GridPoint

GridPoint is a Reston, Virginia clean-technology company, founded in 2003, that builds energy management and sustainability systems for commercial buildings, enterprises and government agencies. It combines its own edge hardware — EC2000 and Edge controllers, submeters, thermostats, lighting control panels and BACnet/Modbus gateways — with the cloud-based GridPoint Energy Manager analytics platform, delivering HVAC and lighting automation, equipment-level submetering, refrigeration monitoring, demand management, grid services and carbon/sustainability reporting for multi-site portfolios in retail, convenience, restaurant, automotive and public-sector estates. GridPoint sells the platform as a subscription service and integrates with existing building assets rather than requiring a rip-and-replace. It operates a customer application, a partner commissioning channel and a public knowledge base, but publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no machine-readable API contract; the only machine-readable artifacts it serves anonymously are the OpenID Connect discovery and JWKS documents of its own authorization server.

GridPoint is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Energy Management, Buildings, and Building Automation.

GridPoint’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 23 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document Ask about this →
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship Ask about this →
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author 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 →
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes Ask about this →

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
Building Automation (HVAC, BACnet, KNX, smart buildings)	undeclared	-	-	-

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.
