3Bar Biologics

3Bar Biologics (3BarBio) is an agricultural biotechnology company in Columbus, Ohio, spun out of research at The Ohio State University and operating as the first contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) dedicated to agricultural biologicals. Its business is getting living microbes to the field alive: the patented LiveMicrobe platform, including the Iso-Pak and Re-Pak delivery systems, keeps beneficial bacteria viable through storage and distribution, the problem that has historically limited adoption of microbial crop inputs. The company sells design, development, biomanufacturing and fulfillment services to discovery companies, distributors and bulk suppliers, and previously marketed its own Bio-YIELD inoculant to corn, soybean and wheat growers in the eastern Corn Belt. 3Bar Biologics is a manufacturer and services business, not a software vendor: it publishes no developer program, no developer portal, no API documentation, no SDKs and no pricing for any programmatic product. The only machine-readable interface it exposes is the WordPress REST content API behind its corporate website at www.3barbiologics.com, which is captured here for discovery purposes. That surface is anonymously readable, read-only, entirely undocumented by the company, and carries two reproducible defects on its media collection that are recorded in this profile.

3Bar Biologics publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, AgTech, Biotechnology, and Agricultural Biologicals.

3Bar Biologics’ developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, code examples, and 20 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.
