Clawvisor

Clawvisor is the authorization layer for AI agents — a Y Combinator (Spring 2026) security gateway that sits between an AI agent and the tools it acts on (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear, Stripe, Twilio, iMessage). Agents never hold downstream credentials: they declare a task describing their purpose and the service/action pairs they need, the user approves that scope once, and Clawvisor enforces restrictions, task scope, and LLM intent verification on every request before injecting vaulted, short-lived credentials, executing through an adapter, and writing a full audit trail. It ships open-core as a self-hostable Go daemon with a CLI, web dashboard, TUI, and an OAuth 2.1 MCP server, plus an official Claude Code plugin. Agents integrate over a plain HTTP gateway or MCP — no SDK or agent-code changes required.

Clawvisor publishes 5 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Catalog API, Gateway API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include AI Agents, Authorization, Security, Identity, and Access Control.

The Clawvisor catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Clawvisor’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, and 23 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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):

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
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs

4 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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
Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages)	undeclared	-	-	2

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 5

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.
