Coalition

Coalition is a San Francisco–headquartered cyber insurance and active risk management provider founded in 2017 by Joshua Motta (CEO) and John Hering. Coalition pairs commercial insurance lines — Cyber, Technology Errors & Omissions, Executive Risks (D&O, EPL, Fiduciary, Crime), Miscellaneous Professional Liability, and AI coverage — with a continuous attack-surface monitoring and incident-response platform (Coalition Control, Wirespeed ADR, Coalition Incident Response, Security Awareness Training). The company's underwriting engine is exposed to brokers and distribution partners through the Coalition Active Insurance API, a RESTful surface that supports rate, quote, bind, document generation, renewals, and webhook events across the United States and Canada, with executive risks APIs and additional product lines added over time. Coalition also publishes a public Exploit Scoring System (ESS) API at ess-api.coalitioninc.com that exposes CVE detail, ESS/EPSS/CVSS scoring, exploit references (ExploitDB, Metasploit), GitHub repository signals, and Twitter mention timelines for over 200,000 vulnerabilities. Coalition is backed by Allianz X, Valor Equity Partners, Ribbit Capital, Mitsui Sumitomo, Kinetic Partners and other strategic insurers (Allianz, Arch, Ascot, Zurich, Swiss Re, Lloyd's syndicates); it raised a $250M Series F in 2022 at a $5B valuation. The Active Insurance API is partner-gated (no public OpenAPI), but the ESS API is fully public with OpenAPI 3.1, an interactive docs UI, and ReDoc.

Coalition publishes 2 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Cve API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Cyber Insurance, Insurance, Insurtech, Risk Management, and Cybersecurity.

The Coalition catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Coalition’s developer surface includes engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 27 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

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):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
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)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Access Clarity scores 21.1 — up to +15.8 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 23.8 — up to +15.2 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 18.4 — up to +10.6 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/coalition-inc/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/coalition-inc 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
Insurance and Insurtech	standard	17.2 (thin)	-	-

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.
