New Relic vs StackResolve

StackResolve scores higher on the AgentReady, 100/100 against 51/100. They differ on 18 of the 41 signals. Which ones decides whether an agent can adopt them without a person watching.

What each one is

New Relic. Intelligent Observability platform that resolves issues at scale before they impact bottom line

StackResolve. StackResolve is an independent registry that scores how ready software is for AI agents, and an API that compresses web research into structured calls.

Where StackResolve is ahead

StackResolve passes llms-full.txt / full agent docs and mcp discoverable, and New Relic does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds understand: structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented and limits / constraints documented. New Relic misses those.

And on adopt, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation and mcp integration available. New Relic misses those.

Finally, on operate, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable and agent compatibility verified. New Relic misses those.

Score, pillar by pillar

The AgentReady splits into four pillars, scored separately, because a product can be easy to find and still impossible to adopt.

Discover. StackResolve leads 100 to 80. New Relic misses llms-full.txt / full agent docs, mcp discoverable; StackResolve misses nothing.

Understand is whether an agent can read the docs and work out how the API behaves before calling it. StackResolve leads 100 to 23. New Relic misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented; StackResolve misses nothing.

Adopt. StackResolve leads 100 to 65. New Relic misses no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, mcp integration available; StackResolve misses nothing.

Operate. StackResolve leads 100 to 35. New Relic misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified; StackResolve misses nothing.

Pricing

New Relic does not publish a machine-readable starting price and has a free tier. StackResolve starts at $0/mo and has a free tier.
