Your UCPtools Trial - Get AI-Ready in 7 Days
A 7-day guide to getting the most from your UCPtools free trial: validation scans, AI agent simulator, and continuous monitoring setup.
Your UCPtools Trial - Get AI-Ready in 7 Days
You just unlocked full access to every tool on UCPtools for 7 days. No credit card, no limits, no catch.
Here is what that means: you can validate your store's UCP profile, test it against a real AI shopping agent, and set up automated monitoring so you know the moment something breaks. By the end of this week, you will know exactly whether AI agents like Google AI Mode, Gemini, and ChatGPT can discover and shop from your store.
This guide walks you through one action per day. Each one takes 10-15 minutes. By Day 7, you will have a fully validated, AI-agent-ready store - or you will know exactly what needs fixing.
Day 1: Run Your First Validation Scan
Time: 10 minutes
Start with the basics. The UCP validator checks your store's .well-known/ucp manifest across four levels: structural, rules, network, and SDK. Most stores fail at level 2 or 3 - the manifest exists, but it is broken in ways that make AI agents ignore it.
What to look for in your results:
- A score of 80+ means your store is mostly AI-agent ready. Look at the remaining warnings.
- A score of 50-79 means agents can partially interact with your store, but key capabilities are broken. Fix the critical issues first.
- Below 50 means your store is effectively invisible to AI shopping agents. Do not panic - every issue has a specific fix.
Pro tip: If you manage multiple domains, scan all of them now. The monitoring you set up on Day 5 covers every domain on your account.
Day 3: Test Against a Real AI Agent
Time: 15 minutes
Validation tells you if your manifest is correct. The AI agent simulator tells you if it actually works.
This is what separates UCPtools from every other UCP checker. The simulator sends real agent-style requests to your endpoints - it tries to browse your catalog, add items to cart, and initiate checkout. If your endpoints return errors, time out, or fail authentication, you see exactly what the agent sees.
Common failures the simulator catches:
- Payment handlers that validate but do not actually process transactions
- Identity Linking endpoints that return 200 but fail cross-domain recognition
- Cart capabilities where add-to-cart works but remove or view does not
- HTTPS certificate issues that do not appear in structural scans
These are the failures that make the difference between "valid UCP" and "AI-agent ready." The validator gives you a score. The simulator shows you whether an agent can actually shop.
Day 5: Set Up Continuous Monitoring
Time: 10 minutes
Your UCP profile is not a one-and-done thing. Every time your team pushes a deployment, updates a plugin, or rotates a signing key, your manifest can break. When it does, AI agents stop seeing your store - and you probably will not notice until someone tells you.
Monitoring runs a full validation scan on your domains every week and alerts you the moment something changes. You get an email with the before/after comparison: what was green, what turned red, and how to fix it.
What monitoring covers:
- Weekly automated validation across all 4 levels
- Change detection: new failures vs. last scan
- Email alerts when your score drops
- Historical trend tracking so you can see improvement over time
For agencies managing multiple client stores, this is the feature that replaces manual check-ins. One dashboard, every domain, always up to date.
Day 7: Your Trial Ends - Here Is What Happens Next
Your 7-day trial gives you the full picture: you know your UCP score, you have tested against a real AI agent, and you have monitoring running.
When the trial ends, monitoring pauses. New validation scans require a Starter subscription. The AI agent simulator becomes read-only - you can review past runs but cannot start new ones.
What you keep: All your scan history, simulator reports, and domain configurations stay in your account. Nothing is deleted. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you left off.
What you lose: Automated monitoring stops. New scans stop. AI agent simulation stops. If your UCP manifest breaks after the trial ends, you will not know until a customer tells you - or until your Google AI Mode traffic drops to zero.
Upgrade to Starter - $9/month →
The Starter plan includes unlimited validation scans, weekly automated monitoring, full AI agent simulator access, and CLI/CI integration. $9/month. Cancel anytime.
FAQ
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If you cancel, your subscription runs to the end of the billing period and then stops. Your data stays in your account.
What if I need more than one domain?
The Starter plan supports multiple domains. Add them from your dashboard. Monitoring covers every domain on your account at no extra cost.
How does monitoring work?
Every week, UCPtools runs a full 4-level validation scan on each domain you have configured. If any score changes - up or down - you get an email with the details. You can also check your dashboard anytime for current status and historical trends.
Is my data secure?
Your scan results, domain configurations, and simulator reports are private to your account. We do not share, sell, or analyze your data. The UCP protocol uses your public .well-known/ucp endpoint - we never access anything behind authentication.
What is the difference between UCPtools and free checkers?
Free checkers test one thing: does the .well-known/ucp file exist and parse as valid JSON? UCPtools tests four levels - structural, rules, network, and SDK. The AI agent simulator goes further: it actually sends agent-style requests and shows you whether your endpoints respond correctly. Free checkers tell you if your manifest exists. UCPtools tells you if it works.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
The validator and simulator are one-click. Paste your domain, get results. If you want to go deeper, the CLI and npm package let you run validations in CI/CD pipelines. The monitoring runs automatically - no setup beyond adding your domains.
Ready to Keep Your Store AI-Agent Ready?
Your trial is active right now. Every scan you run, every simulator test you complete, and every domain you monitor builds the picture of your store's AI readiness. When the trial ends, that picture freezes - unless you upgrade.
Upgrade to Starter - $9/month →
Seven days. One scan. One simulator run. One monitoring setup. That is all it takes to know whether AI agents can find and shop from your store.
