Tools (67)

• api_coverage
  Measure how much of an API description your governance actually inspects — coverage by section, each rule's reach, and the rules that match nothing. Like test coverage, one altitude up.
• api_scorecard
  Score an API's maturity 0-100 with a letter grade across design, governance coverage, documentation, and (from an apis.json) discoverability, agent-readiness, and operations. Pass your own `ruleset` …
• apply_overlay
  Apply an OpenAPI Overlay to a document and report what each action matched. Use it for deprecation and migration choreography without forking the contract.
• audit_pipeline
  Score a repository's Spectral CI setup against an 8-point maturity rubric and return a prioritized punch-list. Pass a public `repo` ("owner/name") or `files`.
• certify_api
  Issue a tamper-evident governance certificate attesting an API passed a named ruleset at a profile threshold. A SHA-256 fingerprint lets anyone re-verify it.
• classify_api_fields
  Inventory the PII, secret, and sensitive fields an OpenAPI exposes, across parameters and request/response schemas. Run this before exposing an API to agents.
• code_snippets
  Generate runnable curl, JavaScript, and Python samples for every operation, with path params filled in and a realistic body.
• company_dimensions
  PRO — a company's investment dimensions, each read AGAINST the measured cohort: the cohort median, mean and max, this company's rank and percentile, and an index where 1.0 is exactly typical. A raw d…

  A company's weakest investment dimensions — where it is thin. Pro.
• company_peers
  PRO — the companies most comparable to this one (same sub-sector where the data supports it, same industry otherwise), each with signal totals and top dimensions. The response says which basis it use…

• company_whitespace
  PRO — what this company's peers run that it does not, ranked by how many peers carry it. The opening list for a vendor selling into the account.
• deprecation_posture
  Report every deprecated operation and whether it actually announces a sunset. The ones that go quiet are the ones that break consumers.
• diff_api_versions
  Compare two OpenAPI versions and classify every change as breaking, non-breaking, or an addition — at path, operation, parameter, request-body, and response granularity.
• entity_demand
  PRO — THE INVERSION. Every other insights tool runs company -> stack; this one runs stack -> companies: which companies show demand for a given service, tool or standard, broken down by industry. Thi…
