Top fixes

  1. Semantic HTML structure

    Add landmark elements and a clean heading hierarchy — missing: <main> landmark, <nav> landmark, no heading-level skips, text-to-markup ratio ≥ 0.10.

    +3.5
  2. agents.md

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

    +2.8
  3. Quickstart / getting started

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

    +1.9
  4. PyPI SDK

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

    +1.9
  5. Docs quality

    Docs scored 1/5 on runnable examples. The documentation heavily relies on external links and a full documentation index, which an agent following the docs literally would not be able to access directly without further instructions.

    +1.4
  6. OpenAPI validity & quality

    Spec fails: info.description ≥ 50 chars; ≥ 70% of operations have operationId. Agents generate calls directly from your spec — descriptions and securitySchemes are load-bearing.

    +1.4
