## Components

### Content Discoverability

- **Score:** 97/100 · **Status:** partial
- **Summary:** 2 warnings across 7 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Agents need a clear entry point and crawl map before they can reliably discover the right pages.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **LLMS TXT Exists** — llms.txt found at 2 locations; using https://docs.cohere.com/llms.txt as canonical
- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Valid** — llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't fully follow the proposed structure: https://docs.cohere.com/llms.txt: No H1 heading found Your llms.txt contains parseable links but doesn't follow the standard structure. Add an H1 title as the first line and a blockquote summary (lines starting with >) to improve agent parsing.
- ✅ **LLMS TXT Size** — llms.txt is 662 characters (under 50,000 threshold)
- ✅ **LLMS TXT Links Resolve** — All 2 same-origin links resolve (2 total links)
- ✅ **LLMS TXT Links Markdown** — 2/2 same-origin links point to markdown content (100%)
- ✅ **LLMS TXT Directive Html** — llms.txt directive found in HTML of all 15 sampled pages, near the top of content
- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Directive MD** — llms.txt directive found in markdown of 14 of 15 sampled pages (1 missing) An llms.txt directive was found in the markdown of some pages but is missing from others, or is buried deep in the page. Ensure the directive appears near the top of every markdown page.

### Markdown Availability

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** 2 AFDocs checks pass.
- **Rationale:** When markdown is available directly, agents spend less effort stripping presentation markup and guessing structure.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Markdown Url Support** — 15/15 sampled pages support .md URLs (100%)
- ✅ **Content Negotiation** — 15/15 sampled pages support content negotiation (100%)

### Page Size and Truncation Risk

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** 4 AFDocs checks pass.
- **Rationale:** Large pages and delayed primary content increase truncation risk and make retrieval less reliable.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Rendering Strategy** — All 15 sampled pages contain server-rendered content
- ✅ **Page Size Markdown** — All 15 pages under 50K chars (median 7K, max 36K)
- ✅ **Page Size Html** — All 15 sampled pages under 50K chars (median 827K HTML → 17K markdown (98% boilerplate))
- ✅ **Content Start Position** — Content starts within first 10% on all 15 sampled pages (median 0%)

### Content Structure

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** 3 AFDocs checks pass.
- **Rationale:** Predictable sections, valid code fences, and serialized tabs make the content easier for agents to parse correctly.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Tabbed Content Serialization** — No tabbed content detected across 15 sampled pages
- ✅ **Section Header Quality** — No tabbed content found; header quality check not applicable
- ✅ **Markdown Code Fence Validity** — All 131 code fences properly closed across 17 pages

### URL Stability and Redirects

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** 2 AFDocs checks pass.
- **Rationale:** Stable URLs and sane redirect behavior prevent retrieval drift and broken tool references.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Http Status Codes** — All 15 sampled pages return proper error codes for bad URLs
- ✅ **Redirect Behavior** — All 1 redirect(s) across 15 sampled pages are same-host HTTP redirects

### Observability and Content Health

- **Score:** 88/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** 2 failed and 1 warning across 3 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Coverage, parity, and cache behavior determine whether agents can trust the content they retrieve.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ⚠️ **LLMS TXT Coverage** — llms.txt covers 213/250 sitemap doc pages (85%); 37 missing; 1 nested indexes omitted (56 sitemap pages excluded); 1 llms.txt links not in sitemap (may indicate stale links or incomplete sitemap) Your llms.txt covers 85% of your site's pages (80-95% is warn). 37 live pages are not represented in the index. Review missing pages and add them, or adjust --coverage-pass-threshold/--coverage-warn-threshold if they are intentionally excluded.
- ❌ **Markdown Content Parity** — 1 of 15 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 4% missing) 1 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 4% missing). If unintentional, agents are getting outdated content; regenerate markdown from source or fix the build pipeline. If intentional (audience segmentation), add data-markdown-ignore to human-only HTML elements, or adjust thresholds with --parity-pass-threshold/--parity-warn-threshold.
- ❌ **Cache Header Hygiene** — 2 of 17 endpoints have aggressive caching or missing cache headers 2 endpoints have aggressive caching (>24h) or missing cache headers. Set max-age under 3600 or add must-revalidate with ETag/Last-Modified so content updates reach agents promptly.

### Authentication and Access

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** partial
- **Summary:** 1 skipped across 2 AFDocs checks.
- **Rationale:** Agents need either public access or a clear alternative path when documentation is gated behind auth.
- **Reference:** [AFDocs reference](https://afdocs.dev)

**Checks**

- ✅ **Auth Gate Detection** — All 15 sampled pages are publicly accessible
- ⏭️ **Auth Alternative Access** — All docs pages are publicly accessible; no alternative access paths needed

### Full Content Discoverability

- **Score:** 75/100 · **Status:** fail
- **Summary:** llms-full.txt has 1 failing check.
- **Rationale:** A full-document snapshot gives long-context agents a single canonical corpus to ingest without repeated crawling.
- **Reference:** [llms-full.txt guide](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/llmstxt#llms-full-txt)

**Checks**

- ✅ **LLMS Full Exists** — Found llms-full.txt.
- ✅ **LLMS Full Size** — llms-full.txt size is within the expected range.
- ❌ **LLMS Full Valid** — llms-full.txt is missing the expected markdown structure.
- ✅ **LLMS Full Links Resolve** — llms-full.txt links resolve successfully.

### Agent Skills

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass

**Checks**

- ✅ **Skill MD** — Found a legacy skill.md file.

### MCP Server

- **Score:** 100/100 · **Status:** pass
- **Summary:** MCP passes all checks.
- **Rationale:** A discoverable MCP server lets agents use first-class tools instead of scraping pages and inferring behavior.
- **Reference:** [MCP guide](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/model-context-protocol)

**Checks**

- ✅ **MCP Server Discoverable** — Found an MCP server.
