Open-source tool AgentiQA tests if AI agents can actually buy from your store

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

AgentiQA, an open-source tool, sends AI agents through real e-commerce funnels to see where they fail. It combines static checks like robots.txt and JSON-LD with a live Claude-driven browser that attempts to add items to cart and reach checkout. The tool uses a text-based DOM snapshot and a code-level payment guard to prevent agents from entering sensitive data.

Meridian48 take
The tool's real insight is that clean markup doesn't guarantee agent compatibility, and its payment guard design—hardcoded regex, not a prompt—is a pragmatic safety pattern more developers should adopt.
