Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| api_coverage | Measure how much of an API description your governance actually inspects — coverage by section, each rule's reach, and the rules that match nothing. Like test coverage, one altitude up. | Not declared |
| api_scorecard | Score an API's maturity 0-100 with a letter grade across design, governance coverage, documentation, and (from an apis.json) discoverability, agent-readiness, and operations. Pass your own `ruleset` — a score against rules you never adopted means little. | Not declared |
| apply_overlay | Apply an OpenAPI Overlay to a document and report what each action matched. Use it for deprecation and migration choreography without forking the contract. | Not declared |
| audit_pipeline | Score a repository's Spectral CI setup against an 8-point maturity rubric and return a prioritized punch-list. Pass a public `repo` ("owner/name") or `files`. | Not declared |
| certify_api | Issue a tamper-evident governance certificate attesting an API passed a named ruleset at a profile threshold. A SHA-256 fingerprint lets anyone re-verify it. | Not declared |
| classify_api_fields | Inventory the PII, secret, and sensitive fields an OpenAPI exposes, across parameters and request/response schemas. Run this before exposing an API to agents. | Not declared |
| code_snippets | Generate runnable curl, JavaScript, and Python samples for every operation, with path params filled in and a realistic body. | Not declared |
| company_dimensions | PRO — a company's investment dimensions, each read AGAINST the measured cohort: the cohort median, mean and max, this company's rank and percentile, and an index where 1.0 is exactly typical. A raw dimension score is unreadable on its own; these are the columns that make it mean something. | Not declared |
| company_gaps | A company's weakest investment dimensions — where it is thin. Pro. | Not declared |
| company_peers | PRO — the companies most comparable to this one (same sub-sector where the data supports it, same industry otherwise), each with signal totals and top dimensions. The response says which basis it used. | Not declared |
| company_signals | PRO — the company's adopted stack entity by entity (services, tools, standards), each with how many companies across the cohort carry it and its radar ring. | Not declared |
| company_whitespace | PRO — what this company's peers run that it does not, ranked by how many peers carry it. The opening list for a vendor selling into the account. | Not declared |
| deprecation_posture | Report every deprecated operation and whether it actually announces a sunset. The ones that go quiet are the ones that break consumers. | Not declared |
| diff_api_versions | Compare two OpenAPI versions and classify every change as breaking, non-breaking, or an addition — at path, operation, parameter, request-body, and response granularity. | Not declared |
| entity_demand | PRO — THE INVERSION. Every other insights tool runs company -> stack; this one runs stack -> companies: which companies show demand for a given service, tool or standard, broken down by industry. This is the prospecting query — "who should I be selling this to" — and it exists in no report, bundle or page. Returns BOTH the authoritative company count and the companies it can actually name, with the basis difference explained. | Not declared |
| export_agent_rules | Turn a governance ruleset into agent-native guidance — an AGENTS.md block, a system-prompt set, a per-rule remediation pack, and a digest — so agents follow the rules while authoring, not after linting. | Not declared |
| find_areas | The 77 focused topic areas of the network (agents, gateways, security, …), each a subsite with its own catalog. | Not declared |
| find_building_blocks | Search the governance building blocks by type: guidance (177), rules (617), policies (283), standards (432), strategies (75), schema (11), properties (790), experiences (46), lifecycle (29). | Not declared |
| find_company_insights | Browse profiled companies (Fortune 1000 + API providers) by name; ranked by technology-readiness signal. Free. | Not declared |
| find_conversations | API Evangelist Conversations — recorded discussions with API practitioners (guest, company, YouTube/SoundCloud links). | Not declared |
| find_entities | Browse the demand-side entity catalog — every service, tool and standard companies are measured against, ranked by how many carry it. Free. This is the left-hand side of the inversion: pick an entity here, then call entity_demand to see WHO. | Not declared |
| find_measured_standards | The standards bodies API Evangelist has actually MEASURED — repositories, maturity, governance, coalition. Distinct from find_standards, which searches 613 catalog entries describing what a standard IS. Free. | Not declared |
| find_papers | API Evangelist papers — single-PDF deep dives on one practice or topic, with outlines. | Not declared |
| find_posts | Search or browse 5,100+ API Evangelist stories (2010–present); filter by year or tags. | Not declared |
| find_related | Given any doc (type + slug), the most related content across the whole network, ranked by shared-tag relevance (rare, specific tags weigh most). "More like this," across stories, areas, guidance, papers, conversations, and more. | Not declared |
| find_services | The services API Evangelist offers teams and customers — API strategy, governance, discovery, and evangelism engagements by Kin Lane. The front door to working with API Evangelist. (For the third-party vendor registry, use find_solutions.) | Not declared |
| find_solutions | The solutions registry — 740+ third-party API services and tools (gateways, portals, testing, monitoring, …) ranked by adoption across the companies API Evangelist tracks. | Not declared |
| find_tags | Browse and rank the network tag taxonomy — every subject tag across 16k+ docs, by frequency or breadth (how many content types use it). Search with q. The map of what API Evangelist covers. | Not declared |
| find_tools | The open-source tooling registry — 400+ tools in use across the companies API Evangelist tracks, each with adoption counts and technology-radar placement. | Not declared |
| find_videos | The API Evangelist video library — interviews and discussions from across the API space, searchable by transcript. | Not declared |

Filter with types (posts, areas, guidance, rules, policies, standards, strategies, schema, properties, experiences, lifecycle, conversations, videos, papers, services, solutions, tools, timelines, vocabulary). | Not declared |
| standard_adoption | How far a standards body actually got: repositories published, how many graduated past unclassified and the resulting share, release cadence, contributor count — with the provenance of every figure and an explicit list of what is NOT measured. Free, because a specification is a public good. | Not declared |
