Agrist
AGRIST Inc. (AGRIST株式会社) is a Japanese deep-tech agricultural robotics company founded in October 2019 and headquartered in Shintomi-cho, Koyu-gun, Miyazaki Prefecture, with an AI robot farm in Higashikushira (Kagoshima), an AI robot test facility in Shintomi-cho and the AGRIST Joso Farm in Joso City, Ibaraki. Its flagship product is "L", an automatic bell-pepper harvesting robot that travels along overhead wires strung between greenhouse rows rather than on ground rails, using multiple cameras and a proprietary computer-vision model to find and cut harvest-ready fruit through layered foliage; a cucumber harvesting robot followed. Around the hardware the company sells AGRIST Ai, a greenhouse cultivation-support and yield-forecasting system fed by robot patrol data and environmental sensors, and it operates its own farms plus Smart Agri University (SAU), a nine-month smart-agriculture training program. AGRIST is venture-backed through a Series B that includes Mizuho Capital, Global Infrastructure Management, Nippon Steel Kowa Real Estate, Nippon Express Holdings, Takamiya and Sparx, and has taken more than 27 domestic and international awards including a CES 2023 Innovation Award and a Japanese Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award. It is a robotics and farm-operations business, not a software vendor: as of 2026-09-13 it publishes no developer program, no public API, no SDK and no machine-readable API contract of any kind.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Agrist the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Agrist scores 7.6/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). 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
AGRIST sells harvesting robots and the bundled AGRIST Ai cultivation-support system directly to greenhouse farmers as a turnkey package, and its 48-page WordPress site has no developer, documentation, API or integration section at all — contract discovery against agrist.com and www.agrist.com returned a hard 404 for /openapi.json, /llms.txt, /apis.json and every named /.well-known/ path, the only certificate-issued subdomain (farmpr.agrist.com) no longer resolves in DNS, and the single machine-readable surface on the domain is the stock WordPress core REST API at /wp-json whose 231 routes are entirely CMS and plugin namespaces (wp/v2, oembed, Wordfence, Site Kit, SiteOrigin), not an AGRIST product.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Agrist does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

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 Agrist
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Agrist. 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.
Security Posture 1
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Agrist, 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.
