Presented by Agility CMS

The headless CMS with real page management, built for teams whose content has to answer to APIs, agents and whatever ships next.

Based on Joel Varty's WebMCP breakdown

2 minute assessment

Are you ready to ship a WebMCP tool safely?

WebMCP is a web API that lets an AI agent use functions on your website instead of trying to work out the interface on its own.

Before you build one, there are a few things to check:

  • Your content needs enough structure for the tool to return a useful answer.
  • The tool needs to be clear about what it does.
  • You need to think about what happens when an agent can take an action on behalf of a user.

The assessment checks your content structure, tool descriptions, security, how the API works, and actions.

What you might be missing

The API is only part of the job. What sits behind the tool matters too:

  • Your content, and whether it holds a real answer.
  • The way the tool is described.
  • What it can access, and what it can change.
For example

A find_customer_stories tool needs more than a list of stories.

If each story is one large rich text field, the agent has to work through the content to find the right answer. Fields for product, industry, topic, or summary give it more to work with.

The same goes for tool descriptions, security, and actions. These are worth thinking through before you put a tool in front of users.

The assessment gives you a quick way to check whether you have covered them.

The assessment

See where you stand

You do not need to spend an afternoon reading the WebMCP spec to figure out whether your site is ready. Six questions, two minutes, five areas:

01Content structure 02Tool descriptions 03Security 04The API 05Actions

You may find your site is ready. You may find one thing worth fixing first. Either way, you will know where you stand before you build.
