Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
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):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • 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
  • Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)

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.

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.

  name: UpCloud Ip Address API
  description: "The UpCloud network has public and private IP addresses.\n\nPublic IP addresses are used to connect to the\
    \ server from the Internet.\n\nPrivate Utility network addresses are available for all servers within a\nsingle account,\
    \ and can communicate with each other globally as long\nas the servers have the utility network interfaces configured.\
    \ This is\nadded to servers by default.\n\nA server has a minimum of zero and a maximum of five public IPv4 and IPv6\n\
    addresses. Every server can have one utility network IPv4 address only,\nand must have at least one IP address. The UpCloud\
    \ API assigns the IP addresses\nautomatically in networks configured to use DHCP. IP addresses cannot be\nreserved for\
    \ later use, except for floating IPs that can be reserved and\nswitched from server to another freely within their specific\
    \ zone.\n\nThe operating system running on the server will see a separate network interface\nper IP address. On a typical\
    \ server, there are three network interfaces. The\nfirst network interface is assigned to the public network and the second\
    \ to the\nUtility network. If the server has an IPv6 address configured it will use the\nthird network interface. DHCP\
    \ service is provided on all public IPv4 network\ninterfaces and all private DHCP-enabled networks for automatic configuration\n\
    of the correct IP address. IPv6 network interfaces should use stateless\naddress autoconfiguration (SLAAC) with IPv6 privacy\
    \ extensions disabled.\nOn IPv6-only server DNS parameters can be obtained with stateless DHCPv6.\n\nAdditionally, there\
    \ are floating IPs: IPv4 addresses that can be\nattached to any IPv4 interface in their specific zone (eg. de-fra1 or\
    \ fi-hel2).\nFloating IP addresses can be instantly switched from one server to another when\ndoing maintenance or dealing\
    \ with technical issues. More information on floating\nIPs and their configuration can be found from [our tutorials](https://upcloud.com/community/tutorials/floating-ip-addresses/).\n\
    \n## Release policy\n\nThe release policy defines what happens to an IP address when its dependent resource is deleted,\
    \ such as a server or service it's attached to. The following values are supported:\n\n`release`: The address is also\
    \ deleted. This applies to both normal and floating IP addresses.\n\n`keep`: For normal (non-floating) IP addresses, they\
    \ are converted to detached floating IPs when their dependent resource is deleted. For floating IP addresses, they remain\
    \ as detached floating IPs that can be reattached elsewhere.\n\nFloating IP addresses are created with `keep` as default\
    \ policy, ensuring they remain available even after dependency deletion.\n\nThe release policy can be set when creating\
    \ a new IP address or modified for an existing one through the API.\n\nNote that release policy functionality is currently\
    \ only supported for public IPv4 addresses.\n\n## Service delegation\n\nAssign existing Floating IPv4 addresses to a service\
    \ instead of a server. This enables the service to manage the IP address and use your dedicated floating IP address in\
    \ the service's DNS records.\n\nDelegated IP addresses can be tracked with the `is_delegated` attribute in the API response.\n\
    \nWhen an IP address is delegated to a service, it becomes subject to specific access restrictions. The IP address becomes\
    \ managed by the service until you explicitly remove it. During the delegation:  \n\n* You cannot delete the IP address.\n\
    * You cannot modify its MAC address.\n* You can only update the release policy and PTR record.\n\nThese restrictions ensure\
    \ service stability and are automatically lifted once the IP address is removed from the service and as long as the release\
    \ policy is set to `keep` so the IP address remains available in your account.\n\nCurrently only Load Balancer supports\
    \ IP address delegation."

    \ network interface. A cloud server may belong to any number of virtual networks at the same time.\nServer interfaces\
    \ are identified and ordered by their index.\n\n## Network types\n\n### Public networks\n\nPublic networks provide internet\
    \ connectivity to the cloud servers. Public networks are automatically added as public [IP addresses](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/ip-address)\
    \ are attached to cloud servers.\n\n### Utility network\n\nThe Utility network is a simple to use, yet functionally limited\
    \ network connecting all cloud servers under the same UpCloud account. All cloud servers are connected to the Utility\
    \ network by default. This way the Utility network forms a secure connection between all servers within one account, no\
    \ matter where they are located. IP addressing on the Utility network is specified automatically and cannot be changed.\
    \ The Utility network is limited to one connection per cloud server. SDN private networks are to be used for production\
    \ workloads and any advanced network setups. The Utility network is added by [adding a utility IP address](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/ip-address#assign-ip-address).\n\
    \n### Private virtual LAN\n\nSDN private networks provide flexible and customisable network configuration options beyond\
    \ that of the Utility network and are recommended for production workloads.\n\nThese networks provide secure connections\
    \ between attached cloud servers using dedicated network interfaces. Servers can be attached and detached from SDN private\
    \ networks at will using the API commands. SDN private networks allow a practically unlimited number of cloud servers\
    \ to be attached simultaneously and a cloud server may belong to any number of SDN private networks at the same time.\
    \ IP addressing may be defined automatically or custom IP addressing may be used. SDN private networks are configured\
    \ per zone allowing cloud server on the same zone to be attached.\n\n#### Available IP subnets in Private virtual LANs\n\
    \nGenerally, you can use any _global unicast_ address for your subnet address, even public ones. However, we recommend\
    \ staying with well-known private address ranges.\n\nPrivate address ranges include: **10.0.0.0/8**, **172.16.0.0/12**,\
    \ **192.168.0.0/16**.\n\nAllowed subnet prefix lengths (sizes): minimum length 8 bits, maximum length 29 bits.\n\nExcluded\
    \ ranges:\n\n* 100.64.0.0/10 (CGNAT)\n* 127.0.0.0/8 (localhost)\n* 224.0.0.0/4 (IP multicast)\n* 169.254.0.0/16 (link\
    \ local)\n\nThe above ranges are not available for use in Private virtual LANs.\n\nFor more information on:\n * adding\
    \ network interfaces to cloud servers  [see](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/server#add-a-network-interface).\n\
    \ * modifying network interfaces from cloud servers  [see](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/server#modify-a-network-interface).\n\
    \ * deleting network interfaces from cloud servers  [see](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/server#delete-a-network-interface-2).\n\
    \ * assigning IP addresses to cloud servers [see](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/server#add-an-ip-address-to-a-network-interface).\n\
    \ * deleting addresses from cloud servers [see](https://upcloudltd.github.io/upcloud-openapi-spec/api/server#delete-an-ip-address-from-a-network-interface)."

    of unstructured data for example storing large datasets like photos, music, or files in online collaboration services.
    All customers data is encrypted by default using encryption at rest.


    Managed Object Storage API commands allow creation, management and deletion of Object Storage devices as well as viewing
    Object Storage network data usage. Managed Object Storage is fully S3-compliant allowing file and bucket management using
    existing S3 clients.


    API follows JSON Merge Patch semantics. Note when modifying nested structures payload should contain entire array, which
    in a sense is PUT within PATCH for them. JSON Merge Patch uses null to explicitly indicate property deletion while absent
    properties are ignored, i.e. not modified.'

  description: 'Plans are preconfigured server configurations with fixed price. Each plan includes certain number of CPU cores,
    memory amount, storage and transfer quota. Most plans also include one public IPv4 address. Utility IPv4 addresses and
    public IPv6 addresses are currently free of charge, so they are not included in plan.


    In addition to plans available in a zone, there is always possibility for free scaling of CPU, memory and disk resources.
    In such cases the plan used by server will be reported as "custom" by API. It is possible to change existing "custom"
    server to a fixed plan provided that CPU cores and memory amount matches the selected plan.


    GPU plans also have additional `gpu_amount` and `gpu_model` attributes, which indicate the number of GPUs and their model
    included in the plan.


    If server''s storage or network resources do not fit to plan''s specification, they are billed on an hourly basis. The
    storage device(s) and IP addresses included in fixed plan price have `part_of_plan` attribute with value "yes" in server
    details response.'
