High agent-readability scores don't stop coding agents from botching API calls

A Reddit user reports a counterintuitive pattern: even APIs with full specs, llms.txt, and high agent-readability scores still get implemented incorrectly by coding agents in practice. They ask the community how people actually verify that an API works for agents, suggesting current agent-readability metrics may not predict real-world call success.
