What we measure

An AI plugin manifest tells AI agents how to interact with your site programmatically. It's an emerging standard that early adopters use to surface their services to LLM-based tools.

How to improve your score

Publish a minimal `ai-plugin.json` at `/.well-known/ai-plugin.json` describing your services, contact, and any public APIs.

Data source

Data source for this factor is not yet documented.

Implementation notes

Single GET request to `/.well-known/ai-plugin.json`, parse and validate.

Scoring

Scoring formulas are versioned with the methodology. The current method (v1.1.0) maps raw measurements to pass, warn, fail. Factor weights determine how much each contributes to the composite — see the methodology index for the full table.
