> Navan and what it offers to agents

Short notes an agent should know before using the site: what it is for, who runs it, how to cite it.

## Docs
- [Getting started](https://navan.com/docs/getting-started): the first page to read
- [API reference](https://navan.com/openapi.json): OpenAPI description

## Optional
- [Changelog](https://navan.com/changelog): what changed, newest first
  2. Agentic Resource Discovery: a catalog at /.well-known/ard.json lets agents discover your APIs, MCP servers and data in one fetch (emerging spec — publish only if you run the underlying endpoints; generate via MCP template({"id": "ard", "domain": "navan.com"}))
  3. AGENTS.md: instructions for coding agents working on or with the site

Agent pre-flight & practical readiness

Preferred mode: markdown_negotiation. GET / with Accept: text/markdown. The origin already serves a Markdown body for agents. navan.com publishes no root agent discovery manifests, but docs.navan.com serves /llms.txt (14 links). Probe docs.navan.com or publish /.well-known/ard.json on navan.com to link them.

Fetch: GET https://navan.com/ GET / with Accept: text/markdown. The origin negotiates a Markdown body.

Subdomain discovery hint (subdomain_stranded): navan.com publishes no root agent discovery manifests, but docs.navan.com serves /llms.txt (14 links). Probe docs.navan.com or publish /.well-known/ard.json on navan.com to link them. (check docs.navan.com)

Practical readability: exa_parsable yes, markdown negotiation yes, render markdown_native, HTML quality high, first content at byte 0.

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

Readiness subscores: reach 20/20, readability 30/30, capabilities 2/35, conformance 10/15, total 62/100, grade B.

How the grade is made

+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. Errors are specification violations; warnings are best-practice gaps. Only public paths are fetched, without credentials, so standards that need a login (skipped in the probe) are not counted either way. The same report is the validate_manifest tool on the MCP server.
