OpenAPI for AI agents
Check if your OpenAPI spec is ready for agent use.
An OpenAPI file can be valid and still be risky for AI agents. TimeProofs AgentReady checks whether endpoints, schemas, descriptions and dangerous actions are explicit enough before agent-facing use.
What makes OpenAPI agent-ready?
- Operation names are specific enough for tool selection.
- Descriptions explain when to use and when not to use endpoints.
- Dangerous actions require confirmation.
- Parameters have clear bounds, enums and examples.
- Error responses help agents stop, correct or retry safely.
Common failure patterns
POST /refunds without confirmation rules.DELETE endpoints without recovery notes.- Broad exports without filters or scope limits.
- Free-text fields where enums should exist.
- Generic 500 errors with no corrective guidance.
AgentReady output
The scanner returns an AgentReady Score, severity counts, endpoint findings, recommended fixes, a Markdown report and a reusable agentready.json contract.
The analysis runs locally in the browser. It does not call your uploaded API endpoints.
Limit
TimeProofs AgentReady does not guarantee that an AI agent will never fail. It identifies structural risks that may cause AI agents to misuse APIs, tools or MCP servers.
AgentReady at a glance
OpenAPI readiness for AI agents means checking whether operations, schemas, descriptions and dangerous actions are explicit enough before agent-facing use. AgentReady is a product and candidate open standard for static pre-deployment analysis. It is not a runtime firewall, independent certification, official standards-body standard or guaranteed-safety system.
- Community
