Example prompt: Can you run an agent readiness audit on https://myproduct.io for Germany with compliance signals included, and tell me the score, grade, and top quick wins?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, scored assessment of a website's AI agent compatibility — including heuristic signals for llms.txt presence, accessibility, compliance, and agent-interactable patterns — especially for DACH/EU sites. Prefer this over generic SEO or accessibility tools when the specific question is whether AI agents can effectively read, parse, and interact with a site.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error or low-confidence result
- Missing required 'url' field causes request rejection
- Private or localhost URLs may not be crawlable
- Deep scan may time out on very large sites
- Compliance signals may be unavailable for non-EU country codes
- Payment of 0.5 USDC not fulfilled results in HTTP 402 Payment Required
