Tools
83 tools
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | Yes |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
code_snippetsGenerate runnable curl, JavaScript, and Python samples for every operation, with path params filled in and a realistic body. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
company_gapsA company's weakest investment dimensions — where it is thin. Pro. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
deprecation_postureReport every deprecated operation and whether it actually announces a sunset. The ones that go quiet are the ones that break consumers. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |

find_entitiesBrowse 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 | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |

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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |

standard_adoptionHow 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 | Yes | Not declared | No |
standard_coalitionWho is actually behind a standard: the governing bodies and their membership, the working groups, the member companies, and the named people. Carries the caveats where our machine-readable source disagrees with the body's own published roster. Free. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
standard_repositoriesEvery repository a standards body publishes, with maturity, stars, forks, open issues and archived status. Free. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
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. | No | No | No | No |
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 declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
validate_apiLint an OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo, or JSON Schema document against the curated best-of-breed ruleset (Spectral) and return the findings.

Catalog metadata (title, prompt, x-*) is set aside and reported. Run this on every ruleset you write. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
verify_certificateRe-verify a governance certificate against the API it attests to. If the API drifted or the certificate was forged, verification fails. | Not declared | Yes | Not declared | No |
