Tools that check AI agent readiness: scanners and services
What each one looks at, in its own words, so you can pick by the question you need answered.
Am I Ready for Agents? editors · Reviewed September 2026
Several public scanners test whether a site's public pages work for agents, and several services handle part of the job, from bot control to fraud. We list them alphabetically with what each checks, from its own pages. We do not score or rank them.

ora.ai

- What you get
- A grade from A+ (95–100, Leading) to F (0–27, Unusable), a report page per domain, and the same scan from a command-line tool (ax) and an MCP server.
- Limits it states
- Public URLs only; cannot scan private or internal sites or login-gated content.
- Price
- Not stated. The home page offers a waitlist; ora.ai's llms.txt says reads are open and need no key.

Which one should I use?
Pick by the question. To see whether agents can find and read your public pages, any of the scanners above will do, and running two shows where their checks differ. To see what happens when an agent tries a task, you need a tool that runs an agent: on this list, ora.ai says its Scan and Journey do. To see who is visiting, start with the analytics your CDN or host already provides. Automated tools work on public pages: ora.ai, for example, states that it cannot scan login-gated content.
Why no scores or ranking?
The tools check different things, and change often. A ranking would add little and could mislead. We describe what each one checks, from its own pages, and leave the choice to you.
