OpenID AuthZEN

The OpenID Foundation’s AuthZEN working group standardizes how applications ask a policy decision point for an authorization decision. Two working-group drafts adopted in June 2026 extend it to agents: AARP for prerequisites such as approvals and consent, and COAZ, a profile for MCP tool authorization.

Providers that carry OpenID AuthZEN 2

These providers' own APIs.json profiles carry OpenID AuthZEN as a tag — the provider's statement that the standard is part of what it does. APIs.io has not verified the implementation on this page; the de facto profiles on this site are where that measurement exists. Ordered by Kin Score.
