What Orbilo checks

The two standards, the two questions, and what the product actually does.

Orbilo answers two questions about your website, continuously.

Can an AI agent use this site? We run the published standards against your site and grade the result. That is a check, and it is an opinion formed from outside.

Which of your tools do agents use? If your site offers WebMCP tools, a one-line script reports which are called and which fail. This is optional and applies only to sites that offer tools.

The first question is the product; the second is an addition to it.

The two standards

UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) is a public JSON profile at /.well-known/ucp that describes what your business sells and how to transact with it. It is commerce-specific. If you do not sell anything, it does not apply to you, and we say so rather than grading you against it.

WebMCP is a browser API that lets a page hand an assistant a set of tools it can call — search this catalogue, add this to the cart. It applies to almost any interactive site.

The industry pages set out which standard applies to each kind of site.

Why this needs monitoring rather than a one-off check

Nothing tells you when this breaks.

There is no error, no console warning, and no drop in any dashboard you already watch. A profile that starts redirecting to www after a DNS change is invisible to every agent and looks completely fine in a browser. A platform update that strips a Cache-Control header breaks conformance without touching a single line of your code.

The failure mode of agent readiness is silence, which is exactly the failure mode that a daily check catches and a person never does.

What you get

You can run a check without an account. Everything else needs one.
