How the grade is worked out
Tools carry a grade out of 100, derived from stored evidence whenever this page is built rather than stored as a verdict, so it can never drift from what it was based on. Nothing here is self-reported, and no vendor can submit a correction that is not simply a change to their own product.
Bands: A from 75, B from 55, C from 30, D from 15, F from 0. A repository counts as maintained when it is not archived and has a commit inside 12 months. Grades below C are not published: not shipping an llms.txt or an MCP server is an ordinary thing for a good product to be, and this directory is not in the business of printing a failing mark on someone else’s work.
Structured data on a vendor’s own pages is deliberately worth nothing here. Our checks read server-rendered HTML, so JSON-LD added by client-side JavaScript would be invisible to them - scoring it would measure a rendering choice rather than agent-readiness, and would count against single-page apps for something we cannot actually see.

How to read this
Every fact on this page is copied from the product's own site or repository and dated. We do not test these tools hands-on, and the criteria are structural (what a product publishes) rather than qualitative (how well it works). Pricing is read off each product's own pricing page and carries the date it was read, so check the current page before budgeting. Where a product does not state something, the table says so instead of guessing.
