# AR-ACT-06: SDKs and a CLI

AR-ACT-06 is a SHOULD on the act layer: Publish SDKs and a CLI, on npm and PyPI, and show install and first call in the docs. It applies to products agents act on. 19 of 19 platforms have a recipe below. The kit check mcp-or-cli tests it with one command. Ora reads it with 3 checks, starting with cli-tool.

The statement

Publish SDKs and a CLI, on npm and PyPI, and show install and first call in the docs.

## Why

-   v2.0 kept AR-ACT-06 as SHOULD and made it one of the two ways to meet the AR-ACT-10 MUST.primary source, 2026-10-20: [github.com/agentready-org/standard/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/agentready-org/standard/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md), read 2026-11-04
-   is-agentic ships an official CLI as npx is-agentic <domain>, published on npm 2026-08-20.primary source, 2026-08-20: [registry.npmjs.org/is-agentic](https://registry.npmjs.org/is-agentic), read 2026-11-04

## How to verify

### [MCP server or CLI discoverable](https://agentreadychecklist.com/kit/mcp-or-cli/)

```bash
curl -fsSL https://agentreadychecklist.com/kit/verify.sh | bash -s -- https://example.com --only=mcp-or-cli
```

Fetches /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json and /.well-known/mcp.json, POSTs an MCP initialize to /mcp, and, if the reader names a CLI package, checks the npm registry for it. PASS on any one.

**It cannot prove:** Cannot judge whether the tools are useful or whether OAuth completes; a POST to /mcp is the one non-GET call and is skipped with --get-only.

### The one-line version

curl -s https://registry.npmjs.org/<cli-name>/latest | jq -r .version prints a version.

## Verify with Ora

3 checks in Ora's catalogue (contract 1.38.0, read 2026-11-05) read this row. Each entry says what the check looks at and why this page lists it.

-   `cli-tool` CLI tool available Looks for an official command line tool. Usability, 3 points, recommended; catalogue applicability domain-only. Listed because: same name, `cli`.
-   `rest-sdk-packages` Multi-language SDK packages Looks for official SDKs across ecosystems such as npm, PyPI and Go. Usability, 3 points, recommended; catalogue applicability domain-only. Listed because: same name, `sdk`.
-   `npm-sdk-package` NPM/PyPI SDK package Looks for an official SDK or CLI on npm or PyPI. Discovery, 1 point, recommended; catalogue applicability domain-only. Listed because: same name, `sdk`.

### Run just these checks

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://ora.ai/api/scan/checks -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"url":"https://example.com","checkIds":["cli-tool","rest-sdk-packages","npm-sdk-package"]}'
```

This calls the endpoint Ora documents for re-verifying a fix. It sends no cache, returns a result for each id and no total score, and spends one scan from the daily budget. Replace the URL with yours. [How to re-verify one fix](https://agentreadychecklist.com/guides/re-verify-one-fix-with-ora/).

### Or audit the whole site

```bash
npx ax@0.10 audit https://example.com --min-score 70
```

Exit code 1 means the score is below the number you passed, so the same line gates a deploy: [the CI recipe](https://agentreadychecklist.com/guides/gate-deploys-on-agent-readiness-in-ci/). [Why this site recommends Ora, and where it falls short](https://agentreadychecklist.com/verify-with-ora/).

## What it does not do

-   A CLI that needs an interactive browser login an agent cannot finish fails in practice.
-   Package names are not verified by the kit beyond existence on the registry.

## Common mistakes

-   CLI only as a binary download with no package manager entry.
-   No --json output, so agents parse tables.
