Where the points went
Every rule, heaviest first, with what it cost this document, how much of the surface it touched, and where. The rule id links to what that rule checks.

What 8.7 means for an SDK
A strong reading, and the three rules that decide most of it.
A generator has what it needs here: typed methods, named models and doc comments that say something. What is left is polish, and it can wait until after the first release.
Three rules carry six of the 10 points between them. On this document they took 0.0.

What to change first
Every rule that deducted, in the order they cost.
0.9 lost
Request bodies are documented
Describe the body, or the fields inside it. Field-level prose is the one that reaches the SDK's arguments.
Inside Octri this one has a one-click fix.
0.4 lost
Failure responses are declared
Declare the failures you actually return, or one `default` response carrying your error shape.
Where to go next
- Score your own spec The same fourteen rules, on any public URL. No account, and the spec is not kept.
- OpenAPI to a TypeScript SDK Published to npm, with the type definitions generated from your spec.
- OpenAPI to an MCP server The same endpoints, as tools an agent can call.
- How SDK Studio shapes a client Naming, hooks and packaging, decided before ten runtimes are built.
The spec at raw.githubusercontent.com is public. Octri keeps the `info` block, the score, and up to five sample finding locations per rule. The document itself is not stored and is not served from here. The audit predicts what an SDK generator can do with the description; it is not a security review, an uptime measurement or a critique of the API’s design.
