CollectSEA

CollectSEA (Collective Software Engineering Analogues) matches a planned design or an existing software or AI application to documented real-world failures (outages, security breaches and AI-agent incidents drawn from postmortems, SEC filings, court records and security advisories) and returns source-linked precedents, failure patterns and engineering safeguards for engineers and AI coding agents. It is offered free as a website, a REST API (POST /api/analyze, documented with an OpenAPI schema), a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server and an open CC BY 4.0 dataset.

CollectSEA publishes 11 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Analyze API, App Context API, Benchmark API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Company, Software Reliability, Security, Incident Analysis, and AI Agents.

The CollectSEA catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

CollectSEA’s developer surface includes changelog, documentation, API reference, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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):

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) Ask about this →
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) Ask about this →
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0 Ask about this →

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.
