What this means
Faro's scan of vanguard.com on 6 October 2026 found open access for ChatGPT's and Claude's crawlers, an MCP server and an agent-to-agent card. Through its MCP server, an AI agent can use Vanguard's tools, not just describe them. ChatGPT and Claude can read vanguard.com themselves, so they can answer questions about Vanguard in its own words. Its agent-to-agent card tells other AI agents what Vanguard does and how to work with it.
No structured business data turned up, so an assistant has to work out Vanguard's basic facts from ordinary page text. No published pricing was found. An assistant asked what Vanguard costs has nothing on vanguard.com to quote, so it guesses or says it doesn't know.
AI assistants answer questions about a business from what its site publishes. This page is Faro’s record of what they can find on vanguard.com.
