## What the machine actually did
The site refused automated access at rhone.com, so the agent could not reach the site at all.
- blocked reach the site at all
- blocked find out whether machines are welcome
- ok      ask whether the door opens for requests carrying the AI crawlers' names
- blocked read the site's own guide for language models
- blocked find out what pages exist
- blocked find a contact route for machines
- blocked find a published agent interface
- blocked find an agent plugin manifest
- blocked find out whether verified agents are recognised
- missing read the homepage as data rather than as a page
- blocked find a machine readable API spec
- missing read the developer documentation
- blocked read the prices without running JavaScript
- ok      walk the way a visitor would, to a signup form or a product
## Top issues
1. **/, /pricing turn the honest automated client away while serving a real browser, so the search crawlers that would cite the page are turned away by a rule about the client.** (machine_discoverability)
2. **Automated clients are blocked with HTTP 403 while real browsers are served the homepage normally, preventing agents from discovering or purchasing.** (machine_discoverability)
3. **No API documentation or programmatic onboarding path is published or discoverable.** (programmatic_onboarding)
The evidence and the recommended fix for each are on the report page: https://www.seconddoor.io/r/rhone-zka5dn
## Files generated from this scan
- **Let verified assistants through** at `notes`, 1 hour, developer. Verify: The next scan opens the homepage and the key pages in a real browser and under the search crawler names, and every one is served.
- **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.
- **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.
Each file is written from what this scan found on the site. The content is in the JSON once the evidence is opened: https://www.seconddoor.io/api/reports/rhone-zka5dn
## The agent door
- **machine_discoverability** 39/100. No AI crawler is blocked, a real browser is served the page normally, no sitemap, no schema.org markup, a key page turns the honest client away while serving a real browser, a rule about the client.
- **programmatic_onboarding** 20/100. No API surface or developer documentation is linked from the homepage. The product requires no account, so there is no programmatic signup path to measure. Automated access to all standard API documentation paths was refused.
- **pricing_legibility** null/100. Could not verify: this scan did not reach the pages that would show it.
- **agent_aware_instrumentation** 8/100. No MCP manifest.
- **machine_fetchable_trust** 25/100. Security.txt could not be verified because automated access was refused. The homepage refuses automated clients outright with HTTP 403 while serving real browsers normally. No trust signals are machine-readable.
- **commercial_rails** 10/100. Pricing is walled behind a page that refuses automated access. No procurement paths, OAuth configuration, or pricing.md were reachable by machines. The commercial funnel is not accessible to agents.
## The human door
- **steps_to_first_value** 95/100. The product is usable immediately without any account or signup. A visitor can browse the product grid and 59 collections on the homepage with zero steps required. No entry wall exists.
- **required_fields** 100/100. No form exists on the homepage. No fields are required because there is no account system. A visitor encounters nothing to fill in.
- **verification_walls** 100/100. There is no account system and no verification step. Nothing stands between a visitor and the product.
- **error_recovery** 80/100. No form exists to generate errors. The product is immediately usable, so there is no error path to measure. Recovery is not applicable.
