Forcepoint

Forcepoint is a data-first cybersecurity vendor whose platform spans Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Security Service Edge / SASE (Forcepoint ONE and Data Security Cloud | SSE), Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), and web, email, and data security. For developers and security engineers Forcepoint exposes several product REST APIs — DLP policy management, SSE Config/Log/IP and SCIM 2.0 provisioning, the NGFW Security Management Center (SMC) API, and an Appliance management API — documented on help.forcepoint.com. Auth varies by product: OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens for SSE, API-key clients for the NGFW SMC, and basic/session auth for DLP and appliances. Forcepoint publishes official automation tooling including the fp-NGFW-SMC-python SDK (PyPI), Ansible modules, and a Terraform provider, and runs a public status portal and trust center (SOC 2, ISO 27001/27017/27018, CSA STAR, FIPS 140, GDPR).

Forcepoint is listed with 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including DLP REST API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Security, Data Loss Prevention, and SASE.

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

Forcepoint’s developer surface includes getting-started guide, documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, authentication, pricing, and 24 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):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
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)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

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.

Standards implemented 3

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.
