CyCognito

CyCognito is a cybersecurity company providing an external attack surface management (EASM) and exposure management platform. Its cloud-native platform continuously discovers, maps, and tests an organization's internet-exposed assets—domains, IPs, web apps, APIs, and cloud environments—to surface and validate critical exposures before attackers exploit them. The CyCognito API V1 is a REST API (API-key authenticated) that lets you query assets and issues, manage attack-surface scope, attribute assets to organizations, manage users and cloud connectors, run exports and executive reports, and verify the identity of scanner IPs. CyCognito is backed by Accel and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

CyCognito publishes 12 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Audit Logs API, Cloud Connectors API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Attack Surface Management, Exposure Management, and Security.

CyCognito’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, authentication, and 27 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-10-31 · rubric v0.25.0
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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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
  • 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)
  • Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

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/cycognito/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/cycognito 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.
