What Cloudflare does that Wiz does not
Cloudflare passes llms-full.txt / full agent docs, structured api reference, self-service signup, cli available, agent compatibility verified, and Wiz fails them. That is the whole of the gap between the two scores, so if none of those matter to your agent the ranking above overstates the difference.
Why people look for an alternative
Wiz fails public docs discoverable, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, self-service signup, no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart, cli available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. Each one is a place an unattended run stops, which is usually what sends someone looking in the first place.
Where Wiz loses the points
| Pillar | Wiz | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | 80 | Can an agent find it at all: sitemap, robots, structured data. |
| Understand | 23 | Is there a spec, an llms.txt, a machine-readable description. |
| Adopt | 40 | Signup, keys, SDKs, and whether a human has to be involved. |
| Operate | 35 | Rate-limit headers, errors, status, and behaviour under load. |
Wiz is weakest on understand at 23/100. Without a spec an agent has to guess at endpoints, and it guesses wrong. If that is the part your agent depends on, take the ranking above seriously; if it is not, Wiz may still be the right pick.
What an agent runs into with Wiz
These are the findings from the last audit on 2026-08-23. Each one is a place unattended software stops, which is the practical reason to look at the list above.
- Make signup self-serve; an agent cannot sit through a sales call.
- Make docs reachable without auth or navigation gymnastics.
- Publish an OpenAPI spec so agents can generate a client.
- Flesh out the OpenAPI: paths, schemas, and descriptions.
- Document error responses as an enum in your OpenAPI.
- Let agents create API keys programmatically.
- Return X-RateLimit / Retry-After headers so agents pace themselves.
- Publish an AGENTS.md or llms-full.txt with full agent context.
