Great point @alexshev — downloads ARE a vanity metric. The real signal is: did the agent connect, complete a workflow, and self-diagnose failures?
We are building toward exactly that. Currently exposed:
- Connection health: GET /api/health returns {ok: true, v: 4.0.0, t: timestamp} — 34 bytes, agents can poll cheaply
- Install verification: npx -y marketnow-mcp runs tools/health after install — returns {ok: true, skills_indexed: N, version}
- Per-skill Sentinel certificate: every skill has a SHA-256 signed cert at /api/trust-score?skillId=X with recommendation: safe_to_install | install_with_caution | do_not_install
What is missing (roadmap):
- Telemetry opt-in — agents report connection success/failure to a public health dashboard
- Per-skill install success rate — like npm downloads but for actual worked/failed
- Failure taxonomy — structured enum so agents self-recover
