## Scores

| Criterion | Score | Evidence |
|-----------|-------|----------|
| Token Efficiency | 2/10 | Excalidraw is a drawing application with no API endpoints, so token efficiency is not measurable; agents cannot programmatically interact with the service to optimize responses. |
| Programmatic Access | 3/10 | Only a React component SDK and npm packages are available; there is no REST API, GraphQL, CLI tool, or MCP server, severely limiting programmatic access for agents. |
| Autonomous Auth | 0/10 | As a client-side drawing application with no backend API, there are no authentication mechanisms or API keys for agent access. |
| Speed & Throughput | 8/10 | As a local-first web application, Excalidraw operates with no network latency for rendering and manipulation, providing fast client-side performance. |
| Discoverability | 2/10 | While llms.txt and agents.json files exist, there is no OpenAPI spec, API documentation, or predictable REST endpoints since no API is exposed. |
| Reliability | 3/10 | As a client-side application, there are no versioning guarantees, idempotency keys, or consistent API response schemas to rely upon. |
| Safety | 7/10 | Local-first architecture with browser-based storage and undo/redo functionality provides inherent safety; users can easily undo operations and files are stored locally. |
| Reactivity | 1/10 | As a client-side drawing tool with no backend API, there are no webhooks, streaming, SSE, or polling capabilities for agents to monitor changes. |

## Biggest Friction

Excalidraw lacks any programmatic API (REST, GraphQL, or MCP) that would allow agents to create, read, or manipulate diagrams autonomously.
