Conjur

Conjur is CyberArk's open-source secrets management platform. It automatically secures secrets used by privileged users and machine identities across CI/CD, cloud, and Kubernetes environments. Conjur uses a role-based access control (RBAC) model, policy-as-code, and pluggable cloud-native authenticators (AWS IAM, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, JWT, OIDC, LDAP) to issue short-lived access tokens and broker secret retrieval, rotation, and auditing. Originally Conjur Inc. (backed by Amplify Partners), it was acquired by CyberArk and is now part of Palo Alto Networks. The Conjur / CyberArk Secrets Manager REST API is published as an OpenAPI 3.1 definition with official Ruby, Python, Go, Java, and .NET client libraries, a CLI, and an official MCP server.

Conjur publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: / CyberArk Secrets Manager API. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Secrets Management, Identity and Access Management, and DevSecOps.

Conjur’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, CLI, changelog, and 20 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 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):

Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

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
Jenkins Plugins + CD Foundation Landscape	standard	34.5 (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 4

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.
