  description: Cadence Design Systems delivers software and IP for electronic design automation, including IC and PCB design,
    verification, emulation, and system analysis. The EDA product lines (Virtuoso, Allegro X, OrCAD X, Xcelium, Innovus, JasperGold)
    are licensed desktop and compute software automated with SKILL and Tcl scripting inside the installed product, not network
    APIs, and Cadence publishes no machine-readable contract for them. The callable surfaces Cadence does operate are catalogued
    as separate API entries in this record.

  description: 'The cloud-native molecular design platform from OpenEye, Cadence Molecular Sciences — the Cadence Design Systems
    business unit acquired in 2022 (its documentation carries a Cadence Design Systems copyright). Orion runs cube/floe computational
    workflows, datasets, shard collections, jobs and GPU-backed molecule search. Clients authenticate with an account-issued
    token; the published interface is the orionclient Python library and the ocli command line interface, and no OpenAPI,
    GraphQL SDL or AsyncAPI contract is published for it. Base host read from the provider''s own documented example ("Url
    of Orion Stack, ex: orion.eyesopen.com").'

  description: A live HTTPS JSON API for macromolecular experimental data — experiments, sites, families, contexts, frames
    and results, keyed on PDB structure codes with .pdb/.cif structures, MTZ density and cryo-EM maps. Operated by OpenEye,
    Cadence Molecular Sciences, and reachable at https://mmds.eyesopen.com/api/v1/ — an unauthenticated GET on 2026-09-05
    returned HTTP 403 with a Django REST Framework body, {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}, which
    confirms the service is real and that every path is authentication-gated. No OpenAPI is published; the mmdsclient Python
    library and mmdscli CLI are the published interface.
