- Praise: The content negotiation approach enhances security by allowing agents to receive structured markdown, reducing the risk of indirect prompt injection attacks.
- Praise: Optimizing API documentation for readability can significantly improve the experience for both agents and human users, fostering better interactions.
- Praise: Adopting clean markdown via Accept headers not only improves usability but also mitigates potential security vulnerabilities inherent in HTML.
- Concern: Inconsistent structure across web pages complicates content extraction for autonomous agents, leading to wasted tokens and increased errors.
- Concern: JavaScript-rendered content can return empty results during simple fetches, creating additional challenges for agents that rely on consistent data retrieval.
