81 / 100Interrupt Score(range 50–100 · 8 properties unassessed)How much automated use this service interrupts — the badge-driving metric. Unassessed properties are provisionally scored at 50%; evidence-graded successes at 25%.
Custody / RiskUnknown

Verdict: An agent can discover on its own. Activate and operate are only partly probed. Manage isn't probed yet.

  1. DiscoverEasy
  2. ActivateIncomplete
  3. OperateIncomplete
  4. ManageNot yet probed

Capability parity

Each stage answers one question about what an agent can do unattended. Stages are ordered by the credential-gateway dependency: Activate issues the keys that unlock Operate and Manage. A row marked “Not yet probed” means no probe has tried that capability yet — a different ledger from the “unassessed” properties under Findings, where no probe tier capable of catching that interrupt has run.

Operate

Can an agent do the service's actual jobs — call, transact, pay?

Incomplete

Assessment incomplete - not yet probed: Pay via an agent rail (x402 / ACP / AP2).

  • Pay via an agent rail (x402 / ACP / AP2)Not yet probed

    No agent-payment metadata detected - payment rails not yet probed.

Manage

Can an agent administer the account and provision resources?

Not yet probed

No probe has attempted this stage yet: Provision / scale / tear down a service; Change account details / set budget / rotate keys; View usage & billing; Cancel / export / delete (offboard).

  • Provision / scale / tear down a serviceNot yet probed

    Not probed - provisioning is not part of the probe suite yet.

  • Change account details / set budget / rotate keysNot yet probed

    Not probed - account admin is not part of the probe suite yet.

  • View usage & billingNot yet probed

    Authenticated usage and billing access was not confirmed.

  • Cancel / export / delete (offboard)Not yet probed

    No self-serve cancellation, export, or deletion path was confirmed.

Interrupt tier: Low-Interrupt — no interrupts found; interrupt score 81 / 100 — the badge-driving metric. (range 50–100 · 8 unassessed)

Every tool starts at 100. Each interrupt found subtracts a penalty of base weight × timing × hardness × evidence — the multiplier values below come from the same rubric tables the score is computed with. New snapshots also provisionally subtract 50% of the full worst-case tax for each unassessed property and 25% for evidence-graded successes not live-verified by Tier 2.

Property coverage

A check only counts as clean when a probe tier capable of detecting that interrupt actually ran and found nothing. Not tested ≠ clean.

How we scored this

Machine-readability checks 47 / 100

Four check groups, equal weight: machine interfaces, browsing efficiency, element discoverability, and discovery/agent access. Each check carries an evidence grade (proven / plausible / emerging) — an honesty label that never weights the score. What these mean →
