ReasonBlocks

ReasonBlocks is a Y Combinator (Spring 2026) startup building a drop-in runtime layer that makes production AI agents observable, self-correcting, and cheaper to run. The platform detects failing agent trajectories (loops and redundant work), compresses stale tool outputs and message histories to cut token spend, and builds a private learning library of reasoning patterns (E-traces) that steer future runs. It ships as a Python SDK with first-party integrations for LangChain, LangGraph, the OpenAI Agents SDK, and the Anthropic Claude / Claude Agent SDK, plus a language-agnostic REST API (rb-api) so any custom agent harness can wire in over three HTTP calls. Reported results include a 42% accuracy gain and ~52% token reduction on SWE-bench Pro.

ReasonBlocks publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Billing API, Codebase Findings API, Health API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, AI Agents, Agent Observability, LLM, and Developer Tools.

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

ReasonBlocks’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, sandbox, and 17 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
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

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
