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/.
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/yaak: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

What adopting Yaak moves on the Kin Score 1

Yaak is an area vendor: providers adopt it to run part of their developer surface. This is the Kin Score checks its features can move for a provider that adopts it, what each one really earns, and what it earns nothing for.

api collectionscapability map3 features checked 2026-09-25 · rubric v0.22.0

Yaak is a client for the people calling an API, and nothing it produces is something the Kin Score reads on a provider. It exports a single JSON file of workspaces, not a Postman collection or an OpenAPI document, so postman_present and contract_present are out of reach; its CLI and MCP plugin let agents work in Yaak, not call the provider. The only conditional route is a public repo of Yaak request files declared as examples.

Contract Quality4.0 of 211 pts
CheckEarnsThrough
Published example corpusconditional
Contract QualityOnly if the provider publishes a repo of Yaak request files that covers real calls with real payloads and declares it as Examples; request files are not a contract or a Postman collection.		 4.0 of 4 Filesystem storage and built-in Git
Across 8977 providers that publish a contract, adopting Yaak would move 0. Median lift: composite +0.0 (90th percentile +0.0), agent readiness +0.0 (+0.0). Conditional rows excluded.
What Yaak ships that earns nothing (2)
  • Workspace export — Yaak exports only its own JSON (Postman output needs third-party converters); the check reads Postman-typed pointers only.
  • Agent-friendly CLI and MCP server plugin — The plugin exposes the user’s Yaak workspace to an agent; it is not an MCP server for the provider’s API.

A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership can. The rating is not for sale → · Full vendor facets artifact
