uscourts.gov is live and passes 11 of 30 agentic-readiness checks (51%). It runs on drupal over HTTPS.

For AI agents, uscourts.gov's strongest signals are clean semantic HTML, tidy, crawlable markup, fully indexable pages, and a visually stable layout. Approximately 1737 DOM nodes - consider simplifying.

Its main gaps are no Schema.org structured data, shallow schema coverage, no speakable schema for voice agents, and no llms.txt for agent discovery. The weakest area is Structured data; addressing it first would raise this score the most.
