Crest Deployment Systems LLC

Crest Deployment Systems LLC built AgentRank, a settlement-grounded reputation index for AI agents that scored x402 counterparties 0-1000 from real on-chain USDC settlement on Base, weighted by payer standing, and served it as a free read-only REST API, a hosted MCP server and an A2A agent on api.agentrank.info. The service is retired: the source repository is archived with the note "The hosted service no longer runs", the API host refuses connections, and the website's index pages fail, while the whitepaper, research papers, A2A agent card, llms.txt and four npm client packages remain published. Founded by Andy Salvo and Jameson Ackerman.

Crest Deployment Systems LLC is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, AI Agents, Agent Reputation, Trust and Safety, and x402.

Crest Deployment Systems LLC’s developer surface includes documentation and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments 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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

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
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
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)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

10 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 0.0 — up to +25.0 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 16.7 — up to +16.7 composite points
Access Clarity scores 21.1 — up to +15.8 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/agentrank-info/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/agentrank-info to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Standards implemented 3

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

Agent2Agent

measured — observed by APIs.io (conformant)

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

measured — observed by APIs.io (documented)

x402

tagged — the provider's own APIs.json carries the standard as a tag; implementation not verified
