- ok      find out whether machines are welcome
- ok      ask whether the door opens for requests carrying the AI crawlers' names

- missing find out whether verified agents are recognised
- ok      read the homepage as data rather than as a page
- missing find a machine readable API spec
- missing read the developer documentation
- ok      read the prices without running JavaScript
- ok      read the product catalogue as data

## Top issues
1. **The catalogue endpoint at /products.json is closed and no product sitemap replaces it, so an assistant has no list of what this store sells.** (machine_discoverability)
2. **The product feed is closed, forcing agents to scrape individual product pages instead of reading a catalog.** (programmatic_onboarding)
3. **No agent checkout manifest is published, preventing agents from completing purchases even though Shopify supports the protocol.** (agent_aware_instrumentation)

## The agent door
- **machine_discoverability** 100/100. No AI crawler is blocked by robots.txt or user agent rules. A real browser is served the page normally. The sitemap lists 658 URLs. The homepage carries 5 schema.org types including Organization and WebSite.

- **pricing_legibility** 85/100. Prices appear in raw HTML: 1035 on the homepage, 1734 across 3 product pages. Product structured data publishes price, currency, and availability without JavaScript. A GTIN identifies each product.
- **agent_aware_instrumentation** 21/100. No MCP manifest is published at any of the 3 standard paths checked. Shopify supports agent checkout protocols and the platform is ready, but no manifest has been created.

- **steps_to_first_value** 95/100. A product with its price ($100,000) and an add-to-cart control is reached in 2 steps from the homepage. The product page renders the price and availability in structured data. No variant selection is required on the pages checked.
