You publish files for machines to read, but nothing that tells one how to become a customer.

None of the nine known agent entry paths answered, including /agent-signup.md and /.well-known/agent-access.json. Reading is solved on your site; joining is not.

This is the whole list: everything we could measure and you do not pass. Another 4 points sit behind checks we could not evaluate on your domain, and each of those lines below says what would make it measurable.

OAuth dynamic client registrationa project · +1
Your OAuth metadata is already published and has no registration_endpoint in it. Adding that one field is the whole change: RFC 7591 is the only standard way an agent registers itself without a human.

Then, when you have room

MCP surface a project · +1You already talk about MCP, and nothing answered at the addresses named above. If your server is at another path, declare it at /.well-known/mcp.json: that file is what an agent reads first, and it is what makes the path stop mattering.
Signup reachable without a browser a project · +1Let https://console.cloudinary.com/signup render its form in server HTML and stop refusing non-browser requests to it.

4 of the checks an agent depends on, cloudinary.com does not pass.

None of this tells you whether an agent picked you

Everything above is a file an agent could read. Whether one actually chose you is a different measurement, and we have not run it on cloudinary.com. What we have run it on is a rich text editor vendor: six agents, one brief, six isolated copies of a real codebase. All six picked the same competitor, and the vendor being studied was never named, not even on a rejection list, while the runs named and dismissed ten alternatives between them. In an earlier round, run before we isolated the copies, it was named twice and struck off both times in four words: Fully commercial, licence key required. That study is about them, not about you. It is here because it is the difference between a file and a decision.

Every check

Each line is one HTTP observation with a published rule, so you can rerun any of them yourself. Most are the same tomorrow if you are: the two that are not are the bot gate and the pricing page, which answer inconsistently on their own, which is why those run more than once and say so when the tries disagreed. PASS and PART are counted. UNMEASURED means we could not evaluate it, N/A means it does not apply to a product like yours, and neither is in the score or its denominator. See the formula

A · Discovery

B · Agent entry

UNMEASURED
Agent entry pointUnmeasurable: 4 of the 9 known agent entry paths answered with a refusal rather than a file or a 404, so what you publish there is not something we measuredLet ordinary HTTP reach these paths and this becomes measurable.
FAIL
OAuth dynamic client registrationOAuth metadata published, but no registration_endpoint in itRFC 7591 is the only standard path by which an agent can register itself without a human.
FAIL
MCP surfaceMCP mentioned 4x in your own files, but nothing answered at mcp.cloudinary.com, mcp.cloudinary.com/mcp, mcp.cloudinary.com/v1/mcp, api.cloudinary.com/mcp, /mcp or /api/mcpAn MCP server turns your API from something an agent reads about into something it can call.

C · Registration

UNMEASURED
No CAPTCHA in the signup HTMLUnmeasurable: the signup form at https://console.cloudinary.com/signup is not in the server HTML, so its gates are not eitherServer-render the form, or tell us the endpoint it posts to, and the gates become visible to us and to an agent.
FAIL
Signup reachable without a browserhttps://console.cloudinary.com/signup is reachable, but its form needs JavaScriptIf a bare HTTP request gets a 403, the agent never sees the form at all.
