3GPP Scout
3GPP Scout provides a hosted 3GPP MCP server and REST API that enables semantic search across the full 3GPP TS/TR corpus from Release 15 through Release 20. Users can query standards documents, receive exact release, section, and source text citations, and integrate the service via AI agents. The free Explorer plan offers 150 API/MCP requests per month without requiring a credit card.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles 3GPP Scout the way a machine reads it — 25 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — 3GPP Scout scores 31.0/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 45/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
the company serves an API surface but requires credentials before any description of it can be read
An API exists — we simply could not reach the contract without credentials or a sales conversation. This one is 3GPP Scout's to change: publishing the reference and a machine-readable spec at a public URL, while keeping key issuance behind whatever gate they like, would let an integrator evaluate the API before committing to a call.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile 3GPP Scout
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for 3GPP Scout. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 13
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
3GPP Scout Analysis API
The analysis API from 3GPP Scout — 2 operation(s) for analysis.
3GPP Scout Documents API
The documents API from 3GPP Scout — 2 operation(s) for documents.
3GPP Scout Follow API
The follow API from 3GPP Scout — 8 operation(s) for follow.
3GPP Scout Images API
The images API from 3GPP Scout — 1 operation(s) for images.
3GPP Scout Meetings API
The meetings API from 3GPP Scout — 4 operation(s) for meetings.
3GPP Scout News API
The news API from 3GPP Scout — 1 operation(s) for news.
3GPP Scout Organizations API
The organizations API from 3GPP Scout — 2 operation(s) for organizations.
3GPP Scout Positions API
The positions API from 3GPP Scout — 2 operation(s) for positions.
3GPP Scout Rfcs API
The rfcs API from 3GPP Scout — 2 operation(s) for rfcs.
3GPP Scout Search API
The search API from 3GPP Scout — 3 operation(s) for search.
3GPP Scout Sections API
The sections API from 3GPP Scout — 6 operation(s) for sections.
3GPP Scout System API
The system API from 3GPP Scout — 1 operation(s) for system.
3GPP Scout Tdocs API
The tdocs API from 3GPP Scout — 5 operation(s) for tdocs.

Agent Skills 1
An agent skill packages the how-to for driving these APIs from an assistant — the prompts, the sequence, the guardrails — so the knowledge to use the API travels with it.

AGENT SKILLSemantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

This is an independent, third-party profile of 3GPP Scout, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
