Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications 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.
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/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/responsys: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

x-pointer-notes:
  omitted_deliberately:
  - type: MCPServer
    reason: Removed 2026-08-13. mcp/responsys-mcp.yml is a DERIVED candidate tool list with deployment.mode = none — no hosted
      endpoint, no stdio package, nothing an agent can reach. The pointer asserted an MCP server Oracle does not ship. The
      artifact stays; the pointer does not.
  - type: WellKnown
    reason: well-known/responsys-well-known.yml records an absence — every /.well-known/ path 404s on docs.oracle.com, 403s
      on www.oracle.com, and the responsys.net API hosts refuse TCP 443 from the public internet.
  - type: AgentCard
    reason: No agent card served on any host; probed both /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json.
  - type: Idempotency
    reason: Responsys documents no idempotency key and no retry-safety contract. See conventions/responsys-conventions.yml.
  - type: StatusPage
    reason: No public Responsys status page. ocistatus.oraclecloud.com covers Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, a different service,
      and is not recorded as one.
  - type: Deprecation
    reason: No published deprecation policy and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header support for the REST API.
  - type: Pricing
    reason: No pricing page — https://www.oracle.com/cx/marketing/campaign-management/pricing/ returns 404. Recorded as plan_count
      0 in plans/.
x-coverage:
  state: covered
  note: 'Round 2 found the machine-readable contract round 1 missed — a genuine Swagger 2.0 (63 paths, 88 operations) served
    at https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/marketing/responsys-rest-api/swagger.json — plus a real webhook surface (Event
    Notification API, 26 event types). Two walls remain and are recorded rather than guessed: the Responsys API hosts refuse
    TCP 443 from the public internet, so nothing on them can be probed live; and docs.oracle.com serves a 24,349-byte soft-404
    shell with HTTP 200 for every missing path, so path probes there must be verified by body, never by status.'
