Refused our visits

These stores turned away our browser-like visit and every AI agent we sent, so we couldn't score them.

How we measured

  • Each store got the same audit as AgentReady's free check: robots.txt rules, live visits as five ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude agents, three sampled product pages, the Universal Commerce Protocol profile, policies and sitemap.
  • The score weights access 30%, product data 30%, agentic commerce 15%, trust 15% and discovery 10%.
  • Audits ran from our servers in Singapore. Real AI agents visit from their companies' own networks, so firewall results are a strong signal, not proof.
  • Lists are chosen by hand from well-known Indian brands and refreshed monthly. Last run September 26, 2026.
