ACI.dev

ACI.dev (Aipolabs Agent-Computer Interface) is an open-source tool-calling platform that hooks AI agents into 600+ pre-built tools through direct function calling or a unified Model Context Protocol server. Maintained by Aipotheosis Labs (Aipolabs) under Apache 2.0, ACI provides multi-tenant OAuth2 and API-key authentication, per-project App Configurations, natural-language permission guardrails, OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible function definitions, Python and TypeScript SDKs, and the unified aci-mcp server with ACI_SEARCH_FUNCTIONS and ACI_EXECUTE_FUNCTION meta-tools. The sister project Gate22 adds an open-source MCP gateway and control plane for governing which tools agents can use, what they can do, and how it is audited.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles ACI.dev the way a machine reads it — 40 machine-readable artifacts across 4 APIs, 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 — ACI.dev scores 47.0/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

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.

How we profile ACI.dev

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for ACI.dev. 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 4

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.

ACI.dev app-configurations API

The app-configurations API from ACI.dev — 2 operation(s) for app-configurations.

ACI.dev apps API

The apps API from ACI.dev — 2 operation(s) for apps.

ACI.dev functions API

The functions API from ACI.dev — 3 operation(s) for functions.

ACI.dev linked-accounts API

The linked-accounts API from ACI.dev — 4 operation(s) for linked-accounts.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Semantic 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.

Spectral Rules 2

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.

JSON Schema 9

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.

Examples 3

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 2

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.
