# monday.com: agentic web grade A+

Score 80 (coverage 50 + breadth 15 + conformance 15); 7 standards observed across 5 of 9 steps; checked 2026-10-25T03:15:44Z. This grades the agent-facing files published at monday.com, not the organisation's products.

## Manifests

| Manifest | Path | Result | Errors | Warnings |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Agentic Resource Discovery | /.well-known/ard.json | absent HTTP 404 |  |  |
| AI Catalog well-known file | /.well-known/ai-catalog.json | absent HTTP 404 |  |  |
| MCP Server Cards (SEP-2127) | /mcp/server-card | timeout |  | not fetched: timeout |
| Agent2Agent Protocol | /.well-known/agent-card.json | valid |  | supportedInterfaces missing; A2A 1.0 cards declare interfaces there (url, protocolBinding, protocolVersion) and the top-level url is the 0.3 shape; protocolVersion missing; clients cannot tell which A2A revision the card follows |
| llms.txt | /llms.txt | valid |  |  |
| AGENTS.md | /AGENTS.md | absent HTTP 404 |  |  |
| Agent Skills | /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json | valid |  |  |
| api-catalog: A Well-Known URI and Link Relation to Help Discovery of APIs | /.well-known/api-catalog | valid |  |  |
| AI Crawler User-Agent Tokens in robots.txt | /robots.txt | valid |  | no Agentmap: line (optional convention pointing agents at /.well-known/ard.json) |
| security.txt (RFC 9116) | /.well-known/security.txt | absent HTTP 404 |  |  |
| auth.md | /auth.md | absent HTTP 404 |  |  |

## Cheapest next steps

1. Agentic Resource Discovery: a catalog at /.well-known/ard.json lets agents discover your APIs, MCP servers and data in one fetch (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/ard/)
2. AGENTS.md: instructions for coding agents working on or with the site (https://agenticweb.wiki/protocols/agents-md/)
3. security.txt (RFC 9116): RFC 9116 contact and expiry, read by agents and people (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9116)

## Agent pre-flight & practical readiness

Preferred mode: `a2a` (fallback `agent_skills`). Send the task to the A2A agent endpoint named in the card. Use the card's skills instead of crawling pages.

Fetch: `POST https://mcp.monday.com/mcp` Send an A2A message to this agent endpoint. The card lists the skills.

Practical readability: exa_parsable yes, markdown negotiation no, render `none`, HTML quality `none`.

AI crawler posture: `open_to_all` · Assistant access: OpenAI `partial`, Anthropic `partial`, Google `partial`, Perplexity `partial`, Exa `partial`.

Readiness subscores: reach 20/20, readability 10/30, capabilities 17/35, conformance 15/15, total 62/100, grade B.

## Rubric

+10 per lifecycle step with a standard observed, counting manifests that validate or that the probe rule for the standard recognises (a valid MCP server card counts for MCP; max 90); +3 per observed standard beyond the first two (max 15); conformance +15 (+10 with one manifest) minus 5 per agent-facing manifest with errors, never below 0 (security.txt is reported, not scored). Lifecycle grade: A+ >= 60, A >= 45, B >= 30, C >= 20, D >= 10. Strict 100-point composite (subscores.total_100 / subscores.grade_100): reach_and_policy (20) + readability (30) + capabilities (35) + conformance (15), where A+ >= 80, A >= 65, B >= 45, C >= 28, D >= 15.
