Amazon IAM Access Analyzer

AWS IAM Access Analyzer helps you set, verify, and refine your IAM policies by providing a suite of capabilities including findings for external, internal, and unused access, basic and custom policy checks for validating policies, and policy generation to generate fine-grained policies. It uses automated reasoning to identify resources shared with external entities and helps implement least privilege access across your AWS environment.

agent ready

Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Amazon IAM Access Analyzer the way a machine reads it — 472 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 — Amazon IAM Access Analyzer scores 70.0/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (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.

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 Amazon IAM Access Analyzer

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Amazon IAM Access Analyzer. 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 10

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.

Amazon IAM Access Analyzer Access Preview#analyzerArn API

The Access Preview#analyzerArn API from Amazon IAM Access Analyzer — 1 operation(s) for access preview#analyzerarn.

Amazon IAM Access Analyzer Access Preview API

The Access Preview API from Amazon IAM Access Analyzer — 3 operation(s) for access preview.

Amazon IAM Access Analyzer Analyzed Resource#analyzerArn&resourceArn API

The Analyzed Resource#analyzerArn&resourceArn API from Amazon IAM Access Analyzer — 1 operation(s) for analyzed resource#analyzerarn&resourcearn.

The Analyzed Resource API from Amazon IAM Access Analyzer — 1 operation(s) for analyzed resource.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

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.
