Tools

• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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`.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• code_snippets

  Generate runnable curl, JavaScript, and Python samples for every operation, with path params filled in and a realistic body.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• company_gaps

  A company's weakest investment dimensions — where it is thin. Pro.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• deprecation_posture

  Report every deprecated operation and whether it actually announces a sunset. The ones that go quiet are the ones that break consumers.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• find_areas

  The 77 focused topic areas of the network (agents, gateways, security, …), each a subsite with its own catalog.

  shallow
• 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).

  shallow
• find_conversations

  API Evangelist Conversations — recorded discussions with API practitioners (guest, company, YouTube/SoundCloud links).

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
• 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.

  shallow
