GoalAn agent uses Resend

Wider segments are worth more points. The overall adds up every check's points, so it isn't the average of the three parts.

Easy to find, read and use.

Resend passes every Find check, every Read check and 11 of 13 Act checks. The weakest step is Act (Errors have a schema). One more fails there, but we'd skip it for now.

The pages marketing owns pass. What's left sits with engineering and product.

What to fixPart 1 of 4

1 gap to fix

Most points for the least effort. Each sits next to the file the best email API on our board shipped, as of 9 Nov 2026. One more check fails with no example to follow yet; it's below the fixes.

All 31 checks29 pass · 2 fail

FailAct stepFix 1 of 1+4 pointsEffort: hours, our estimate

Fix 1: Your API spec doesn't say what an error looks like

Do this: In your OpenAPI spec, give each operation a 4xx and a default response with an error schema: a stable code or type and a message, ideally as application/problem+json (RFC 9457), defined once under components and referenced with $ref.

Errors have a schema: your API spec says what an error looks like: a code an agent can act on, and a message.

FailWhat we read on Resend (1)

PassFrom Mailtrap, on our email API board, as of 9 Nov 2026

Why it might matter

Without a documented error shape, an agent may have to guess from the message why a call failed, and retry or give up wrongly.

Our call · Worth doing.

If agents call your API, a stable error code tells them what went wrong without reading prose.

Our judgement.

How we test this
  • In the OpenAPI spec AR-ACT-02 finds, we count the operations that declare a 4xx, 5xx or default response with a schema, directly or through a $ref.
  • The credit is the share that do.
  • We note when they use application/problem+json (RFC 9457), the standard shape.
  • With no spec, it isn't counted.
  • The IETF's draft agent-friendly API profile, is-agentic and Alpic check it.
1 more fails, with no example yet: Tools for browser agents

Nobody on the board passes our check yet

No email API on our board passes our check on these yet, so there's no example to show.

  • We didn't find tools for browser agents in your homepage's HTML or inline scripts

    Tools for browser agents: tools your web page offers to AI agents that work in a browser (a proposed standard).

    It costs a point, but it's only worth building if agents need to operate forms on your site. If they do, a browser agent may find no tools to call and have to click through instead.

    Don't do it for the score. It's still a proposed standard, and almost nobody on our boards passes our check, though Bird, Postmark and CrewAI load it from a script our check doesn't read. Build it only if agents need to operate forms on your site. Our judgement.

Every checkPart 3 of 4

What these checks can't tell you

  • Whether an agent can sign up and get a key. One registry found 30 of 100 developer tools blocked it.
  • Whether coding agents write current code for your API. In our small test, a 96 and a 71 came out the same: what we found.
  • Whether your bot protection lets an agent in when a person sends one. Check your CDN settings.
  • Whether ChatGPT recommends you. That depends on far more than these files.
  • What another scanner would give you. They ask different questions and weigh them differently: why the numbers differ.

    • One blocked page is a fail; both caps your score at 39.

    # Resend
    
    > Resend is the email API for developers. Send transactional and marketing emails at scale with a simple, modern API.
    
    For AI agents and automation, use the tools below.
    
    ## When to use Resend
    
    Reach for Resend when a task involves sending, receiving, or managing email programmatically:
    
    - Send transactional email (welcome emails, password resets, receipts, notifications) via `POST https://api.resend.com/emails` with an API key, or through an official SDK.
    - Send batch email (up to 100 messages per request) via `POST https://api.resend.com/emails/batch`.
    - Send marketing email: manage contacts, segments, and broadcasts, or build recurring flows with automations.
    - Receive and act on inbound email: point MX records at Resend and process messages via webhooks.
    - Build email templates with React using [React Email](https://react.email), then send them through the API.
    - Manage sending infrastructure: verify domains (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), rotate API keys, configure webhooks, and monitor delivery events.
    
    How to call Resend: authenticate with a `Bearer` API key against `https://api.resend.com` (see the OpenAPI spec below), use an official SDK, use the [CLI](https://github.com/resend/resend-cli), or connect to the [MCP server](https://mcp.resend.com/mcp). Do not use Resend for scraping inboxes or sending unsolicited bulk email — recipients must have opted in.
    
    ## Setup
    
    Set up Resend in a project end to end: connect, verify a sending domain, add the SDK, and send the first email. Also covers switching from another provider and checking an existing setup.
    
    - [Setup guide for agents](https://resend.com/setup.md)
    
    ## Command line tool
    
    Install and use the Resend CLI from the terminal.
    
    - [Install](https://resend.com/install.sh)
    - [Repository](https://github.com/resend/resend-cli)

    - [Full documentation](https://resend.com/docs/llms.txt)
    
    ## Deliverability

    How we test this:

    • We read llms.txt at your site root and, if your docs live on another host, at your docs root, and check one returns 200, isn't HTML and has at least one markdown link.
    • Off the board, we also try your docs. host and /docs/llms.txt.
    • We read the first 2 MB: a larger file is judged on that part, and the result says "read the first 2 MB; the file is larger".
  • Passllms.txt links work, and it fitsLG-READ-0210,422 characters, 67 links; 12 of 12 we tried resolve7 of 7 points

    7 of 7 points · High, worth 7

    How we test this:

    • We read the llms.txt AR-READ-07 passes on (the first with markdown links) and fetch up to 12 of its links, spread through the file, two at a time.
    • A link is broken when it answers 404 or 410, or its host doesn't exist.
    • A 2xx after redirects resolves, and so does an answer like 400, 405 or 406 that shows the address is there (an MCP endpoint answers a plain GET with 405).
    • A refusal, a 429 or a server error isn't judged.
    • The credit is the share that resolve, halved when the file runs to 50,000 characters or more, and nothing past 100,000: AFDocs' size bands.
    • With no llms.txt it isn't counted: AR-READ-07 counts that.
  • PassDocs pages fit an agent's contextLG-READ-04docs page: 1,800 characters of text; docs surface: 13,459 characters of text; linked from the docs page: 6,296 characters of text; linked from the docs page: 6,708 characters of text; linked from the docs page: 4,056 characters of text; linked from the docs page: 4,689 characters of text; linked from the docs page: 5,564 characters of text7 of 7 points

    7 of 7 points · High, worth 7

    How we test this:

    • On each docs page we read (up to 7) we count the characters of visible text in the raw HTML, and of its Markdown copy if it has one, and judge the page by the larger of the two: an agent reading either may be cut off.
    • Under 50,000 passes, up to 100,000 is half, more fails: AFDocs' bands, from the limits agents cut pages at.

    ```typescript

    How we test this:

    • On your docs surface, we look for a code block that carries a language tag: language-* or lang-* on <pre> or <code>, code-language-* on any element (a code block's wrapper, say), or a data-language or data-lang attribute.
    • In markdown files, a fenced block with a language (```ts) counts.
    • If no page shows one, we read the markdown copy each HTML page declares (a <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">, or its URL plus .md listed in your llms.txt), since many docs sites add the language label with JavaScript.
    • If none of the pages we read is a quickstart or SDK page, a miss isn't counted: it can't fail you or withhold your score.

    How we test this:

    • On each docs page we read (up to 7), one Markdown answer with content passes the page: it answers Accept: text/markdown with text/markdown, declares a copy with <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"> that returns Markdown, or the address the page lands on, after redirects, ending in .md does (for one ending in a slash, both /page.md and /page/index.md).
    • An empty answer doesn't count.
    • The credit is the share of pages that pass.

    How we test this:

    • We fetch five standard .well-known files and check at least one returns 200 with valid JSON: oauth-authorization-server (RFC 8414), oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728), openid-configuration, api-catalog (RFC 9727) and agent-card.json (A2A).
    • This list is ours: AgentReady v2.0 doesn't name one.
    • Off the board, on a miss, we also read oauth-protected-resource on the mcp., api. and docs. hosts of your domain, where that metadata usually lives, and it counts only with its resource field.

Provide all options via flags for scripting, or let the CLI prompt interactively for missing fields. resend emails send \ --from "Acme

    How we test this:

    • Passes when AR-ACT-03 passes (your docs surface names your own MCP server, not just a mention or a blog post about one; on the board, only an MCP server with a tool that acts on the product: send, manage or query, not only search docs, since AgentReady calls this "the interface an agent acts through"), or when your docs surface shows a CLI install: brew install, npm i -g, npm install -g, pipx install, uv tool install, go install, az extension add, or curl ... | sh (or | bash).
    • A mention of MCP that isn't your own server, with no CLI install, isn't counted.
    • For board companies, the CLI half counts only a command of the product's own CLI that we confirmed by hand, like az communication email send or twilio email:send, on the pages we read or on the docs page that shows it: an install alone could be any tool (an MCP setup guide installing pnpm, say).
    • For a product inside a larger platform, the platform's MCP server or CLI counts when its docs show it covers the product.
    • An MCP server earns both this check and AR-ACT-03, because AgentReady lists them as two items.
    • If none of the pages we read is a quickstart or SDK page, a miss isn't counted: it can't fail you or withhold your score.
  • PassOpenAPI specAR-ACT-02OpenAPI 3.1.2, 89 paths7 of 7 points · 11 of 15 pass

    7 of 7 points · High, worth 7

    How we test this:

    • We look for an OpenAPI or Swagger document: for board companies, a URL we confirmed by hand; then up to 2 links on your docs surface whose URL mentions openapi or swagger, or whose link text does for a .json or .yaml file (files on other sites count when your docs link them; an address written out in your llms.txt or another text file counts as a link, and its line as the link text); then /openapi.json and /openapi.yaml on your host and your docs host.
    • Off the board, a .json or .yaml link under an llms.txt heading that names OpenAPI counts as a link to a spec, or, where that section has none, a link with no file extension, and on a miss we also try those two on the docs., developers. and api. hosts of your domain.
    • It passes if one parses as JSON or YAML with an openapi or swagger key and at least one path.
    • A spec over 10 MB counts as couldn't check.

    npm install resend
    pip install resend

    How we test this:

    • On your docs surface we look for an npm install (npm, yarn, pnpm or bun) and a pip install (pip, poetry or uv) of a named package.
    • Both must appear, on any of the pages (AgentReady: npm and PyPI).
    • Off the board, uv tool install and pipx install also count as a pip install.
    • Off the board, if one is missing we also read the markdown copy each HTML page declares (a <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">, or its URL plus .md listed in your llms.txt), then up to 2 pages your llms.txt names for that language.
    • AgentReady v2.0 asks for SDKs and a CLI here; this check tests the npm and PyPI half, and a CLI counts under AR-ACT-10.
    • If none of the pages we read is a quickstart or SDK page, a miss isn't counted: it can't fail you or withhold your score.

    How we test this:

    • A stand-in: AgentReady asks for self-serve key generation with documented scopes, or OAuth metadata, and key sign-up can't be tested in code.
    • It passes if OAuth metadata parses as JSON with the field its RFC requires (issuer for RFC 8414, resource for RFC 9728), or if your docs say "API key" or "API token" (also inside a placeholder like YOUR_API_KEY) within 200 characters of a documented auth header: an X-...-Key or X-...-Token header, a header named ...-Key or ...-Token, Authorization with Bearer, or "Bearer API key".
    • The word "token" on its own doesn't count.
    • For board companies we also read the authentication page their docs link.
    • Off the board, OAuth metadata with its resource field on your mcp., api. or docs. host also counts.
    • A board company whose API signs each request (like AWS Signature Version 4) or takes the key in the request body isn't counted: this stand-in can't judge that kind of auth either way.
    • If none of the pages we read is a quickstart or SDK page, a miss isn't counted: it can't fail you or withhold your score.

    How we test this:

    • In the OpenAPI spec AR-ACT-02 finds, we count the operations with a non-empty operationId.
    • The credit is the share that have one.

    MCP Server - Resend Documentation Index Fetch the complete documentation index at: /docs/llms.txt Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring

    How we test this:

    • On your docs surface we look for your own MCP server and quote the line: your name next to "MCP" ("Acme MCP server"), "our" or "official" MCP server, or an mcp.<your domain> address.
    • Any other mention of "MCP server" or "Model Context Protocol", like a directory or an explainer, isn't counted: it can't fail you and it earns no points, because we can't tell the server is yours.
    • A mention in a link to a blog post, or on an llms.txt line that links to one, doesn't count at all: a post about building a server isn't one you ship.
    • For board companies we read the MCP page their docs link and list the tools it documents: a server that only searches your docs counts here, as AgentReady describes an MCP server as a "standard tool protocol for docs search and actions".
    • We don't probe /mcp or call any server.
    • Off the board, OAuth metadata with its resource field on your mcp. host also counts: it's the server's own file.
    • If none of the pages we read is a quickstart or SDK page, a miss isn't counted: it can't fail you or withhold your score.
  • FailErrors have a schemaLG-ACT-02Your API spec doesn't say what an error looks like0 of 4 points

    Your API spec doesn't say what an error looks like. Without a documented error shape, an agent may have to guess from the message why a call failed, and retry or give up wrongly.

    0 of 4 points · Medium, worth 4

    How we test this:

    • In the OpenAPI spec AR-ACT-02 finds, we count the operations that declare a 4xx, 5xx or default response with a schema, directly or through a $ref.
    • The credit is the share that do.
    • We note when they use application/problem+json (RFC 9457), the standard shape.
    • With no spec, it isn't counted.
    • The IETF's draft agent-friendly API profile, is-agentic and Alpic check it.
  • FailTools for browser agentsAR-ACT-07We didn't find tools for browser agents in your homepage's HTML or inline scripts0 of 2 points · 0 of 15 pass

    We didn't find tools for browser agents in your homepage's HTML or inline scripts. It costs a point, but it's only worth building if agents need to operate forms on your site. If they do, a browser agent may find no tools to call and have to click through instead.

    How we test this:

    • We check your homepage's raw HTML, inline scripts included, contains modelContext (AgentReady names document.modelContext).

    • An install is npx skills add, claude plugin install, a git clone into a skills folder, or your own command line running plugin install or skills add right after the word skill.

    How we test this:

    • We look for OAuth authorization server metadata (RFC 8414): at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server on your site, through the authorization_servers your protected-resource metadata (RFC 9728) names, and on your mcp. host.
    • It passes when it lists S256 in code_challenge_methods_supported, has scopes_supported, and has a registration_endpoint or client_id_metadata_document_supported, as the MCP authorization spec asks.
    • With no OAuth metadata, it isn't counted.

    • On your docs surface we look for an install in each of four languages: TypeScript/JavaScript (npm, yarn, pnpm or bun), Python (pip, poetry or uv), Go (go get) and Java (a Maven <artifactId> or a Gradle implementation line).
    • All four must appear.

    How we test this:

    • A one-time allowance with no period doesn't count.

  4. Stay ahead of your category
  5. Then back to 1 when a rival passes you
  1. Pick your fixes

    Usually the founder or DevRel lead

    One fix takes Resend from 96 to 99, joint 1st of 15 email APIs, past Bird (ex-SparkPost).

    Nothing copied yet from this browser.

  2. Hand them off

    To whoever ships it

    Fix with AI writes each fix for whoever ships it: your coding agent, an engineer, product or marketing. Open it in Cursor, as a GitHub issue or in Linear, or copy it. Nothing runs until you send it.

  3. Rescan once it's live

    Usually the engineer, after the deploy

    A rescan reads Resend again and shows what now passes, the new score and who you passed.

    Last scan: 96 on 9 Nov, joint 2nd of 15 email APIs.

    Weekly, for 4 weeks. A calendar file: no email from us.
    Bookmark this page: it opens on our 9 Nov 2026 scan, with a live scan one press away.
  4. Stay ahead of your category

    DevRel, the founder

    Rivals ship too. Watch Resend with Mailtrap, the nearest on the board: home keeps all three, and Rescan all there shows who moved.
