Counts show sites using each one. - Astro: 0 sites - Lovable: 0 sites - [Next.js](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&platform=nextjs): 1 site - Nuxt: 0 sites - SvelteKit: 0 sites - WordPress: 0 sites ## Signals Each one you pick narrows the list: a site must have them all. ### Agent capabilities - API catalog: 1 site, selected ([remove](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md)). Lists the site's public APIs in one standard place, so an agent can find and use them without reading the docs. A bonus: it earns a badge and never costs points. - auth.md: 0 sites. A simple file that tells AI agents how to sign in and get access. A bonus: it earns a badge and never costs points. - A2A agent card: 0 sites. Describes the site's own AI agent in the A2A format, so other agents can find it and hand it work. A bonus: it earns a badge and never costs points. - Agent Skills index: 0 sites. Lists reusable instructions the site publishes for AI agents, with descriptions and download locations. The index earns a badge; the skill downloads themselves are not verified. - Web Bot Auth: 0 sites. Publishes the keys the site's own bots sign their requests with, so other websites can verify them. The badge checks the keys; the bots' requests are not observed. - ACP commerce: 0 sites. Publishes how agents can connect to its Agentic Commerce Protocol integration. The badge confirms discovery metadata; purchases are not tested. ### Standards - [llms.txt](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=llms-txt): 1 site. A short guide to the site written for AI models: what it is and which pages matter most. - [robots.txt](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=robots-txt): 1 site. The file that tells crawlers where they may go. Every other rule a site gives to bots starts here. - [Sitemap](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=sitemap): 1 site. A list of the site's pages, so a bot sees everything that exists instead of guessing from links. - [Descriptive llms.txt](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=llms-txt-quality): 1 site. The llms.txt describes what is behind each link, so a model knows which pages are worth reading. - [llms-full.txt or .md pages](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=llms-full-txt): 1 site. The content is also available as plain Markdown, in one llms-full.txt file or as separate .md pages. Models can read it without the HTML. - [Markdown negotiation](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=markdown-negotiation): 1 site. Pages come back as clean Markdown when a bot asks for it: just the content, without menus, styling and scripts. - [AI crawler rules](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=ai-crawler-rules&capability=api-catalog): 1 site. The site says which AI bots may visit, for training, search or answering questions. Blocking some is fine; what counts is making a choice. - [Content Signals](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=content-signals): 1 site. The site says how its content may be used: for search, in AI answers or to train AI. Any mix of yes and no counts. - [schema.org JSON-LD](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=schema-org): 1 site. Structured data on the homepage says what the site is, such as a company, a product or an article, so machines don't have to guess. - [Semantic HTML](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=semantic-html): 1 site. The page has a clear structure: a main content area, headings in order, a header and a footer. A bot can tell the content from the rest. - [Crawlable navigation](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=crawlable-navigation): 1 site. Observed homepage navigation exposes usable page addresses and section targets in HTML. Destinations are not fetched by this check. - [Named links and buttons](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=control-names): 1 site. Links and buttons in the collected homepage HTML have names recoverable from text, labels or native alternatives, including icon controls. - [Named form fields](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=form-semantics): 1 site. Observed homepage fields have recoverable names and recognizable input semantics. Submission behavior is not tested. - [Control roles and states](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=control-semantics): 1 site. Homepage controls meet static checks for roles, required states and relationship targets, using native HTML semantics where available. - [Typed links](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md?capability=api-catalog&capability=link-headers): 1 site. The page links to versions made for machines, such as a Markdown copy or an API description, so an agent can go straight to them. - Canonical URL: 0 sites. Each page names the one address that should be indexed and cited, so an agent quoting it links to the right URL. - Working section links: 0 sites. Links to part of a page, such as a table of contents or a skip link, lead to that section instead of the top of the page. [Clear signals](https://goodforbots.com/directory/category/developer-tools.md) ## About Developer Tools & APIs An API can be excellent and its website still leave an agent unsure how to begin. A product name and a dashboard screenshot do not explain what an endpoint does, where the reference lives, or which credentials a caller needs. The public site is the bridge between discovering a tool and deciding whether it fits a task. This category includes developer services, SDKs, command-line tools and API products. Useful public material connects the overview to concrete examples, authentication guidance and limits. Machine-readable discovery can provide another entry point, but the explanation should remain intelligible to someone encountering the product for the first time. A detected [API catalog](https://goodforbots.com/standards#api-catalog) or [authentication document](https://goodforbots.com/standards#auth-md) helps locate an interface. Our scanner does not run the integration or establish permission to use it. ## What to look for Use these questions when reading the sites themselves. They are guidance for this category, not additional scoring checks. ### A concrete first request A worked example should show what goes in and what comes back. A feature list alone cannot tell an agent how the service fits a workflow. ### Authentication explained Public guidance should distinguish discovering an API from obtaining permission to call it, with a clear route to the appropriate credentials. ### Limits where readers can find them Usage limits, error handling and version policy belong near the reference. They affect whether an integration will work beyond its first request. ### Discovery backed by documentation Follow discovered catalogs and capability descriptions through to their references. A machine-readable entry is most useful when the surrounding documentation explains its boundaries. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you call the API during a scan? The scanner collects public web evidence and discovery documents. It does not run an authenticated integration or test the provider's business operations. ### Does an API catalog add score points? API Catalog is a capability in our rubric. A detected capability earns a badge, not points; the readability score is calculated separately. ### Can a developer tool appear without a public API? Yes. SDKs, local tools and developer services belong here too. Category membership does not assert that a public API exists.
