Confidence: low. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 25 | 5.0 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 5 | 0.8 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 23 | 2.0 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 33, provenance 71) | 7% | 8.8 | 52 | 4.5 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **12.4 → F** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 25: Read with the hosted lines. status.exploretock.com exists but loads by script and showed no components to our reader (10 of 20). No readable history (5). No published limits or retry guidance for an outside agent (0, 0). No SLA (0). The service is not labelled beta (10). Total 25.\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 5: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. api.exploretock.com publishes data models with a Swagger 2.0 file of 33 definitions and no paths, and its docs index says docs are coming soon. A data model without endpoints earns a little of the contract line (5 of 25). No llms.txt, endpoint descriptions, examples or changelog (0 on the other lines). Total 5.\n- Agent ergonomics 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. No endpoints are published, so every line scores nothing (0). This says nothing about the service for people.\n- Security \u0026 auth 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. With none in public, the credential, least-privilege, injection and audit lines score nothing (0 of 30, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15). www.exploretock.com/.well-known/security.txt returns 404, and no disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification was found on the pages we could read (0 of 20). Total 0.\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 0: Read with the hosted rule. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The home page answered 403 and no price was read (0). No free tier confirmed (0). Venues sign up through sales (0). Total 0.\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 23: Read for a closed service. Tock's venues joined the Resy app on 11 August 2026, a dated change within 90 days (20). Fewer than three dated changes found (0). The data model lists eng@tockhq.com as a contact, untested (3 of 15). No SDK (0). No package to judge (0). Total 23.\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 52: Closed service under dated Terms of Use, effective 12 February 2026, naming Tock LLC (15). The privacy policy, effective 24 November 2025, describes collection, sharing with service providers and deletion rights, without retention periods (15 of 30). No deprecation policy found (0). Service providers are described by category only (3 of 20). Total 33.\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (15 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/tock.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/tock.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: www.exploretock.com home page and robots.txt, which answered 403, and any pricing page\n- unchecked: status.exploretock.com history, which loads by script\n- Whether Tock's data export or webhook endpoints exist for venues and how keys are issued.

Last updated 2026-02-12.\n- Names the governing law or courts. The law of the State of New York.\n- States a limit on its liability. Capped at the greater of $20 and the fees paid in the 3 months before the claim.\n- Says how changes to the terms are announced. Changes are posted, with no other notice named.\n- Not found in the text. Refers to a service level or uptime commitment.\n- Also in the text (2026-10-14).

Anyone the user authorises to use the service on their behalf is covered, and that person's actions count as the user's own. \"all actions taken by such person on your behalf are deemed to be actions taken by you\"\n- Also in the text (2026-10-14). Users grant Tock a perpetual, irrevocable and sublicensable licence over reviews, photos and other content they submit, usable in any media. \"you grant Tock a nonexclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers, including to restaurants, partners and other third party websites and feeds) right to use\"\n\n**Privacy policy** (https://www.exploretock.com/privacy), read 2026-10-14, dated 2025-11-24, states 8 of the 8 things a reader expects.\n\n- To know.

Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- Reservation data model published with a Swagger 2.0 file of 33 definitions\n- Terms of Use (February 2026) and privacy policy (November 2025) are dated and name Tock LLC\n- Venues also reach diners through the Resy app since 11 August 2026\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- No public API or MCP server an outside agent can call. The docs index reads \"Docs coming soon\"\n- The Terms of Use forbid robots, scripts and automated systems on the site\n- No prices could be read, and the home page answered 403 to our reader\n- No security.txt or disclosure policy found\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Don't plan to call Tock from another agent. Hand the booking to the person on exploretock.com or in the Resy app\n2. Do not script the Tock website, which the Terms of Use forbid. A venue wanting data should ask Tock through its dashboard account\n\n## Similar tools\n\nRanked by shared capabilities, then score.
