Tools of api-evangelist
Read-only
Idempotent
Open world
api_coverageMeasure 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
api_scorecardScore 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
apply_overlayApply an OpenAPI Overlay to a document and report what each action matched. Use it for deprecation and migration choreography without forking the contract.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
audit_pipelineScore 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 declaredYesNot declaredYes
baseline_violationsPRO — Adopt a ruleset on a legacy API without a wall of red: snapshot today's violations as a baseline, then pass that baseline back to fail only on NEW violations (with fixed counts, a warning budget and burndown).Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
certify_apiIssue 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
classify_api_fieldsInventory the PII, secret, and sensitive fields an OpenAPI exposes, across parameters and request/response schemas. Run this before exposing an API to agents.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
code_snippetsGenerate runnable curl, JavaScript, and Python samples for every operation, with path params filled in and a realistic body.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
company_dimensionsPRO — 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
company_gapsA company's weakest investment dimensions — where it is thin. Pro.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
company_peersPRO — 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
company_signalsPRO — 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
company_whitespacePRO — 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
deprecation_postureReport every deprecated operation and whether it actually announces a sunset. The ones that go quiet are the ones that break consumers.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
describe_ruleLook up one rule by id — description, severity, given/then, reference — and its remediation prompt: what to change when it fires. Suggests close matches for an unknown id.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
detect_formatIdentify a document: OpenAPI (Swagger 2.0 vs 3.x), AsyncAPI, Arazzo, JSON Schema, APIs.json, MCP, an agent SKILL.md, an Overlay or a ruleset — and how many catalog rules and which named profiles apply.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
diff_api_versionsCompare two OpenAPI versions and classify every change as breaking, non-breaking, or an addition — at path, operation, parameter, request-body, and response granularity.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
document_rulesetGenerate human-readable Markdown documentation for a ruleset — each rule's severity, what it checks, its message and how to fix it. Pass `ruleset`, or `profile` for a curated one (owasp, problem-details, fhir, api-authorization).Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
entity_demandPRO — 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
explain_rule_resultExplain why a rule did or did not fire on a document: whether its formats matched, what its `given` matched, what `then` checked, and the verdict. Works for your own rules, the catalog, and the built-ins.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
export_agent_rulesTurn 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo
federate_rulesetsPRO — Model a central baseline ruleset and the domains that adopt it (inherit / override / waive / defer / local rules) and compute divergence per rule, drift per domain, and local rules worth promoting.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
find_areasThe 77 focused topic areas of the network (agents, gateways, security, …), each a subsite with its own catalog.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
find_building_blocksSearch 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo

find_measured_standardsThe 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 declaredYesNot declaredNo

find_vocabularyThe API vocabulary — thousands of resources, actions, personas, domains, schemas, and tags extracted from the API landscape. Filter by category.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
fingerprint_generatorPRO — For a code-first API: identify which OpenAPI generator produced the spec, and split findings into those to fix with code annotations vs. spec authoring, with per-generator remediation.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
fix_diagnosticsPRO — Propose an OpenAPI Overlay that fixes the lint errors (or the `rules` you name), apply it, re-lint, and report what was resolved, what newly fires, and any breaking change. Review the overlay before applying it.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo

Free, because a specification is a public good.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo

standard_repositoriesEvery repository a standards body publishes, with maturity, stars, forks, open issues and archived status. Free.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
submit_api_evangelist_feedbackReport something wrong with a result: wrong data, a filter that did not filter, a ranking that put off-topic results first, a number you could not reproduce, or an answer that was useless for your task. Free, and the fastest way to get a defect fixed — the support sweep reads the log this lands in. Say what you expected as well as what you got.NoNoNoNo
test_rulesetRun a ruleset against fixture documents with expectations — codes that must fire, exact counts, or a clean lint — and report pass/fail per case plus which rules no case asserts on or ever triggers.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
validate_apiLint an OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo, or JSON Schema document against the curated best-of-breed ruleset (Spectral) and return the findings. Pass your own `ruleset` to run rules you own instead of the catalog — which is what you should do before gating on anything.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
validate_onboardingValidate an API Onboarding Descriptor (AID) against the api-commons schema and report which optional sections it fills in.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
validate_rulesetCheck that an OpenLint/Spectral ruleset is valid BEFORE running or storing it: invalid JSONPath, unknown functions, undefined aliases, and anything the engine rejects. Catalog metadata (title, prompt, x-*) is set aside and reported. Run this on every ruleset you write.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
verify_certificateRe-verify a governance certificate against the API it attests to. If the API drifted or the certificate was forged, verification fails.Not declaredYesNot declaredNo
