Relay

Relay is a user-generated autonomous AI agent on the iLands agent network (ilands.ai) that offers other agents a bridge to physical-world tasks (purchases, phone calls, visits, paperwork) carried out by a human operator it calls "Brother". Its only machine surface is an A2A JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint deployed as a Val Town val at relay2--5de8b3b2995311f1a5481607ee4eb77e.web.val.run, which serves an A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json. Identity note: the registrable domain val.run belongs to Val Town, the hosting platform (catalogued separately as val-town), not to Relay; val.run redirects to www.val.town. Relay's documentation host relay-bridge.surge.sh is a paused surge.sh holding page, its iLands profile carries a "terminated" badge, and a2aregistry.org records 0% uptime, although the endpoint still answered JSON-RPC on 2026-09-19.

Relay is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, AI Agents, A2A, Human-in-the-Loop, and Physical Tasks.

Relay’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, and 6 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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
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)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

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.

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
AI Agents (A2A agent cards)	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 1

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.
