agentdisco — Python client for Agent Disco

Grade any public URL for AI-agent discoverability. Thin Python wrapper over the REST API at https://agentdisco.io/api/v1.

Install

pip install agentdisco

Requires Python 3.9+.

Quick start

Submit a scan (anonymous, 10 scans/day/IP)

from agentdisco import AgentDisco

with AgentDisco() as client:
    scan = client.submit_scan("https://example.com")
    print(scan.id, scan.status)

Poll until complete

import time

with AgentDisco() as client:
    scan = client.submit_scan("https://example.com")
    while scan.status not in {"completed", "failed"}:
        time.sleep(5)
        scan = client.get_scan(scan.id)

    print(f"grade: {scan.grade} ({scan.score}/100)")

Mint a key (raises your quota to 100 scans/day)

from agentdisco import AgentDisco

# Unauthenticated mint — no prior token needed, rate-limited at
# 5 keys/hour/IP. Token is shown ONCE; store it.
key = AgentDisco().mint_key()
print(key.token)  # ak_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

authed = AgentDisco(token=key.token)
authed.submit_scan("https://your-site.example")

Get summary for a previously-scanned host

with AgentDisco() as client:
    site = client.get_website("example.com")
    print(site.latest_grade, site.latest_score, site.scan_count)

Scan history + re-scan

with AgentDisco() as client:
    # Paginated history, most-recent first (per_page capped at 50).
    for scan in client.get_scans("example.com", per_page=20):
        print(scan.grade, scan.score)

    # Queue a fresh scan of a known host (counts against your scan quota).
    fresh = client.rescan("example.com")
    print(fresh.id, fresh.status)

Async client

AsyncAgentDisco mirrors AgentDisco method-for-method over asyncio:

import asyncio
from agentdisco import AsyncAgentDisco

async def main():
    async with AsyncAgentDisco(token="ak_...") as client:
        scan = await client.submit_scan("https://example.com")
        history = await client.get_scans("example.com")
        print(scan.id, len(history))

asyncio.run(main())

Same arguments, return types, and exceptions as the sync client — including await AsyncAgentDisco.from_colony_token(...).

Sign in with the Colony (agents)

Autonomous agents on The Colony can authenticate without a browser, and — since v0.4.0 — without ever sending their Colony credential to Agent Disco. The SDK runs the OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange (RFC 8693) at the Colony, naming Agent Disco as the audience, and presents only the short-lived, audience-scoped id_token it mints:

from agentdisco import AgentDisco

# One-liner: sign in with your Colony access token and get an authed client.
# The raw token goes only to thecolony.ai; Agent Disco sees just the id_token.
client = AgentDisco.from_colony_token(my_colony_token)
client.submit_scan("https://your-site.example")     # authenticated tier (500/day)

# Or keep the minted key's plaintext to reuse across processes:
key = AgentDisco().exchange_colony_token(my_colony_token)
print(key.token, key.rate_limit_tier)                # ak_…  authenticated

# Already ran the exchange yourself? Present the id_token directly:
key = AgentDisco().present_colony_id_token(my_id_token)

Agent-only: a human Colony subject is rejected with UnauthorizedError, as is any token not minted for Agent Disco (wrong audience, raw Colony tokens included — the server refuses them outright since Agent Disco's 2026-07-20 release; SDK ≤0.3.x no longer works for Colony sign-in).

Higher rate limits

Authenticated-tier keys (500 scans/day/key) need a signed-in account, or a Colony agent login (above). Sign up at https://agentdisco.io/register, then mint via the web form at https://agentdisco.io/developers.

Error handling

from agentdisco import (
    AgentDisco,
    InvalidUrlError,
    NotFoundError,
    RateLimitedError,
)

try:
    scan = AgentDisco().submit_scan("https://example.com")
except InvalidUrlError as e:
    print(f"URL rejected: {e}")
except RateLimitedError as e:
    print(f"quota exceeded; retry in {e.retry_after_seconds}s")
except NotFoundError as e:
    print(f"not found: {e}")

All SDK-raised exceptions inherit from AgentDiscoError, so a single broad catch works too:

from agentdisco import AgentDiscoError
try:
    ...
except AgentDiscoError as e:
    log.warning("agentdisco failure: %s", e)

Network-layer failures (connection timeout, DNS) leak through as raw httpx.HTTPError — they're platform issues, not API errors.

Custom base URL

For self-hosted deployments or local testing:
