> Faro AI-Readiness Audit is a paid API for AI agents from byfaro.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability faro-ai-readiness-audit-07036507 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a full AI-readiness audit on https://stripe.com and tell me the score, grade, and the top fixes they need — I want to know if it's ready for agent integrations before we build on it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-category AI-readiness assessment of a website rather than a single signal check. Prefer this full audit over the sibling single-signal endpoints (pricing, payment, MCP) when you want a holistic score, a grade, and actionable prioritized fixes across all seven readiness dimensions — ideal for vendor evaluation, integration due diligence, or competitive benchmarking.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error — ensure the URL is absolute and publicly accessible
- Timeout if the target site is very slow to respond
- Some checks may return inconclusive if the site blocks crawlers
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Full AI-readiness audit of any website: 47 checks across 7 categories (agent permissions, content discoverability, structured data, API/MCP infrastructure, pricing transparency, documentation, agent commerce). Returns 0-100 score, grade, per-check pass/fail and prioritized fixes. Use before recommending, buying from, or integrating with a site.

## Output

Returns a 0-100 AI-readiness score, a letter grade, pass/fail results for each of 47 individual checks organized across 7 categories (agent permissions, content discoverability, structured data, API/MCP infrastructure, pricing transparency, documentation, and agent commerce), plus a prioritized list of recommended fixes.
