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.

Fix this first

+5points, taking 8/15 to 13/15, past ckeditor.com, tiptap.dev

This is the whole list: everything we could measure and you do not pass. Another 2 points sit behind checks we could not evaluate on your domain, and each of those lines below says what would make it measurable.

  1. 1
    Agent entry pointan afternoon · +2

    Publish /agent-signup.md: the path from nothing to a working key, written as steps for a machine rather than a tour for a person. Ours is at /agent-signup.md if you want a worked example, and it says plainly that we have nothing to sign up for.

  2. 2
    Programmatic key provisioningan afternoon · +2

    Document how a key is created without opening a dashboard: management API, service account or CLI. If no such path exists, that gap is the finding, not the docs.

  3. 3
    Machine-readable API descriptionan afternoon · +1

    Publish an OpenAPI file at /openapi.json, or serve markdown when a client sends Accept: text/markdown. Either one stops agents guessing your API.

Then, when you have room

  • MCP surface a project · +1Wrap your top three API calls in an MCP server and declare it at /.well-known/mcp.json.
  • Signup reachable without a browser a project · +1Let https://www.tiny.cloud/auth/signup/ render its form in server HTML and stop refusing non-browser requests to it.

Take it with you

6 of the checks an agent depends on, tiny.cloud 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 tiny.cloud. 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.

Against embeddable rich text editors

You are 5 of 10 in a category where a developer is trying to put a real editor inside a product.

Only domains we have actually scanned appear here, so the ranking is a floor: a competitor missing from the list has not been measured, not beaten.

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

  • PASS
    Answers an agent user-agentAnswered 200 to LetAgentsIn/1.0 (+https://letagentsin.com/methodology)
  • PASS

  • PASS
    Docs readable without JavaScript16,939 characters of text without JS, on https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/7/invalid-api-key/ rather than on https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/latest/
  • PASS
    On-demand agents not blockedNo on-demand agent is blocked
  • N/A
    Paths robots.txt points at answerrobots.txt names no concrete path, only patterns or nothing, so there is no claim to check
  • PASS
    No punishing crawl delayNo Crawl-delay applies to the agents we check

B · Agent entry

  • FAIL
    Agent entry pointNone of the 9 known agent entry paths returns a file rather than your page shellA markdown file written for a machine turns a guessing game into a procedure it can follow.
  • PASS
    OAuth dynamic client registrationregistration_endpoint published, and client_credentials is among the 13 advertised grants, so an unattended agent has a documented path to a token
  • FAIL
    MCP surfaceNo MCP surface: nothing answered at mcp.tiny.cloud, mcp.tiny.cloud/mcp, mcp.tiny.cloud/v1/mcp, api.tiny.cloud/mcp, /mcp or /api/mcp, and no file mentions 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://www.tiny.cloud/auth/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://www.tiny.cloud/auth/signup/ is reachable, but its form needs JavaScriptIf a bare HTTP request gets a 403, the agent never sees the form at all.

D · Provisioning

  • FAIL
    Programmatic key provisioningNone of the 7 provisioning phrases appears in the 5 documents we readDocumented key creation is the difference between a two-minute integration and a support ticket.
  • PASS
    Free tier or no-card trial stated in textFree tier or no-card signals at https://www.tiny.cloud/pricing/: "Free Trial", "$0"

E · Integration

  • PASS

  • FAIL
    Machine-readable API descriptionNo OpenAPI spec at the 5 usual paths, none declared by https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/latest/, and no markdown negotiationAn OpenAPI file or markdown negotiation lets an agent read your API instead of guessing it.Point at your spec from your docs page with rel="service-desc" and an agent finds it without guessing.

Your package declares SEE LICENSE IN license.md rather than a plain licence identifier. We do not score this, because a commercial licence is a business model, not a defect. We report it because in six agent runs on a comparable decision, every model that hit a licence key requirement dropped that vendor in one line, without opening the product. What the runs showed
