What an assistant meets at the door

Before an assistant can read, compare or buy, it has to get in. These rows are the door: whether the bot shield lets the main agents through, what robots.txt tells the search, training and user-triggered agents, and whether the home page has text without running JavaScript.

What it can read, and what it can do

The reading layer is what an assistant takes away from the pages: a text file written for it, markdown on request, structured data about the company, a sitemap. The act layer is whether it can do anything through a published interface rather than by clicking through the site.

The six payment checks did not apply on this read: Ora did not read the site as a shop.

Three fixes to hand to the web team

Ora estimates how many points each open check would return. These are the largest on this read, in Ora's words where it gave them, so a leader can hand the list over without translating it.

1. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.9 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.
2. Developer resource discoverability, worth about 4.8 points by Ora's estimate: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.
3. MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.2 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found.

Our read

Cencora reads better than its D suggests. All four agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the home page gives 4,638 characters at a 10 percent text ratio under one H1 and nine H2s, five of five sampled pages read, the sitemap lists 1,192 pages, an llms.txt sits at cencora.com/llms.txt and the Organization block lacks only its description, so the Access layer reads 26 of 48. The grade is earned on the act layer: a GraphQL endpoint at api.cencora.com answers and gates introspection behind a key, which is normal, but there is neither a documentation page nor a developer portal, no OpenAPI specification, and no MCP server or OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 18 of 64. The domain ranks ninth for its own corporate name, and a search for its API documentation returned none of its pages in ten results. A distributor that moves a large share of America's medicines has an API with no front door; an OpenAPI specification, about 4.9 points, would be it.
