What Newegg 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.

2Use 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>

3Say 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.
