PandA Learning Support System API (Sakai Entity Broker + IMS LTI) is one of 4 APIs that [Kyoto University](https://apis.io/providers/kyoto/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 2 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include LMS, Sakai, LTI, Education, and Learning Management. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and 2 JSON Schemas.

PandA is the Kyoto University Learning Support System, a Sakai deployment operated by the Institute for Information Management and Communication and published by the IIMC as the university's own education service. Its Sakai Entity Broker at /direct self-describes 53 registered entity prefixes and answers application/json anonymously: the tool registry returns all 96 registered tools with their required Sakai permissions, while session-scoped prefixes (site, syllabus, announcement, assignment, calendar, content, lti) return an empty collection and the user directory is closed with a 403. Separately, PandA is a live IMS LTI 1.3 platform — it publishes a JWKS of three RS256 signing keys at /imsblis/lti13/keyset — and still runs the LTI 1.1 Basic Outcomes service, which answers with an IMS message_response envelope. No credential was sent to any endpoint and no authentication was attempted.
