unscored ones earn no points. None has an effect on Google Search today. Each scored row not in use lists what using it is worth.

| State | Check | Kind | Module | Standard | Worth | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not used | `structured-errors` — Structured errors for JSON requests | scored | core | Adopted | 3.5 | Not used: /aws-probe-b7f46872c3f5, asked for JSON, answered HTTP 404 with an HTML page, not a JSON error. |
| Partial | `webmcp` — WebMCP browser tool declaration | scored | core | Experimental | 2.6 | The homepage declares 1 WebMCP tool: 1 registerTool call, 0 with a name, a description, and an inputSchema. An incomplete tool cannot be called reliably. |
| Present | `ai-rules` — AI crawler policy in robots.txt | scored | core | Adopted | — | 7 of 18 AI crawler tokens have their own robots.txt group: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and anthropic-ai allowed, and 1 more. The other 11 follow the * group (1 of the file's 9 rules). |
| Present | `content-signal` — Content-Signal preferences | scored | core | Draft | — | robots.txt states Content-Signal search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes in the Cohere-ai group. |
| Present | `link-headers` — Discovery via Link response headers | scored | core | Adopted | — | The homepage Link header names the OpenAPI document at /openapi.json (rel=service-desc) and /llms.txt (rel=service-doc). It does not name a markdown variant of the homepage. |
| Present | `llms-full` — /llms-full.txt expanded context | scored | core | Draft | — | /llms-full.txt carries 17307 words of page text in 166 KB. /llms.txt links it. |
| Present | `llms-txt` — /llms.txt published and well-structured | scored | core | Draft | — | /llms.txt opens with H1 "Cloudflare", with 12 H2 link sections and 90 links, 16.8 KB. The scan requested 7 links it names, and each answered 2xx. Not requested: 7 links on another origin and 76 same-origin links (the scan samples up to 6). |
| Present | `markdown-negotiation` — Markdown content negotiation | scored | core | Experimental | — | The homepage serves text/markdown to `Accept: text/markdown, text/html;q=0.5`, with Vary: Accept, accept-encoding (HTTP 200). |
| Not used | `mpp-discovery` — MPP discovery in OpenAPI (x-payment-info) | unscored | agent-api | Draft | 0 | Not declared: /openapi.json describes 4 operations, and none declares x-payment-info. |
| Present | `agent-skills` — Agent Skills declaration | unscored | agent-api | Draft | 0 | Agent skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json lists 19 skills, each with name, type, description, url, and a sha256 digest under $schema https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json. 19 artifacts (https://developers.cloudflare.com/.well-known/agent-skills/agents-sdk.tar.gz, …) are on another host, which this scan does not request (declared, not observed). |

## Out of scope for this site
