precheck | Check if an AI agent can reach checkout on a store before trying. Saved automated HTTP check for a product or store URL. Uses ARC's saved directory, rails, store answers and check history. When those have no row, uses the plain-HTTP checker. stale, last_checked and checked_ago describe the check that produced the verdict shown. lastReachableCheck is a separate, newer plain-HTTP time. It does not r params: url* |
find_agent_ready_stores | Find stores where a saved check shows an AI agent can reach checkout, for running shoes, beauty, clothing, home goods, or another product need. Reads real HTTP agent-catalog checks from the last thirty days whose catalog found a product and returned a checkout link. This is not a completed order. One tested product is not a promise about another item. No login, browser scan, or model call. Results params: category, q, limit |
can_agent_checkout | Call when you need a saved checkout-link check for any public store URL, not only Index brands. Saved HTTP checkout check for a public homepage or product URL: catalog, product, checkout link, UCP profile, blocks, and one fix. No login, model call, payment, or browser scan. Uses ARC's last check (cached up to 24 hours). A missing result is unknown, not a no. A checkout link means reach checkout, n params: url* |
ask_arc | Read whether an AI agent can reach checkout for a brand the ARC Index already lists. No login and no new scan. Pass a brand, URL, or category. Returns the score, evidence, and both lanes: the agent-catalog HTTP check and the browser cart. The JSON field `agents_can_buy` is true when the catalog returned a checkout link or a browser shopper added the product to the cart. ARC stops before payment. I params: url, brand, category, q |
agent_commerce_adoption | Read ARC's agent commerce adoption counts, category and commerce platform rates from saved HTTP checks, including Checkout WebMCP among measured Shopify checkouts, with unknown and not checked separate; shopper approval required.

get_agent_facts | Read free ARC agent facts for a store or product with no login. Returns TypeSafe Jev typed decisions (use-case mention, price clarity, agent-friendly description, cart-blocker suspicion, readiness score) from an HTTP scrape.

dataset_info | Latest open ARC dataset snapshot (start with store_answers: one plain answer per store on whether AI agents can find products and get a checkout link): immutable versioned download URLs plus latest/ aliases (CSV and Parquet), row counts, method version and licence (CC-BY-4.0, attribution ARC, arcreport.ai). Reads only. params: none |
protocol_matrix | Read ARC's neutral Protocol Matrix: for UCP, ACP, PAP, WebMCP, MCP and agent payment protocols, how many checked stores declare, validate, answer and transact, with evidence labels (Measured / Inferred / Not measured). Saved checks only; no store requests or model calls. CC-BY-4.0. params: protocol |
agent_leaderboard | Read ARC's open agent leaderboard: cart success over the fixed ARC-100 v1 test set for each agent path ARC measures (ARC browser shoppers A-E, the UCP path, the storefront MCP path), with n, dates, evidence labels and Wilson 95% intervals, plus unverified outside submissions. Saved results only; no store requests or model calls. CC-BY-4.0. params: include_stores |
submit_leaderboard_run | Submit your agent's run against ARC-100 v1 to ARC's open leaderboard. Free. The run is listed as 'unverified' until ARC re-runs a sample.

Same as POST /api/leaderboard/submit. params: spec*, test_set*, agent*, run*, results*, contact |
submit_store | Add stores to ARC's free, open agent-commerce directory (CC-BY dataset). Pass url for one store or hosts for up to 50. Each new host is validated (live HTTPS, not parked, not redirecting to another brand); accepted hosts are queued for ARC's plain-HTTP rails checks (UCP, WebMCP, MCP, policies, product data) and appear in the dataset with source=submitted. No model calls, no login. Rate limited per params: url, hosts, category |
store_card | Read a public store card and saved brand claim. No outbound fetch or model calls. Brand statements are from the brand and not measured by ARC; claims never change scores. params: host* |
validate_ucp_profile | Validate a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) business profile against the published UCP JSON Schema (current release) and spec rules: authority binding, https endpoints, orphaned extensions and, for a URL, hosting headers (no redirects, Cache-Control public max-age>=60).
