Top fixes

  1. Markdown content negotiation

    Serve text/markdown when clients send `Accept: text/markdown` (or expose .md twins of key pages) — agents get far more signal per token.

    +5.6
  2. OpenAPI spec discoverable

    Publish your OpenAPI spec at /openapi.json and link it from docs — it's the single highest-leverage artifact for agent integration.

    +5.3
  3. MCP handshake & tools list

    MCP endpoint https://developers.freshworks.com/docs/agentic-dev-tools/mcp-server/ failed handshake: auth-gated without RFC 9728 metadata. If auth-gated, return resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate so agents can discover how to authenticate.

    +4.2
  4. Sitemap present & fresh

    Publish /sitemap.xml, reference it from robots.txt, and include <lastmod> dates so agents can tell what's current. Freshest lastmod seen: none.

    +3.6
  5. agents.md

    Add /agents.md: what agents may do on your site, key URLs, auth, rate limits, and who to contact.

    +3.2
  6. Docs quality

    Docs scored 0/5 on runnable examples. The documentation is heavily truncated, making it impossible to assess the full scope of information available for an integrating agent.

1.Can an agent discover and trust you?

6/8

Whether agents can crawl you, find you in the registries and searches they check, and trust what they find.

  • Sitemap present & freshrequired2/4

    Sitemap at https://www.freshworks.com/sitemaps/index.xml is valid XML with 1564 entries but contains no <lastmod> dates

    fix → Publish /sitemap.xml, reference it from robots.txt, and include <lastmod> dates so agents can tell what's current. Freshest lastmod seen: none.

    Resolved the sitemap from robots.txt or /sitemap.xml, validated XML, and checked lastmod freshness

    spec ↗

2.Do you welcome agents?

9/12

Whether your robots policy, bot protection, and agent guidance actively admit AI agents instead of blocking them.

  • robots.txt present & parseablerequired2/2

    /robots.txt parses: 1 User-agent group(s), 1 Sitemap line(s)

    Fetched /robots.txt and validated it parses as a robots policy

  • !Agent user-agent paritybetarequirederror

    Browser UA received HTTP 403 with bot-challenge markers — cannot evaluate parity (the site may be blocking our scanner)

    Compared responses served to browser and AI-agent user-agents (informational while in beta)

  • agents.mdrecommended0/3

    No agents.md: https://freshworks.com/agents.md → HTTP 404, https://freshworks.com/AGENTS.md → HTTP 404

    fix → Add /agents.md: what agents may do on your site, key URLs, auth, rate limits, and who to contact.

    Fetched /agents.md and checked for substantive agent guidance

    spec ↗

3.Does an agent understand who you are and what you do?

4/9

Whether your pages carry machine-readable identity: structured data, llms.txt, clear copy an agent can quote.

  • !Homepage states what you arerequirederror

    Homepage returned HTTP 403 — no content to evaluate

    An LLM read your homepage as an agent would and rated how confidently it could say what you do

    GET / with `Accept: text/markdown` returned HTTP 403 text/html; no .md twins found (1 probed)

    fix → Serve text/markdown when clients send `Accept: text/markdown` (or expose .md twins of key pages) — agents get far more signal per token.

    Requested key pages with Accept: text/markdown and probed .md twin URLs

4.Can an agent integrate with you?

watch →9.5/21

Whether the artifacts an agent needs to build on you — docs, API specs, SDKs, MCP servers — exist and are findable.

  • Developer resource discoverabilityrecommended3/3

    Search "Freshworks API documentation" cited your own domain: https://developers.freshworks.com/crm/api/, https://developers.freshworks.com/api-sdk/get-started.html, https://developers.freshworks.com/api-sdk/freshteam/applicants.html

    Searched for your brand with developer-keyword suffixes and checked which official resources are cited

  • OpenAPI spec discoverablerequired0/5

    No OpenAPI spec found: checked docs-page links and /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json, /api/openapi.json, /docs/openapi.json, and api-subdomain locations

    fix → Publish your OpenAPI spec at /openapi.json and link it from docs — it's the single highest-leverage artifact for agent integration.

    Probed standard OpenAPI locations and docs links for a fetchable, parseable spec

    spec ↗
  • Docs discoverablerequired4/4

    Docs found at https://developers.freshworks.com/ (via path probe, 3569 chars of readable text)

    Followed homepage nav/footer links and probed /docs, /developers, docs.{domain}

  • MCP server discoveryrequired2.5/5

    MCP evidence found only as a mention in docs page (https://developers.freshworks.com/): "https://developers.freshworks.com/docs/agentic-dev-tools/mcp-server/" — no well-known server card

    fix → Publish /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json describing your MCP endpoint so agents can autodiscover it. Evidence found: docs page (https://developers.freshworks.com/).

    Probed /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json, mcp.json, and docs mentions for an MCP endpoint

    spec ↗
  • npm SDKrecommended0/2

    No official npm SDK found: probed 6 candidate(s) (@freshworks/sdk, @freshworks/freshworks, freshworks, freshworks-sdk, freshworks-api, freshworks-js) — registry unavailable for: freshworks (Request budget exhausted), freshworks-sdk (Request budget exhausted), freshworks-api (Request budget exhausted), freshworks-js (Request budget exhausted)

    fix → Publish an official npm SDK (suggest @freshworks/sdk) with your domain in package.json homepage so agents can verify it's official.

    Searched the npm registry for an official, domain-verified SDK package

  • PyPI SDKrecommended0/2

    No official PyPI SDK found: probed 4 candidate(s) (freshworks, freshworks-sdk, freshworksapi, freshworks-python) — registry unavailable for: freshworks-python (Request budget exhausted)

    fix → Publish an official Python SDK (suggest "freshworks") with your domain in the project URLs so agents can verify it's official.

    Searched PyPI for an official, domain-verified SDK package

5.Is your integration well-built?

watch →0/5

Whether your specs, docs, and tools are complete and descriptive enough for an agent to use them without guessing.

  • OpenAPI validity & qualityrecommendedna

    No OpenAPI spec found — nothing to lint

    Linted the spec: descriptions, operationIds, securitySchemes, servers

  • Docs qualityrecommended0/3

    Docs at https://developers.freshworks.com/ scored clarity 3/5, completeness 2/5, runnable examples 0/5, agent-friendliness 2/5 (mean 1.8/5)

    fix → Docs scored 0/5 on runnable examples. The documentation is heavily truncated, making it impossible to assess the full scope of information available for an integrating agent.

    An LLM rated your docs for clarity, completeness, runnable examples, and agent-friendliness

  • Quickstart / getting startedrecommended0/2

    Quickstart page https://developers.freshworks.com/docs/getting-started/ exists but contains no code block (<pre> or fenced code)

    fix → Add a copy-pasteable code example (auth → first API call) to your quickstart — agents follow it literally.

    Looked for a quickstart/getting-started guide containing code blocks

  • MCP tool qualityrecommendedna

    MCP endpoint is auth-gated — tools could not be listed unauthenticated

    Linted listed tools for descriptions, typed input schemas, and naming

6.Can an agent use you reliably in production?

watch →1/3

Response hygiene, TLS and redirect discipline, and security contact channels agents depend on at runtime.

  • TLS & redirect hygienerequired1/2

    http://freshworks.com/ reaches https but ends in HTTP 403: http://freshworks.com/ → https://freshworks.com/ → https://www.freshworks.com/

    fix → Redirect http→https in one hop and keep redirect chains ≤2; each hop costs agent latency and some clients give up.

    Checked http→https redirect behavior, chain length, and TLS health

  • !Response speed & weightrequirederror

    Homepage returned HTTP 403 — cannot assess response hygiene

    Measured homepage TTFB, payload size, and compression

  • security.txtrecommended0/1

    security.txt present at https://freshworks.com/.well-known/security.txt but missing required field(s): Expires

    fix → Add Expires to your security.txt — both are required by RFC 9116.

    Fetched /.well-known/security.txt and validated Contact + Expires

    spec ↗

7.Can an agent authenticate to you?

watch →0/7

Whether agents can discover your auth model machine-readably (OAuth metadata) and follow documented steps to credentials.

  • OAuth authorization server metadatarecommended0/3

    Neither /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server nor /.well-known/openid-configuration resolved (HTTP 403 / HTTP 403)

    fix → Serve RFC 8414 metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server with PKCE (S256) and a registration_endpoint so agents can self-onboard.

    Fetched /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server (and openid-configuration fallback)

    spec ↗
  • OAuth protected resource metadatarecommended0/2

    No RFC 9728 metadata: https://freshworks.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource → HTTP 403

    fix → Serve RFC 9728 metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource naming your authorization servers so agents can discover how to authenticate.

    Fetched /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

    spec ↗
  • Auth documentationrecommended0/2

    No auth/API-key link found among 60 links on docs page https://developers.freshworks.com/, and /auth.md is absent

    fix → Document auth end-to-end (key creation → header format → example call), or ship /auth.md.

    Looked for /auth.md or an authentication docs page with code examples

8.Can an agent transact with you?

watch →5/15

Whether pricing is discoverable and machine-readable, and whether you support agent payment protocols.

  • Pricing discoverablerequired2.5/5

    Pricing page found at https://www.freshworks.com/pricing/ (via path probe) but no legible price signals in 2060 chars of page text — no currency amounts, "per month"/"/mo", or "free plan" terms (reads as contact-sales only).

    fix → Add literal plan prices to https://www.freshworks.com/pricing/; 'Contact sales'-only pricing means agents can't complete a purchase evaluation.

    Followed nav/footer links and probed /pricing for a page with legible price signals

  • Machine-readable pricingrecommended2.5/5

    Pricing at https://www.freshworks.com/pricing/ is extractable only via inference and stays ambiguous — only contact-sales/unpriced plans came back (confidence 1.00): Freshdesk Omni (contact sales); Freshdesk (contact sales); Freshchat (contact sales); Freshcaller (contact sales); Freshservice (contact sales); Freshservice for Business Teams (contact sales); Freshsales (contact sales); Freshsales Suite (contact sales); Freshmarketer (contact sales). No Offer JSON-LD on the page.

    fix → Add Offer JSON-LD per plan (name, price, priceCurrency, billing period) to https://www.freshworks.com/pricing/ so pricing parses without inference.

    Looked for Offer JSON-LD, then had an LLM attempt structured extraction of your plans

    spec ↗
  • x402 payment supportbonusrecommended0/2

    /.well-known/x402 returned HTTP 403. No x402 support detected (bonus check — absence costs nothing).

    fix → Support x402: serve payment requirements at /.well-known/x402, or answer unauthenticated API calls with HTTP 402 plus an x402 payment-requirements payload (x402Version, accepts[]).

    Probed /.well-known/x402 and API endpoints for HTTP 402 payment-required envelopes

    spec ↗
  • AP2 readinessemerging0/1

    No AP2 hints found — scanned llms.txt, docs page (https://developers.freshworks.com/); /.well-known/ap2 returned HTTP 403.

    fix → Adopt AP2 to accept delegated agent payments — see https://ap2-protocol.org.

    Scanned fetched artifacts and well-known paths for AP2 hints

    spec ↗
  • Agentic Commerce Protocolemerging0/1

    No Agentic Commerce Protocol hints found — scanned llms.txt, docs page (https://developers.freshworks.com/); /.well-known/acp returned HTTP 403.

    fix → Adopt the Agentic Commerce Protocol so agent checkouts can complete against your store — see https://developers.openai.com/commerce.

    Scanned docs and specs for agentic checkout endpoints

    spec ↗
  • Other agent payment protocolsbonusemerging0/1

    No UCP/MPP hints found — scanned llms.txt, docs page (https://developers.freshworks.com/).

    fix → Track emerging agent payment protocols (UCP, MPP) and adopt the ones your buyers' agents use.

    Scanned fetched artifacts for UCP/MPP protocol hints

9.Can a user act through an agent?

0/4

Whether an end user's agent can operate on their behalf: working MCP tools, published skills, agent configs.

  • Agent skill publishedbonusemergingna

    Requires the analysis phase — not yet evaluated

    Checked /skill.md, /.well-known/skills/, and skills.sh for published agent skills

  • MCP handshake & tools listrequired0/4

    MCP endpoint https://developers.freshworks.com/docs/agentic-dev-tools/mcp-server/ returned 401/403 without resolvable resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate

    fix → MCP endpoint https://developers.freshworks.com/docs/agentic-dev-tools/mcp-server/ failed handshake: auth-gated without RFC 9728 metadata. If auth-gated, return resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate so agents can discover how to authenticate.

    Performed a streamable-HTTP initialize + tools/list against the MCP endpoint

    spec ↗
  • Agent configs in public repobonusemergingna

    Requires the analysis phase — not yet evaluated

    Checked your public GitHub org's main repos for AGENTS.md / .claude / .cursor configs

10.Can an agent operate your website directly?

0/2

Whether the site itself is legible to non-rendering and browser agents: semantic HTML, no JS walls, accessibility.

  • NLWeb endpointemerging0/1

    No NLWeb endpoint detected: /.well-known/nlweb.json returned HTTP 403 (application/xml); GET /ask?query=hello returned HTTP 404 (text/html)

    fix → Consider exposing an NLWeb /ask endpoint (and /.well-known/nlweb.json) for conversational access to your content.

    Probed /.well-known/nlweb.json and the /ask endpoint

    spec ↗
  • !Semantic HTML structurerequirederror

    Scored landmark elements, heading hierarchy, and text-to-markup ratio on the homepage

  • !Content readable without JavaScriptrequirederror

    Homepage returned HTTP 403 (content-type text/html) — no HTML to inspect

    Measured visible text in the raw, unrendered homepage HTML

  • !Accessibility basicsrequirederror

    Homepage did not parse as HTML (HTTP 403, content-type "text/html")

    Static checks: lang attribute, title, alt coverage, labeled inputs, landmarks

  • WebMCPemerging0/1

    No WebMCP evidence on homepage: no application/webmcp script and no navigator.modelContext reference

    fix → Consider WebMCP to expose page actions as tools to browser agents.

    Looked for WebMCP script declarations on the homepage
