How we would run it

- Run Agent Accessibility Auditor across your list of developer tools companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for agent readability.
- Read ten rows of agent readability on developer tools companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
Traditional Search Tools
- GitHub, for developer tools companies. Public repositories and contributor counts, free, and the strongest adoption signal in the category.
- Google's Rich Results Test. Free and authoritative on structured data, which is a large part of this. It says nothing about the AI crawlers specifically.
- Screaming Frog or a crawler. Crawls the site the way a bot does and shows what a bot sees. Built for SEO, and this question is close enough that it mostly works.
- Asking an assistant about your product. The crudest test and the most convincing one. If the answer is wrong, you have your finding.
- Read your own robots.txt and disable JavaScript. Two checks, ten minutes. Open robots.txt and look for the AI crawler rules, then load your key pages with JavaScript turned off and see what survives.
