Agent door only. The human door could not be measured on this scan. A Door Gap needs both doors, so this scan does not report one.
## What the machine actually did
The agent got through 9 of 17 requests, but could not read the site's own guide for language models. It came up empty on 7 other checks too.
- ok      reach the site at all
- ok      find out whether machines are welcome
- ok      ask whether the door opens for requests carrying the AI crawlers' names
- missing read the site's own guide for language models
- ok      find out what pages exist
- missing find a contact route for machines
- missing find a published agent interface
- missing find an agent plugin manifest
- 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
- ok      read a product page as data
- ok      read the returns and shipping terms
- missing walk the way a visitor would, to a signup form or a product
## Top issues
1. **No MCP manifest was found at the 3 standard paths checked, so an agent has no published machine door to this site.** (agent_aware_instrumentation)
2. **No OpenAPI specification was found at the 6 standard paths checked, so a client must be written from prose instead of generated.** (programmatic_onboarding)
3. **No developer documentation is linked from the homepage, in raw HTML or the rendered page, so integration starts with a search engine.** (programmatic_onboarding)
The evidence and the recommended fix for each are on the report page: https://www.seconddoor.io/r/hexclad-uu7hpt

- **Organization structured data** at `homepage`, 15 minutes, developer. Verify: The next scan reads Organization and WebSite nodes in the homepage JSON-LD and the structured data check passes.
- **security.txt** at `/.well-known/security.txt`, 10 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan fetches /.well-known/security.txt as text and the security.txt check passes.
- **Machine interfaces: where you stand** at `notes`, 10 minutes, no developer needed. Verify: The next scan finds the interface you published answering at its well-known path, and that check passes.

## The agent door
- **machine_discoverability** 79/100. No AI crawler is blocked by robots.txt, and key pages serve to automated clients without JavaScript. The sitemap lists 186 URLs including products, and /products.json publishes 12 products with brand and identifier.
- **programmatic_onboarding** 10/100. No API documentation is linked from the homepage or published at standard paths. The site offers no developer surface for programmatic access. A UCP manifest exists, but without documented endpoints or authentication flows, an agent cannot.
- **pricing_legibility** 90/100. 93 prices appear in the homepage HTML and 514 across the 3 product pages checked, all readable without JavaScript. Product structured data publishes price and currency on every offer. Availability is also published.
- **agent_aware_instrumentation** 57/100. A Universal Commerce Protocol manifest at version 2026-08-25 is published, declaring 8 capabilities and 3 payment handlers, with a storefront MCP endpoint that agents can call. No MCP manifest exists at the 3 standard paths.
- **machine_fetchable_trust** 65/100. No security.txt or llms.txt is published. The returns policy and shipping policy read as plain text at /policies/refund-policy and /policies/shipping-policy, though neither is embedded in product page structured data.
- **commercial_rails** 78/100. Product markup carries price, currency, availability and identifier. The catalogue answers as data at /products.json with brand on each product, enabling feed construction. Returns and shipping policies read as text.
