Agent Ease of UseAuthEmerging recommendation

OAuth Protected Resource

OAuth Protected Resource has an informational finding because the page appears to support authentication.

Informational

Needs attention

OAuth Protected Resource

Informational
01

Issue

The OAuth Protected Resource metadata endpoint did not return HTTP 2xx.

02

Why it matters

Protected Resource metadata tells agents which authorization servers protect an API and how to connect authentication challenges to the right resource.

Category

Maturity

Emerging recommendation

Goal

Publish OAuth Protected Resource Metadata so agents can discover how to authenticate.

Result

OAuth Protected Resource has an informational finding because the page appears to support authentication.

Validation steps

  1. Fetch protected resource metadata

    The OAuth Protected Resource metadata endpoint did not return HTTP 2xx.

  2. Validate protected resource metadata

    Response is not valid JSON.

  3. Validate protected resource identity

    Protected resource metadata `resource` did not match the resource identifier used to retrieve it.

  4. Probe protected API Bearer challenge

    No protected route with a 401 Bearer challenge was detected; metadata alone does not prove a protected resource.
