Rhizome Ai

Rhizome AI is an AI-powered regulatory research platform for pharmaceutical and medical device companies. It lets regulatory affairs teams ask questions and receive cited answers grounded in primary-source documents from health authorities worldwide (FDA, EMA, Health Canada, Swissmedic, MHRA, TGA and others across 10+ agencies), retrieving from up to a thousand documents without hallucinating. Beyond the web application, Rhizome AI publishes an enterprise HTTP API that exposes BM25 keyword search across the regulatory document corpus and full-text, page-by-page document retrieval, authenticated with an x-api-key header. A YC-backed company, Rhizome AI was surfaced as a portfolio-company lead and enriched from its public developer documentation.

Rhizome Ai publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: Documents API. Tagged areas include Company, Regulatory, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, and Life Sciences.

The Rhizome Ai catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Rhizome Ai’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, support, pricing, and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

5 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 15.5 — up to +21.1 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 21.1 — up to +10.3 composite points
Contract Governance scores 18.2 — up to +9.8 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/rhizome-ai/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/rhizome-ai to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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
Canada Medical Device Licensing (Health Canada MDALL licence holders, incl. SaMD)	undeclared	-	-	1

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 2

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.
