Tigera

Tigera is the creator of Project Calico, the open-source networking and network-security engine for Kubernetes, and the company behind Calico Open Source, Calico Enterprise and Calico Cloud. Its products deliver container networking (BGP, eBPF, VPP and standard Linux data planes), tiered network policy and microsegmentation, egress gateways and egress access control, cluster mesh, an Envoy-based ingress gateway, workload-based IDS/IPS/WAF and threat detection, and full-stack observability (Service Graph, flow/DNS/L7 logs, packet capture) for Kubernetes clusters. The programmable surface is Kubernetes-native: the projectcalico.org/v3 aggregated API server exposes 27 custom resources through a published Swagger 2.0 definition, the Goldmane gRPC service exposes aggregated flow observability, calicoctl and kubectl are the first-party CLIs, and Calico Cloud adds a SaaS management plane with a read-only Usage API and security-event webhooks.

Tigera publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including APIS API, Projectcalico Org API, Projectcalico Org V3 API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Kubernetes, Networking, Network Security, and Container Security.

The Tigera catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Tigera’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 40 more developer resources.

Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers. This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn. If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your provider repo and we will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 90 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 10. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 90% 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/. 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 github.com/api-evangelist/tigera: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  name: Goldmane Flows API
  description: Goldmane is the Calico flow aggregation and network-observability service introduced in Calico Open Source
    3.30. It exposes a gRPC API for querying aggregated flow data — List for point-in-time queries, Stream for a long-running
    stream of new flows, FilterHints for progressive discovery of filter criteria such as namespaces and source/destination
    names — plus statistics and flow-ingestion services. Tigera publishes the proto3 definition in the projectcalico/calico
    repository and documents it on the company blog.

  description: A remote Model Context Protocol server published on the tigera.io host, advertised through RFC 8414 OAuth authorization-server
    metadata and RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. The server fronts the Tigera WordPress content estate (the marketing
    site, blog and resources), not the Calico cluster API. Authorization is OAuth 2.1 authorization-code with PKCE (S256),
    a single `mcp` scope, public clients (token_endpoint_auth_method none) and client-ID metadata documents. tools/list is
    authenticated — an anonymous JSON-RPC call returns 401 mcp_unauthorized — so the live tool schemas require an authorized
    session.

  description: A read-only REST API on the Calico Cloud SaaS management plane that returns the same vCPU usage and managed-cluster
    data shown on the Usage Metrics page, for capacity planning, FinOps and license-compliance workflows. Three documented
    datasets — contracts (start/end dates, vCPU hours, package, add-ons), summary (per-project vCPU totals and usage over
    time) and managed clusters (per-cluster usage rows, optional project filter, CSV output) — with startTime, endTime and
    granularity query parameters. Authentication is an organization-scoped read-only API key generated in the web console.
