agent-access-check

Determines if a website is agent-friendly by analyzing robots.txt, .well-known/ai.txt, sitemap.xml, and HTTP headers, providing a verdict for safe scraping.

Instructions

Checks whether a website is accessible and agent-friendly. Fetches robots.txt, .well-known/ai.txt, and sitemap.xml; inspects HTTP headers (CORS, CSP, rate-limit); and returns a readiness verdict. Useful for agents that need to decide whether to scrape, crawl, or interact with a domain before committing to a workflow. Returns allowed/blocked status, disallowed paths, crawl delay, AI-specific rules, and sitemap URL if present.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlNoDomain or URL to check. Can be a bare domain (example.com) or full URL (https://example.com/path).
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It describes the network fetches and return values, but does not disclose potential side effects, rate limits, or failure modes. Adequate but not exhaustive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Concise, front-loaded with purpose, then details. Every sentence adds value without fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, description sufficiently covers input, logic, and output fields. Complete for the tool's purpose.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and parameter description is clear. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it checks website accessibility and agent-friendliness, listing specific files and headers inspected. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on a combined readiness verdict.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly states 'Useful for agents that need to decide whether to scrape, crawl, or interact with a domain before committing to a workflow.' Clear when to use, but does not mention alternatives or when not to use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
