BuildOps

BuildOps is an AI-native, all-in-one commercial contractor management platform for multi-trade service and construction companies. It unifies project management, service operations, dispatch and scheduling, financials and invoicing, and sales/CRM into a single system used by 1,500+ contractors across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire safety, and refrigeration trades. Backed by Founders Fund, the company offers pre-built integrations with ERP and accounting systems (QuickBooks, Sage, Vista, Spectrum, NetSuite) plus field-intelligence, payroll, and procurement tools. BuildOps operates a public Dev Center that names a BuildOps Public API offering REST endpoints and webhook callbacks, but that API documentation is marked "Invite Required" and is reachable only through an implementation or customer-success manager. No OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL or Postman collection is published anywhere, and no first-party SDK exists in any public registry. The only public Dev Center project is a Data Dictionary describing BuildOps datasets on the Dashboard module and a Snowflake private share. BuildOps does publish a security policy and a Vanta-hosted Trust Center carrying SOC 2 Type I.

BuildOps is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Construction Software, Field Service Management, Contractor Management, and Commercial Services.

The BuildOps catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

BuildOps’ developer surface includes pricing, signup flow, support, documentation, engineering blog, and 16 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):

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
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 39.0 — up to +15.3 composite points
Contract Governance scores 0.0 — up to +12.0 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/buildops/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/buildops 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
Building Automation (HVAC, BACnet, KNX, smart buildings)	undeclared	-	-	-
Field Service, Home Services and Trades	undeclared	-	-	-

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 2

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.

  detail: The BuildOps Dev Center advertises a "BuildOps Public API" with REST endpoints and webhook callbacks, then gates
    the reference behind "Invite Required - reach out to your IM or CSM"; the linked doc node 404s to the public and the workspace's
    only published Stoplight project is a Data Dictionary with zero API nodes and zero operations. The contracts demonstrably
    exist behind that wall - the springdoc endpoint /v3/api-docs answers 401 rather than 404, and GraphQL introspection is
    refused with 403 - so this is a gate, not an absence.
