Root (fka Slim.ai)

Root (formerly Slim.ai) is a container and dependency security company backed by Insight Partners. Its "secure supply" platform delivers end-to-end, autonomous vulnerability remediation for container images and application packages: a fleet of AI agents (Agentic Vulnerability Remediation, AVR) researches, patches, tests, and ships Root Patches within minutes of CVE publication, without base-image changes or forced version upgrades. Root operates the Root Image Catalog (cr.root.io), Library Catalog, and OS-package registry (pkg.root.io), and exposes a REST API (api.root.io) for querying patch status, security findings, subscriptions, and pulling SBOM, VEX, and provenance artifacts, plus Standard-Webhooks notifications and a first-party CLI (rootio_patcher).

Root (fka Slim.ai) publishes 20 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, API Keys API, Authentication API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Vulnerability Management, Container Security, and DevSecOps.

The Root (fka Slim.ai) catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Root (fka Slim.ai)’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, CLI, documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 23 more developer resources.
