Philips scores 39 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 9 November 2026. At the door, site accessible to 4 agent user-agents (ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot). 4 of the 21 checklist rows with an Ora check are met. A developer portal the home page does not mention, on a page agents can barely read. On 9 November 2026 the public site at philips.com scored **39 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: Philips maintains strong brand discoverability and indexing, but lacks any published OpenAPI specification for agent integration. ## The score | Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Discovery | 10 of 14 | 71% | Can agents find and recommend it | | Access | 25 of 57 | 44% | Can agents read it | | Usability | 9 of 46 | 20% | Can agents use it | | Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay | | Total | 39 of 100 | 39% | 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 (pass), robots.txt agent-user policy (pass), Agent crawler reachability (pass), Not blocked by bot detection (pass).; AI search crawlers: allowed in 3 of 3 checks (3 crawlers on 1 page).

These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Philips, each tied to the checklist row whose recipes cover it. Public API with reachable endpoints Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.8 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 5.8 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. Developer resource discoverability Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "philips" developer resources but found nothing relevant. No checklist row names this check. OAuth 2.0 support Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected. Row [AR-ACT-01](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-01/), Auth an agent can finish. Scoped permissions Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found. Row [AR-ACT-01](https://agentreadychecklist.com/checklist/ar-act-01/), Auth an agent can finish. ## Our read Philips has a developer portal at philips.com/developers and does not link to it from the home page, which is the small fact that explains the D. The door is open to all four test agents, robots.txt allows the AI search and training crawlers, five of five sampled pages read without a login, and the sitemap index is valid. The home page gives 2,265 characters with an H1 at a 2.0 percent content ratio, well under Ora's 5 percent target, and carries no JSON-LD, so the two rows about what the page says and what it declares both miss. The portal exists, but Ora found neither a reachable API nor an OpenAPI specification behind it, and no OAuth endpoints, so the act layer scores 9 of 46. A health technology company that sells connected devices will have APIs for them; a link from the home page and a specification file would put them where an agent looks. ## 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.
