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):
  • 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
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
  • Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs
  • Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's
  • Dry-Run / Simulate Mode +4 pts — OpenAPI: destructive operations expose a dry_run / simulate / preview / validate_only parameter

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 5

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.

  description: The Honeycomb Events API is the lowest-level interface for sending event data to Honeycomb. It supports both
    single event creation and batch event submission, allowing developers to send structured telemetry data directly to Honeycomb
    datasets. While Honeycomb recommends using OpenTelemetry or Beeline SDKs for most instrumentation use cases, the Events
    API provides direct control for custom integrations and specialized data pipelines.

  description: The Honeycomb Queries API allows developers to programmatically create and manage query specifications within
    Honeycomb. Queries are used to identify and reference queries across other parts of the API, including boards, triggers,
    and query annotations. Developers can run queries asynchronously by creating a Query Result that references a Query ID,
    then polling the query result endpoint until the data is ready. The Query Data API complements this by providing access
    to query results.

  name: Honeycomb Anomaly Detection API
  description: 'Anomaly Detection identifies Signals - patterns in your services that deviate from their historical baseline
    - and can notify Recipients when a Signal turns anomalous.

    Each Signal is scoped to a service in a dataset and monitors one of the following:

    - **`error_rate`**: The fraction of erroring requests, compared to a trained normal band.

    - **`presence`**: Whether the service is emitting spans at all.


    Signals progress through the following statuses:

    - **`onboarding`**: The Signal has been created but does not yet have enough data to train.

    - **`normal`**: The Signal is trained and monitoring for anomalies.

    - **`anomalous`**: The Signal has detected an anomaly.

    - **`off`**: The Signal has been disabled and will not fire.

    - **`ineligible`**: The Signal cannot train because its service is not sending enough traffic to establish a reliable
    baseline.


    This API allows you to list Signals, retrieve a Signal with its assigned Recipients, page through a Signal''s historical
    anomalies, and update a Signal''s enabled state, sensitivity, and Recipient assignments.


    ## Authorization


    The API key must have the **Manage Signals** permission. Learn more about [API keys here](https://docs.honeycomb.io/configure/environments/manage-api-keys/).'
