Increase's API program stands out for its strong API design, operational reliability, and agent discoverability — partners and agents can find and trust the surface. md or runnable collection to give AI agents the grounded, executable context they need to integrate correctly.
API DesignA clean, typed, well-governed API contract agents can reason about3 pass0 warn0 fail100A+
| Signal | Points | Findings | Rationale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pass | Schema coverage & depthvia sdk | 25/25 | 4173/4175 (100%) public params are fully typed (no any/**kwargs). Analyzer reports not all methods have a derivable input schema. Investigated: sdk 100%. | Typed, complete request/response schemas are what make agent function-calling possible. |
| pass | Security & governance hygienevia wellknown | 15/15 | security.txt valid at https://increase.com/.well-known/security.txt (Contact + unexpired Expires). Investigated: wellknown 100%. | No leaked secrets, no critical lint violations, no OWASP API Top-10 spec smells, and a published vulnerability-disclosure channel. |
| pass | Example coveragevia docs | 10/10 | Code samples present on 1/18 pages across 2 language(s); broader multi-language coverage missing. Investigated: docs 100%, sdk 100%. | Examples carry shape semantics schemas under-specify — for humans and agents alike. |
| na | Machine-readable, versioned contract | —/25 | No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run. | A current OpenAPI version with a declared versioning scheme lets agents reason about the contract. |
| na | Auth declared & discoverable | —/25 | No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run. | Agents can only authenticate when auth is declared, scoped, and discoverable. |
Developer ExperienceThe context both developers and agents need to integrate fast — onboarding, code samples, complete descriptions and worked examples2 pass1 warn2 fail58D
| Signal | Points | Findings | Rationale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pass | Code samples in docsvia docs | 18/18 | Code samples present on 1/18 pages across 2 language(s); broader multi-language coverage missing. Investigated: docs 100%. | Multi-language samples shorten time-to-first-call. |
| warn | Description completenessvia sdk | 13.9/15 | 224/242 operations carry a description. Investigated: sdk 93%. | Complete descriptions are the context humans and agents need to use endpoints. |
| pass | Changelog publishedvia sdk | 13/13 | Newest official SDK activity 0 day(s) ago. Investigated: sdk 100%. | A published changelog lets partners track changes without surprise. |
| fail | Self-service developer portalvia docs | 0/29 | No signup page detected across conventional paths (/signup, /sign-up, /register, /get-started, /console/signup, /dashboard/signup, /try, /try-free, /free, /free-trial, /start, /start-free). Investigated: docs 0%. | Self-serve key/account creation is the fast first call for partners, with no sales gate. |
| fail | Quickstart presentvia docs | 0/25 | No quickstart/getting-started page found at the conventional paths. Investigated: docs 0%. | A quickstart is the fastest path from landing page to first successful call. |
Agent DiscoveryPartners and their agents can find your APIs — llms.txt, registries, crawlable and reachable docs2 pass2 warn0 fail91A+
| Signal | Points | Findings | Rationale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pass | Docs reachable, not hard auth-gatedvia docs | 30/30 | All 50 sampled pages are publicly accessible. Investigated: docs 100%. | Agents can only index and fetch docs they can reach — past auth gates and over correct HTTP semantics. |
| pass | Registry & SDK presencevia docs | 28/28 | Indexed on Context7 (websites/increase, 3739 snippets). Investigated: docs 100%, cli 100%, sdk 92%, mcp 0%, wellknown 0%. | Listing in MCP registries and publishing SDKs puts the API where agents and their tooling look. |
| warn | llms.txt present, valid & comprehensivevia docs | 22.5/30 | No llms.txt directive found in HTML of any of 50 sampled pages. Investigated: docs 75%, sdk 0%. | A valid, comprehensive llms.txt is the machine-readable entry point for agents. |
| warn | Crawlable / AEOvia wellknown | 9/12 | Sitemap present (1 entries) but carries no lastmod values. Investigated: wellknown 75%. | Bots allowed plus a fresh sitemap make docs findable by agent crawlers. |
Agent UnderstandingAgents can correctly interpret your APIs — machine-readable errors, consistent descriptions, structured data, parseable docs1 pass2 warn1 fail73B
| Signal | Points | Findings | Rationale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pass | Machine-readable errors (RFC 9457)via sdk | 28/28 | Single base error "APIError" with 72 subclasses. Investigated: sdk 100%. | RFC 9457 problem details and a documented error-code inventory let agents parse failures without burning tokens. |
| warn | Agent-navigable, token-efficient docsvia docs | 13.4/22 | 13 of 49 pages have substantive content differences between markdown and HTML (avg 18% missing). Investigated: docs 61%. | Server-rendered, clean, small-footprint docs are what an agent can cheaply fetch and parse correctly. |
| warn | Docs structured datavia docs | 4/8 | OpenGraph/meta tags only across 17 assessed pages — no JSON-LD for answer engines to cite. Investigated: docs 50%. | Structured data (JSON-LD/schema.org) on docs pages gives agents an unambiguous parse target and is what answer engines cite. Detected on the JS-rendered head (Firecrawl) for a bounded page budget, so JS-injected JSON-LD is now caught; pages we can't render are excluded rather than failed. |
| fail | Agent instructions file (AGENTS.md)via wellknown | 0/10 | No AGENTS.md at the site root or /.well-known/. Investigated: wellknown 0%. | An AGENTS.md gives coding agents explicit setup, auth, and usage instructions to interpret and operate the API — beyond llms.txt's link index. |
| na | Operation purpose clarity | —/25 | No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run. | Agents select the right endpoint from its summary + operationId; clear, named operations make tool-selection reliable — the strongest driver of correct tool choice. |
| na | Description consistency across surfaces | —/7 | Only 1 surface description(s) with ≥6 tokens available; need at least 2 to compare. | Every surface tells the same story about what the product is. |
Agent UsabilityAgents have the context to use your APIs reliably, not just find them2 pass1 warn1 fail90A+
| Signal | Points | Findings | Rationale | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pass | Idempotency documentedvia sdk | 27/27 | Built-in retry machinery is present (grep-derived). Investigated: sdk 100%. | Documented idempotency lets agents retry safely. |
| warn | Pagination documented & consistentvia sdk | 21.6/22 | 56/57 list method(s) return an auto-paginating iterable. Investigated: sdk 98%. | Consistent, documented pagination lets agents traverse collections. |
| pass | Sandbox separationvia sdk | 20/20 | Sandbox environments are exposed (sandbox). Investigated: sdk 100%. | An isolated environment lets agents exercise destructive operations safely. |
| fail | Runnable collection with test scriptsvia platform | 0/9 | No public Postman workspace discovered for the org. Investigated: platform 0%. | A public, maintained collection with assertions is runnable truth agents validate against. |
| na | Rate-limit signaling | —/22 | No surface produced evidence for this capability in this run. | Machine-readable rate-limit headers let agents throttle adaptively. |
