Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: the WAF blocks the homepage and there is no OpenAPI spec, OAuth, or MCP server.
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.
| Check | Result | What Ora saw |
|---|---|---|
| Not blocked by bot detection | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot. A challenge is an identity check that verified crawlers pass. |
| Agent crawler reachability | Partial, 0 of 2 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass, so reachability is undetermined rather than blocked (ChatGPT-User: challenged). |
| robots.txt AI crawler policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for search crawlers: WAF/bot challenge (HTTP 403) |
| robots.txt agent-user policy | Did not apply, 0 of 2 | Cannot verify robots.txt permission for user-triggered agents: WAF/bot challenge (HTTP 403) |
| Content without JavaScript | Partial, 0 of 3 | Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents |
| Homepage not hidden from search | Did not apply, 0 of 1 | Homepage blocked by WAF - cannot read its indexing directives |
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.
| Check | Result | What Ora saw |
|---|---|---|
| llms.txt exists | Fail, 0 of 1 | No llms.txt found at /llms.txt or /.well-known/llms.txt. |
| llms.txt formatting | Fail, 0 of 2 | No llms.txt found to evaluate quality |
| Markdown agent docs | Fail, 0 of 1 | Missing markdown content negotiation. Homepage returned text/html when probed with Accept: text/markdown (expected text/markdown), and none of the well-known root paths (/llms.md, /auth.md, /agents.md, /developers.md). |
| Bot-UA markdown serving | Did not apply, 0 of 1 | Site is behind a WAF/bot wall - cannot probe bot-UA serving |
| JSON-LD structured data | Partial, 0 of 4 | Homepage blocked by WAF - cannot check structured data |
| Organization schema completeness | Partial, 0 of 2 | Homepage blocked by WAF - cannot check Organization schema |
| Sitemap exists | Fail, 0 of 2 | No sitemap found |
| Metadata completeness | Partial, 0 of 2 | Homepage blocked by WAF - cannot check metadata |
| Page token budget | Did not apply, 0 of 1 | Nothing sampled to measure |
| Check | Result | What Ora saw |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server / manifest | Fail, 0 of 6 | No MCP server or manifest found |
| MCP well-known discovery | Fail, 0 of 2 | No MCP server URL discovered |
| Public API with reachable endpoints | Pass, 7 of 7 | GraphQL endpoint at https://global.toyota/graphql is reachable; introspection requires authentication (API key / OAuth), which is expected for agent access. Best-of-protocols score: 7/7. |
| Public API/docs linked from homepage | Partial, 0 of 3 | Homepage blocked by WAF - cannot check for docs links |
| OpenAPI spec published | Fail, 0 of 7 | No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found |
| Developer portal | Fail, 0 of 6 | No developer portal found |
| OAuth 2.0 support | Fail, 0 of 5 | No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected |
| Scoped permissions | Fail, 0 of 5 | No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found |
| Multi-language SDK packages | Fail, 0 of 3 | No SDK packages found across language ecosystems |
| CLI tool available | Fail, 0 of 3 | No CLI tool found |
| WebMCP support | Fail, 0 of 5 | No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found |
| Check | Result | What Ora saw |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia / Wikidata entity presence | Partial, 2 of 4 | Wikidata Q53268 (Toyota) verified - draft a Wikipedia page with cited references to complete knowledge graph coverage |
| Brand name discoverability | Pass, 3 of 3 | global.toyota ranks #3 for "global.toyota" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site) |
| Category share of voice | Did not apply, 0 of 6 | Category share of voice is in beta. It measures whether agents surface you for capability and use-case searches (not just your name). |
| Developer resource discoverability | Fail, 0 of 3 | In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs |
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.
- Developer resource discoverability, worth about 6.7 points by Ora's estimate: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.
- OpenAPI spec published, worth about 5 points by Ora's estimate: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.
- MCP server / manifest, worth about 4.6 points by Ora's estimate: No MCP server or manifest found.
Our read
Toyota's global site challenges every agent Ora sent: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot all met bot management, robots.txt answered 403, and the home page returned a security page, so the Access layer reads 0 of 47 and every reading row behind the door is unverified. One thing did answer. A GraphQL endpoint at global.toyota/graphql is reachable and asks for authentication before introspection, which is the right shape for an agent-facing API. Around it there is nothing else: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, and no OAuth or MCP server, so the Usability layer reads 7 of 58. Discovery is 5 of 10: Wikidata confirms the domain, Wikipedia does not, and the brand search ran on the string global.toyota. The world's largest carmaker has a site that asks every assistant to prove it is human; the challenge is the decision, and nothing else on this page moves until it changes.
