  Whether assistants find the company: search presence, Wikipedia and Wikidata, catalogues.
• 31Access, of 57
  Whether they can read it: the door, text without JavaScript, llms.txt, structured data.
• 23Usability, of 63
  Whether they can act through it: an MCP server, an API with a specification, sign-in for agents.

  No check in this layer applied to the site.

60 percent of the 132,085 domains Ora ranks score under 50, and the average score is 44.

Ora's one-line summary: CVS Health offers brand discoverability, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

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. MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.2 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found.
2. OpenAPI spec published, worth about 4.1 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.
3. OAuth 2.0 support, worth about 3.5 points by Ora's estimate: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

Our read

CVS Health is the better-built of the health groups read so far. All four agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the home page gives 4,230 characters at a 6.1 percent text ratio under a proper heading tree, five of five sampled pages read, the sitemap lists 1,163 pages and an llms.txt sits at developer.cvshealth.com, so the Access layer reads 31 of 57; the JSON-LD blocks are present but contain invalid JSON, and the metadata lacks its canonical URL and og:type. The act layer is a portal with the machine half missing: developer.cvshealth.com documents an API and describes scopes in prose, but Ora found no machine-verifiable surface and neither an OpenAPI specification nor OAuth discovery, and no MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 23 of 63. The domain ranks second for its insurance term and is confirmed on Wikipedia and Wikidata. Repairing the JSON-LD is a morning's work; the MCP server Ora values at 4.2 points is a quarter's.
