-description: Scores a Postman collection or an OpenAPI spec for how well an AI agent can discover, understand, call, and recover from errors with it — missing examples, undocumented errors, and ambiguous parameters all cost points. Use when the user asks "is my API agent-ready," "can AI agents use my API," "how agent-friendly is my API," or wants to scan, score, or improve a collection or spec for AI/agent consumption. Covers `postman collection ai-readiness` and `postman spec ai-readiness`.
+description: Use when assessing or improving how well AI agents can discover, call, and recover from errors with an API.

 # AI Readiness
 
-## Overview
-
-An "agent-ready" API is one that an AI agent can discover, understand, call correctly, and recover from errors without human intervention. Most APIs aren't there yet.
-
-Two ways to run this check, same rubric family, different target — pick by what exists:
-
-- `collection ai-readiness <collectionId/path>` scores a Postman collection
-  — by cloud ID, local file path, or a `postman/collections/<name>`
-  local-mode directory.
-- `spec ai-readiness <spec>` scores an OpenAPI specification directly — by
-  cloud ID or local file path — with no collection involved at all.
-
-
-
-## Scoring
-
-The command computes and prints the score itself — read the fields it
-gives you, don't recompute them:
-
-- **`readiness`** (score 0-100 + bucket) is the headline number. Buckets,
-  low to high: **Limited → Fair → Good → Excellent**.
-- **`confidence`** (`high`/`medium`/`low`) says how many signals it
-  could actually measure vs. had to mark `unknown` — a data-quality
-  caveat, not part of the score.
-
-## Interpreting Results
-
-Report the bucket, score, and confidence the command actually printed
-— don't infer a percentage band. Doc coverage is a modifier via its
-adjustment, not a separate gate; call it out by name when it's `low`,
-since recommendations flag that first. Also state which verb ran
-(`collection` vs. `spec` `ai-readiness`), which target was scored
-(local path vs. cloud ID), the output mode, and — if `--min-score` was
-set — the resulting exit code, not just "it passed."
-
-You can ask user if they would like to set this check with a min score guarantee to run on their CI.
-
-## Reference
-
-- `collection-schema-v3` skill — what saved examples and descriptions look
-  like in the git-synced format this command reads.
-- `ci-integration` skill — where `--min-score` fits as a pipeline gate
-  alongside `spec lint`/`collection lint`/`workspace lint`.
+An agent must choose an operation, supply valid inputs, and interpret failures
+from the contract it can see. Postman's readiness check exposes gaps in that
+context—such as missing examples or ambiguous parameters—so improvements live
+in the shared contract instead of being rediscovered in each agent session.
+
+Skip scoring for a typo fix, a one-off endpoint check, or a task that changes
+neither the contract nor agent usability; inspect the relevant fields or use
+**api-testing** instead. Score when prioritizing consumability improvements,
+checking their effect, or enforcing an agreed readiness gate.
+
+1. Score the artifact consumers actually use. `postman collection ai-readiness
+   <path-or-id>` reads a collection, including a local v3 directory;
+   `postman spec ai-readiness <path-or-id>` reads an OpenAPI spec directly.
+   Generating a collection solely to score a spec adds a second artifact
+   without improving the evidence. Use the installed command's `-h` for options.
+2. Use the reported `readiness` score and bucket (Limited, Fair, Good,
+   Excellent). Keep `confidence` separate: low confidence means signals could
+   not be measured, so even a high score may leave consequential unknowns.
+   Report low documentation coverage when flagged; it modifies the score
+   rather than acting as an independent pass/fail gate.
+3. Prioritize gaps that would change a caller's behavior: unclear required
+   inputs, missing auth instructions, or errors with no recovery guidance.
+   Establish the actual behavior before adding descriptions or examples;
+   invented certainty can raise apparent completeness while misleading agents.
+   See **api-documentation** for improving the authoritative contract and
+   **collection-schema-v3** for saved examples.
+4. Re-run against the edited artifact to show which measured gaps closed.
+   A readiness score measures consumability, not live correctness; use
+   **api-testing** when the claim also depends on API behavior.
+5. A `--min-score` gate is useful when the team wants to prevent readiness
+   regressions. Choose the threshold from its baseline and expectations;
+   keep it separate from tests and lint through **ci-integration** so a failure
+   identifies the kind of regression.
+
+## Verification
+
+Report the target, collection/spec mode, actual score, bucket, confidence,
+and remaining gaps. If a threshold ran, include its exit code; a successful
+scan alone does not establish that the threshold passed.
