Agent readiness · Observability and logging
newrelic.com
8 of 14 measurable points under formula 9.2, measured on 2026-08-12. 15 checks exist; each is one HTTP request with a published rule, so every sentence below can be rerun and argued with. 1 of them could not be measured from where we ask, and those are left out of the denominator rather than counted as failures.
A · Discovery
- PASSAnswers an agent user-agentAnswered 200 to LetAgentsIn/1.0 (+https://letagentsin.com/methodology)
- FAILllms.txt publishedllms.txt present at https://newrelic.com/llms.txt, but 1 of the 12 links we sampled across the file are gone, starting with https://newrelic.com/resources/report/state-of-observability-for-retail-ecommerce-2025
- PASSDocs readable without JavaScript6,175 characters of text without JS, on https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/logs/get-started/get-started-log-management/ rather than on https://docs.newrelic.com
- PASSOn-demand agents not blockedNo on-demand agent is blocked
- N/APaths robots.txt points at answerrobots.txt names no concrete path, only patterns or nothing, so there is no claim to check
- PASSNo punishing crawl delayNo Crawl-delay applies to the agents we check
B · Agent entry
- UNMEASUREDAgent 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.
- PASSOAuth dynamic client registrationregistration_endpoint published, but none of the 2 advertised grants (authorization_code, refresh_token) finishes without a person at a browser
- PASSMCP surfaceLive MCP endpoint at https://mcp.newrelic.com/mcp, answered 401 with an auth challenge
C · Registration
- FAILNo CAPTCHA in the signup HTMLrecaptcha appears in the signup page's server HTML
- PASSSignup reachable without a browserForm renders in server HTML at https://newrelic.com/signup
D · Provisioning
- FAILProgrammatic key provisioningNone of the 7 provisioning phrases appears in the 5 documents we read
- PASSFree tier or no-card trial stated in textFree tier or no-card signals at https://newrelic.com/pricing: "No credit card", "free tier", "Get Started Free"
E · Integration
- FAILTyped SDK on the registrynewrelic ships without bundled types, matched from the registry by who publishes it rather than by a link on your site
- FAILMachine-readable API descriptionNo OpenAPI spec at the 5 usual paths, none declared by https://docs.newrelic.com, and no markdown negotiationPoint at your spec from your docs page with rel="service-desc" and an agent finds it without guessing.
Tell me when this changes
The failures here are the kind nobody notices. An edge rule that starts refusing agents changes nothing a person sees in a browser, so the first sign is usually an integration that quietly stopped working. We rescan weekly and write only when a verdict moves.
This page is the newest scan we hold for newrelic.com and changes when we rescan. It is not a judgement of the product: we measure whether an unattended run can get through, not whether the thing is any good. The whole corpus is published as JSON and CSV.
