Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 33 stories with headroom
What would move Docusign’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45
All MCP-related evidence describes Docusign functioning as an MCP *server* that other AI clients (Claude, Gemini CLI, Copilot) connect to and use — not Docusign itself consuming or plugging in external MCP servers to use their tools.
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
The evidence pack shows Docusign APIs for sending/retrieving individual agreements and metadata, but no documented bulk data-export tool, account-closure export, or open-format portability feature that would let a user extract all their data and leave the platform.
Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any documented opt-out/consent mechanism for AI training, privacy policy language on data usage, or admin controls to restrict data use for model training.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
The evidence pack shows SDKs, REST APIs, an MCP server/connector, and third-party CLI pairing (Gemini CLI + Docusign MCP), but no official Docusign-branded CLI tool is documented anywhere in the evidence.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
No evidence describes granular, scoped/least-privilege API credentials or OAuth scopes tailored for AI agents; the MCP connector docs mention triggering IAM workflow actions but not credential scoping controls.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
The evidence pack never mentions webhooks, event subscriptions, or DocuSign Connect (the product's known webhook feature); only REST APIs, SDKs, MCP connector, and unrelated product features are cited.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productExplore an interactive API reference with runnable examples
nonemoves API qualityimpact 30
Evidence only shows a general Developer Center and REST API docs page plus an OpenAPI/Swagger spec repo, but nothing indicates an interactive, runnable API console; probes actually found 404s for openapi.json/llms.txt at the developer site, suggesting no readily discoverable interactive reference.
Audit trust — stories about audit trust in this arenaRely on a tamper-evident audit trail and completion certificate for every signed document
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 20
Missing: documentation of Certificate of Completion, audit trail/tamper-evidence mechanism (e.g., hash-sealing, timestamping), and any independent verification of its integrity.
