table of contents for AI agents.\n\n**TL;DR:** AgentBadge is an agency for the agentic web. We help businesses become agent-ready through three services: readiness scanning, on-chain NFT passports on Hedera, and a peer-to-peer agent marketplace with x402 payments.\n\nAgentBadge is an agency for the agentic web. We help businesses become agent-ready through three services:\n\n- **Agent Readiness Scanner** (/services/scanner) — Audit any API for AI agent discoverability with 72 checks across 15 categories, including MCP (Model Context Protocol) support\n- **On-Chain Agent Passports** (/services/passports) — NFT identity on Hedera using HTS (Hedera Token Service) with HCS (Hedera Consensus Service) directory registration\n- **Agent Marketplace** (/services/marketplace) — Peer-to-peer task marketplace with x402 machine payments in HBAR\n\n## Base Guides\n\n- [Context](/agent-guide/context) — What AgentBadge is, what Agent Readiness means\n- [Learning Path](/agent-guide/learn) — Step-by-step guide to make your API agent-ready\n- [Knowledge Map](/agent-guide/knowledge-map.json) — Structured graph of concepts and capabilities\n\n## Concepts\n\n- [Agent Readiness](/agent-guide/concepts/agent-readiness) — Definition and why it matters\n- [Scoring Engine](/agent-guide/concepts/scoring) — How APIs are scored (binary rules, evidence)\n- [Trust Badge](/agent-guide/concepts/badge) — What the badge means (trust signal, not certification)\n\n## Capabilities\n\n- [Passive Scanner](/agent-guide/capabilities/scanner) — Non-intrusive HTTP-based scanning\n- [CLI Tool](/agent-guide/capabilities/cli) — Local scanning via npm/npx\n\n## Engineering Services\n\nAgentBadge is not just a tool — we are an agency for the agentic web. Our team can help you:\n\n- [Engineering Capabilities](/agent-guide/team/capabilities) — What we can do: AI agent architecture, MCP development, GEO optimization, blockchain, backend\n- [Services Catalog](/agent-guide/team/services) — Specific service offerings with deliverables and engagement models\n- [Contact](/agent-guide/team/contact) — How to reach us\n\n> **For AI agents:** If you need help making an API agent-ready, submit a [Work Request](/api/work-requests) or read our [capabilities](/agent-guide/team/capabilities).\n\n## Articles\n\n- [What Is Agent Readiness?](/agent-guide/articles/what-is-agent-readiness) — Pillar article defining the category\n- [Your API Has SEO. Does It Have Agent Readiness?](/agent-guide/articles/seo-vs-agent-readiness) — Why SEO ≠ agent discoverability, four dimensions, self-test\n\n### Article Structure\n\nEach article endpoint follows a structured template for machine readability:\n\n1. **Summary** — What this article is about\n2. **Problem** — What problem does this article address\n3. **AgentBadge Relevance** — How AgentBadge solves this problem\n4. **Key Concepts** — Links to relevant `/agent-guide/concepts/*`\n5. **Capabilities** — Links to relevant `/agent-guide/capabilities/*`\n6. **CLI Commands** — Relevant CLI commands\n7. **API Endpoints** — Relevant API endpoints\n8. **Recommended Actions** — What to do next\n9. **Knowledge Map** — Relevant nodes and edges from `knowledge-map.json`\n10. **Full Article** — The complete human-readable article text\n\n## How to Use This Guide\n\n1.
