What Delta would need to change
1Give agents a front doorProtocols · up to 12 pts
A Universal Commerce Protocol manifest for shopping, or an MCP server card for everything else. An agent that can call an API never needs to hold a customer's password.

{ "name": "Delta", "endpoint": "https://www.delta.com/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http" }2Publish llms.txtSurface · up to 8 pts
A short markdown map of what the site does, where the important pages are, and how to search or check out.
/llms.txt # Delta > One paragraph on what this site is for. - [Products](/products): how to search and filter - [Checkout](/checkout): steps and constraints
3Add JSON-LD structured dataSurface · up to 6 pts
schema.org Organization on the homepage, Product + Offer on product pages, with price and availability.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "name": "Delta", "url": "https://www.delta.com/" }
</script>4Use semantic landmarksSurface · up to 5 pts
main, nav, header, footer and labeled forms. Everything an accessibility audit already asks for.
<header>…</header> <nav aria-label="Primary">…</nav> <main>…</main> <form aria-label="Site search"><label for="q">Search</label><input id="q" name="q"></form>
5Server-render the pageSurface · up to 4 pts
The homepage has no readable content without executing scripts. Agents that read HTML get nothing.
# render product, price and navigation into the HTML response # hydrate on the client afterwards
6Say your stance with a Content-SignalConsent · up to 3 pts
Two lines in robots.txt end the guessing game. ai-input covers agents reading pages on a person's behalf.
