How this service works
Publisher discovery decision fetches current public evidence from the supplied target and evaluates the documented criterion. It returns the observation, threshold, verdict, exact evidence source, limitations and a mode-specific action. The check is passive: no login attempt, payload injection, exploit, purchase, form submission or load test is performed.
Output
Returns a structured verdict object containing the observation (what was found on the target), the threshold (the criterion being evaluated), a pass/fail verdict, the exact evidence source URL, any limitations of the passive check, and a mode-specific recommended action to remediate or confirm the finding. No login, form submission, or exploit is performed.
Example use cases
Publisher credibility check before syndication
“Before we syndicate content from techblog.io, can you verify that it has a proper about link that an AI agent can discover? I need the verdict and evidence source.”
Bulk readiness audit for partner sites
“Check https://newsmedia-partner.com to see if its about or contact link is accessible and meets the standard threshold for agent-readable publisher pages — tell me if it passes and what the limitation is if it doesn't.”
Monitor about-link after site redesign
“Our site just went through a redesign at https://ourpublication.org — can you re-evaluate whether the about-link is still discoverable and machine-readable, and flag any action we need to take?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agentreadiness.halowerk.com/v1/about-link-decision?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, passive, read-only audit of whether a publisher's about or contact link is present and machine-discoverable — especially as part of an agent-readiness pipeline, publisher onboarding flow, or credibility verification step. Prefer this over generic crawler tools when you specifically need a structured verdict with threshold, evidence, and action recommendation rather than raw HTML.
Side effects
- Target URL unreachable or returns non-200 status — check may return inconclusive observation
- Domain normalization fails for malformed URLs — validation error returned
- No about-link found at all — verdict is fail with empty evidence source
- Rate limiting or bot-blocking on target — observation may be incomplete with limitation noted
- Baseline mismatch if provided snapshot is stale — comparison result may be misleading
