AI Catalog manifest · Nylas

Nylas CLI

Nylas serves an AI Catalog manifest at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json on cli.nylas.com, declaring 4 agentic resources that a discovery service can index without asking anyone’s permission.

Structural grade · AI Catalog 1.0
Flavored
Fails a hard check in the data model. A catalog in spirit rather than in schema.
ARD conformance-test v0.9.1 (ards-project/ard-spec)
FAIL
Run against this exact body with the project’s own conformance CLI — 9 critical errors.
Discovery path
predecessor
Answered only at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json. ARD v0.91 renamed the path to /.well-known/ard.json and made the old one an optional courtesy, so a consumer implementing only the current spec will not find this manifest.
Declared spec version
1.0
The specVersion in the manifest. 1.0 is current for the AI Catalog data model; anything lower is an earlier draft. ARD reads this field as transport-defined and ignores it.
⚠ Hard checks failed. An ARD client cannot assume this manifest parses to the model the specification defines.

The urn:ai: prefix is not sloppiness — it is the identifier scheme ARD itself specified until ADR-0009 moved the namespace identifier from ai to air for URN validity. This publisher implemented against the earlier draft.

Optional affordances missing. None of these break a client, but each one costs the publisher search relevance or verifiability.

How it is served

The publishing guide asks for three things at the transport layer, because a crawler is the consumer that matters and a crawler is a browser-shaped client.
Evidence. Fetched https://cli.nylas.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json on 2026-09-13, HTTP 200. The verbatim body is stored alongside its manifest in the Nylas repository as ai-catalog/nylas-ai-catalog.json. Nothing on this page is derived or generated: an AI Catalog manifest is served from the publisher’s own domain or it does not exist, which makes it — like an A2A Agent Card — one of the few agent artifacts that cannot be produced on a provider’s behalf. Grades are recomputed on every build; the specification is a v0.9 draft and these verdicts will move when it does.

Work with this as data

Every descriptor here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP. Agent Discovery is not yet its own endpoint on the v1 API. Reach it through catalog search and the tag graph, or the MCP server.
