Socket

Socket is a developer-first software supply chain security platform that protects applications from supply chain attacks by deeply inspecting open source dependencies across npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, NuGet, RubyGems, Cargo and more. Socket detects malware, hidden code, typosquats, install scripts, protestware, and risky capabilities in packages, scores their quality and risk, and enforces security and license policies across repositories through a REST API, CLI, GitHub App, MCP server, and static reachability analysis. Founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh and backed by a16z, Socket is used by engineering teams at organizations including Vercel, Replit, and Brave.

Socket publishes 20 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Alerts API, API Tokens API, Audit Log API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Software Supply Chain Security, Dependency Scanning, and Software Composition Analysis.

The Socket catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Socket’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, support, authentication, changelog, CLI, and 30 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):

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
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
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
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.

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
Software Supply Chain (SBOM, Signing, Open Source Security)	standard	44.1	-	-
Browser Extension Stores (company-published Firefox add-ons; Chrome Web Store unreadable)	standard	44.1	-	-

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 3

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.
