Can an AI agent…
ciphyr.ai offers agents a way to book; we found no way to change it afterwards.
The biggest step: Let agents change a booking or an order (+16).
What's missing
-
Let agents change a booking or an order (+16 points)
Add reschedule_booking or update_order next to the tool that creates the booking or the order.
Guide
More
Plans change; if an agent can't move a booking or change an order, the customer has to call, or cancels.
Add a tool such as reschedule_booking or update_order on the door that takes the booking or the order.
What counts: reschedule_booking, update_booking, change_reservation, update_order, modify_order, PATCH /bookings/{id}, PATCH /orders/{id}. An inbox that takes bookings or orders.
-
Publish your terms for machines (+5 points)
Write your cancellation, deposit and no-show terms in one plain sentence next to the booking or order button, and on the policy page your footer links to.
Guide
More
Agents check the terms before they commit their person.
What counts: get_policies. MerchantReturnPolicy markup, or a policy page linked from your pages that states its terms in words, such as "free cancellation up to 24 hours before".
-
Let agents pay (+14 points)
Ask your payment provider whether it takes agent payments (a token the person approves, which the agent passes on without seeing a card), and declare it on your own door: in UCP, as a payment handler.
A quick partial step: add paymentAccepted to your business markup, and say in words on your booking or order page how payment happens.
Guide
More
An assistant that knows how payment works can tell its person what happens next; one that can pay finishes the job.
Ask your payment provider whether it takes agent payments (a token the person approves, which the agent passes on without seeing a card), and declare it on a door of your own. Until then, a link to your own checkout counts partly.
What counts: UCP payment handlers, ACP delegated payment, AP2 or x402 on a door, or a pay or checkout tool. paymentAccepted in your markup, payment terms in words or a checkout link count partly.
-
Let agents check free times or stock (+10 points)
Add check_availability next to the tool that books, on an MCP server or in an OpenAPI document on your domain.
Guide
More
An assistant that sees a free slot books it; one that can't, guesses or moves on.
Add a tool such as check_availability on an MCP server or in an OpenAPI document on your domain.
What counts: check_availability, get_availability, list_slots, check_stock. A UCP catalog, or an inbox that takes bookings. schema.org availability on your offers counts partly.
-
Add your hours and your address to what agents can read (+2 points)
Add LocalBusiness markup in your most specific type (such as HairSalon, Restaurant or Store) to your homepage, with your name, your address and your opening hours.
Guide
More
An assistant checks who you are, where you are and when you're open before it sends anyone your way.
What counts: get_business_profile. schema.org LocalBusiness markup in its most specific type, with name, address and openingHoursSpecification. Selling online through UCP, ACP or Shopify checkout counts in place of an address.
llms.txt
Found and readable: https://www.ciphyr.ai/llms.txt.
It names 4 doors for agents that we couldn't use.
- An MCP server (×3): we couldn't use it; it turned the request away.
- An MCP server: we couldn't use it; it's on another site, which our check doesn't read; declare it when you claim your listing.
An llms.txt helps an assistant read about a business; on its own it opens no door to ask, book or order, so it earns no points. What llms.txt does, and doesn't · The llms.txt checker

Rank
#394,562 overall
This rank counts every business checked, named on a leaderboard or not; a leaderboard numbers the businesses it names and no others, so a place there can be higher. Ordered by agentic score, then the most recent check. This is not the directory's search order, which nobody can pay to change. Leaderboards
Badge
Put it on your own site if you like; nothing is placed anywhere for you.
Agent-ready businesses are listed in Surfing Dog Search; one whose own inbox answers is listed ahead of the rest, and joining is optional. How the order works
This is not a certification: it is what our crawler read on ciphyr.ai's own site and doors on 2026-10-20, scored by the published rules. Nobody can pay for a score or a place.
Evidence: declared — the business's own site or door says so; tested — our own read of its door saw it listed in the 7 days before this check. We have not tried it.
