Orange scores 35 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 9 November 2026. At the door, site accessible to 6 AI agent user-agents. 3 of the 20 checklist rows with an Ora check are met. An open door onto 323 characters and a robots.txt served as HTML. On 9 November 2026 the public site at orange.com scored **35 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadychecklist.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Ora probes a site the way an agent would: it requests pages with the agents' own user agents, reads robots.txt, looks for the files agents read, and tries the API, MCP and payment surfaces. Below, each of the 31 checklist rows is read against the Ora checks the [crosswalk](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ora-checks/) names for it, so the result says which requirements this company meets, not only how many points it scored. Ora's one-line summary: Orange.com offers developer resource discoverability, but lacks a published OpenAPI specification. ## The score | Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Discovery | 7 of 10 | 70% | Can agents find and recommend it | | Access | 10 of 48 | 21% | Can agents read it | | Usability | 11 of 40 | 28% | Can agents use it | | Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay | | Total | 35 of 100 | 35% | Grade D | ## Row by row A row is met when every Ora check the crosswalk names for it passes, not met when every one fails, and partly when the checks disagree or one is partial. A row with no Ora check in the catalogue, or whose checks did not apply to this site, is marked as such; the [Verify Kit](https://agentreadychecklist.com/kit/) tests those by hand. | Row | Level | Result | Ora checks, and what Ora saw | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AR-FIND-01; Do not block agents | MUST | Met | robots.txt AI crawler policy (not applicable), robots.txt agent-user policy (not applicable), Agent crawler reachability (pass), Not blocked by bot detection (pass).; Reachable to all major AI crawlers - ChatGPT-User: reachable, ClaudeBot: reachable, Google-Extended: reachable, ora-agent: reachable, DeepSeekBot: reachable | | AR-FIND-02; Answers on one first-party page | SHOULD | No Ora check | No check in Ora's catalogue names this row. | | AR-FIND-03; Sitemap listed in robots.txt | SHOULD | Not met | Sitemap exists (fail).; No sitemap found | | AR-FIND-04; AI Catalog at .well-known | MAY | Partly | AI Catalog discovery (partial), ARD discovery (partial).; /.well-known/ai-catalog.json exists but is not valid JSON | | AR-READ-01; Answer in the initial HTML | MUST | Partly | Content without JavaScript (partial).; Only 323 chars of text content - agents see limited content | | AR-READ-02; Real HTTP status codes | MUST | Met | Redirect hygiene (pass).; Redirect hygiene: pass, 1 of 1. | | AR-READ-03; Home page with real links | SHOULD | Not met | Public API/docs linked from homepage (fail).; No public API or documentation page linked from homepage | | AR-READ-04; Docs that answer agent tasks | SHOULD | No Ora check | No check in Ora's catalogue names this row. | | AR-READ-05; Fenced, language-tagged code | SHOULD | No Ora check | Code fence validity (not applicable). | | AR-READ-06; Link the discovery files | SHOULD | No Ora check | No check in Ora's catalogue names this row. | | AR-READ-07; Ship llms.txt | SHOULD | Partly | llms.txt exists (partial), llms.txt formatting (fail), llms.txt links resolve (not applicable).; A file is present at https://orange.com/.well-known/llms.txt, but it returns an HTML page rather than a plain-text llms.txt. | | AR-READ-08; JSON-LD on key pages | SHOULD | Not met | JSON-LD structured data (fail).; No JSON-LD structured data found on homepage | | AR-READ-09; Advertise a markdown mirror | MAY | Not met | Markdown alternate link (fail).; No sampled page advertises a markdown alternate.

These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Orange, each tied to the checklist row whose recipes cover it. Public API with reachable endpoints Fail, 0 of 7, about 7.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated). No checklist row names this check. MCP server / manifest Fail, 0 of 6, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found. Row [AR-ACT-03](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-03/), MCP over Streamable HTTP. WebMCP support Fail, 0 of 5, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no tool-attribute forms and no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found. Row [AR-ACT-07](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-07/), WebMCP tools. OpenAPI spec published Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found. Row [AR-ACT-02](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-02/), OpenAPI contract. Brand name discoverability Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: orange.com appears once in brand-name search results for "orange" (position #6 out of 10). No checklist row names this check. ## Our read Orange's corporate domain is open and nearly empty. All six agent user agents Ora sent reached orange.com, but the home page gave them 323 characters of text, the least in this series so far, and three of the files the checklist asks for answer in the wrong format or not at all: robots.txt returns an HTML page, so the crawler policy cannot be read; the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns HTML as well; and there is no sitemap. No JSON-LD describes the company, and the act layer holds nothing an agent could call, with the Orange package on PyPI being a data-mining library rather than the operator's. Orange runs one of Europe's better-known developer programmes on its own subdomains; none of it is reachable from the group domain, and the group domain itself is a splash page as far as an agent can tell. A robots.txt that is a text file is where the fix list starts. ## Verify your own site The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadychecklist.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same four layers for your own site, then take each failing row to its recipe on this site. The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy. Payments did not apply to this company; a site that sells is read on that layer too.
