Ambarella

Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA) is a fabless semiconductor company designing low-power system-on-chip (SoC) processors for edge AI and computer vision. Its CVflow architecture accelerates deep neural networks on-device for intelligent cameras, automotive ADAS and autonomous driving, robotics, security, and industrial applications. Ambarella does not publish a public HTTP/REST API; developers engage through the Cooper Developer Platform, the CVflow SDK and toolchain (compiler, debugger, Caffe/TensorFlow support), the Model Garden on HuggingFace, Agentic Blueprints, and an Apache-2.0 set of on-device Agent Skills for Cooper Foundry. This profile was surfaced as a portfolio company of Matrix Partners and enriched with the provider's real public developer, security, and agent surfaces.

Ambarella is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Semiconductors, Edge AI, Computer Vision, and Artificial Intelligence.

Ambarella’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, and 12 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 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
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
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

12 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
Access Clarity scores 10.5 — up to +17.9 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 33.3 — up to +13.3 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/ambarella/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/ambarella to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
XR & Graphics (XR, 3D, GPU graphics)	standard	35.2 (thin)	-	1
Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages)	standard	35.2 (thin)	-	1
ONVIF Video Analytics (video surveillance, edge cameras, computer vision)	standard	35.2 (thin)	-	1
Hugging Face Hub Organisations	standard	35.2 (thin)	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

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.

Agent Skills
