Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  description: 'The Paperless Post Party Shop storefront is the only machine-callable surface on any paperlesspost.com host.
    It is Shopify-hosted and implements the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for agent-driven commerce: a UCP merchant profile
    at /.well-known/ucp, an MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp carrying the search_catalog / create_cart / create_checkout / update_checkout
    / complete_checkout tool set, OAuth 2.0 + OpenID Connect customer-account authorization, published agent instructions
    at /llms.txt and /agents.md, and anonymous read-only product and collection JSON endpoints. Checkout completion requires
    contemporaneous buyer approval.'

x-coverage:
  state: covered
  reason: agent-commerce-surface-only
  detail: The core Paperless Post invitation product at www.paperlesspost.com has no developer program and no machine-readable
    contract — every OpenAPI, GraphQL, agent-card and /.well-known probe 404s — but the Party Shop storefront at partyshop.paperlesspost.com
    serves a full UCP/MCP agent-commerce surface (llms.txt, agents.md, /.well-known/ucp, OAuth/OIDC discovery), so the provider
    is covered on that surface rather than empty.
