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.

passAgent Skills indexAgent manifests

Found a parseable Agent Skills index at https://medicalnewstoday.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json.

passAGENTS.md operating guide for agentsAgent manifests

Found a Markdown guide at /.well-known/agents.md.

pass/.well-known/api-catalog (RFC 9727)Agent manifests

Found a parseable Linkset at https://medicalnewstoday.com/.well-known/api-catalog.

passKey pages discoveredKey pages crawl

Crawled 3 of 12 discovered pages beyond the homepage.

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.

warnDOM size is reasonableStructured data & HTML

Homepage contains ~1552 elements — heavy.

Fix: Aim for under 1500 elements on the homepage. Heavier DOMs slow first paint and overflow some AI crawlers' parse buffers.

warnImages have explicit dimensionsStructured data & HTML

Only 0/1 images have width+height — large CLS risk.

Fix: Set width and height on every <img> so the browser reserves space before the image loads. A layout that shifts while loading makes an AI agent mis-click the element it targeted.

warnSemantic landmark elementsStructured data & HTML

Missing landmark elements: main, header, nav.

passHomepage content is server-renderedCrawlability (Google)

Homepage server response contains 1674 words of visible text — content is reachable without executing JavaScript.

passCookie banner does not block crawlersStructured data & HTML

Detected 1 cookie-banner element but none look agent-hostile (small, dismissible, or offer a reject option).

passHeading hierarchy is intactStructured data & HTML

12 headings, no level skips.

pass<html lang> attributeStructured data & HTML

Language declared as "en".

passImages have alt textStructured data & HTML

1 of 1 <img> tags have alt attributes.

passInternal links on homepageStructured data & HTML

5 internal links found.

passSingle H1 on homepageStructured data & HTML

Exactly one <h1> on the homepage.

passKey pages have <title> and <h1>Key pages crawl

All 3 reachable key pages have both a <title> and <h1>.

passKey pages are server-renderedKey pages crawl

All 3 pages return ≥80 words of visible text without JavaScript.

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.

passAccessibility tree is agent-navigableAccessibility

All 12 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.

Trust & Security

Can agents safely transact?

failNo mixed-content referencesSecurity & trust

Found 1 http:// reference in the homepage HTML — browsers will block these resources.

Fix: Update every http:// resource URL to https:// (or use protocol-relative `//`). Common offenders: image CDNs and legacy embed snippets.

warnWeb Bot Auth signature headerOpen agent protocols

No Web Bot Auth signature headers — sites can't verify agent identity.

Fix: Web Bot Auth (IETF HTTP Message Signatures over Signature / Signature-Input) lets you cryptographically verify which agent is hitting you. Several CDNs offer turn-key support; otherwise skip until vendor support matures.

warnReferrer-Policy headerSecurity & trust

No Referrer-Policy header on the homepage.

Fix: Add `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` so outbound links don't leak full URLs (including query strings) to third parties.

warnMIME-sniff protectionSecurity & trust

No `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` header.

Fix: Add `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` to prevent browsers (and some agents) from re-interpreting your responses as a different content type.

warnClick-jacking protectionSecurity & trust

No X-Frame-Options header and no CSP frame-ancestors directive.

Fix: Add `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` (or a CSP frame-ancestors directive) to prevent your site being framed by a phishing host.

passOAuth authorization server metadataOpen agent protocols

/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server returns parseable JSON.

passOAuth protected-resource metadataOpen agent protocols

/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource returns parseable JSON.
