Discoverability

Can agents find your site and its capabilities?

failWebMCP / agent-protocol tools discoveredAgent manifests

The page registers no tools via the WebMCP browser API (navigator.modelContext).

Fix: Expose your actions to AI agents with the WebMCP browser API: register tools via navigator.modelContext.registerTool. Optionally also publish a /.well-known/webmcp.json tool catalog as a discovery signpost.

pass/llms.txt guide for AI agentsAgent manifests

Found https://foxnews.com/llms.txt.

pass/llms.txt lists key pages as markdown linksAgent manifests

Found at least one "[name](url)" markdown link.

pass/llms.txt has a summary blockquoteAgent manifests

Found a "> summary" blockquote.

pass/llms.txt opens with an H1 titleAgent manifests

First line is a top-level "# Title" heading.

passllms.txt follows recommendationsLighthouse Agentic

If your llms.txt file does not follow recommendations, large language models may not be able to understand how you want your website to be crawled or used for training. The [llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org/) file should be a Markdown file containing at least one H1 header.

Understanding

Can agents understand your content?

warnMarkdown content negotiationOpen agent protocols

Homepage ignored Accept: text/markdown and returned HTML.

Fix: Serve a markdown version of high-value pages when the client asks for text/markdown. AI summarisers, chatbots and IDE agents prefer markdown — fewer tokens, no DOM noise.

Operability

Can agents actually operate the page?

failWebMCP tools registered with the browserWebMCP tools

The page registers no tools via the navigator.modelContext browser API, so an AI agent has no structured way to operate it.

Fix: Expose your site’s actions to AI agents with the WebMCP browser API: call navigator.modelContext.registerTool({ name, description, inputSchema, execute }) from your page so an agent can invoke them. Implement it directly, or with a library like the @mcp-b polyfill (https://mcp-b.ai). Spec: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webmcp.

warnCumulative Layout ShiftPerformance

0.170 (field data from CrUX) — needs improvement.

Fix: A layout that shifts while loading makes an AI agent mis-click the element it targeted. Eliminate CLS by setting explicit width/height on images and embeds, avoiding inserted content above existing content, and reserving space for ad slots.

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 9 agent-critical accessibility audits passed — an agent can perceive and operate the page through its accessibility tree.

passOverall accessibility scoreAccessibility

Lighthouse accessibility score: 100/100. Agents read the page through its accessibility tree, so this is a proxy for how navigable your site is to an AI agent.

infoTool catalog signpost publishedWebMCP tools

No tool catalog was found at /.well-known/webmcp.json (or /.well-known/webmcp). The catalog is a community convention, not part of the WebMCP standard, so this does not affect WebMCP presence.

Fix: Consider also publishing a tool catalog at /.well-known/webmcp.json: a JSON document with a "spec" of "webmcp/0.1" and a "tools" array, where each tool declares a name and a clear description. It is a community convention (optional, not part of the WebMCP standard) that lets crawlers and agents discover your tools without executing JavaScript.
