Why agent readiness matters in 2026

Search and AI clients increasingly rely on machine-readable hints instead of guessing from random pages. When `robots.txt`, `llms.txt`, and well-known agent files are clear, you reduce ambiguity for both humans and automation.

• Discovery: Sitemaps and robots rules still anchor how agents find your priorities.
• Policy: Explicit signals and bot names reduce accidental misuse of your content.
• Capabilities: MCP cards and skills indexes tell agents what tools exist without reading every URL.

You get a fast scorecard you can act on—no extra software to run on your side.
