Amazon Signer

AWS Signer is a fully managed code-signing service to ensure the trust and integrity of your code. It manages the code-signing certificate public and private keys and enables central management and deployment of code signing certificates for Lambda functions and IoT devices.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Amazon Signer the way a machine reads it — 214 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 Signer scores 68.3/100 (strong), 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 Signer

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Amazon Signer. 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 5

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 Signer Revocations#signatureTimestamp&platformId&profileVersionArn&jobArn&certificateHashes API

The Revocations#signatureTimestamp&platformId&profileVersionArn&jobArn&certificateHashes API from Amazon Signer — 1 operation(s) for revocations#signaturetimestamp&platformid&pr...

Amazon Signer Signing Jobs API

The Signing Jobs API from Amazon Signer — 4 operation(s) for signing jobs.

Amazon Signer Signing Platforms API

The Signing Platforms API from Amazon Signer — 2 operation(s) for signing platforms.

Amazon Signer Signing Profiles API

The Signing Profiles API from Amazon Signer — 5 operation(s) for signing profiles.

Amazon Signer Tags API

The Tags API from Amazon Signer — 2 operation(s) for tags.

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.

Features 6

The notable capabilities this provider advertises, captured as structured features so they can be searched and compared instead of read one landing page at a time.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

Centralized Code Signing

Security administrators define signing policies and which IAM roles can sign code.

Certificate Management

Automatically manages code-signing certificate public and private keys.

Lifecycle Management

Central management and deployment of code-signing certificates.

Compliance Tracking

Integration with AWS CloudTrail tracks who generates signatures for compliance.

Fully Managed

No infrastructure to maintain — fully managed code signing service.

Signature Revocation

Revoke signing profiles and individual signatures with effective timestamps.

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.

JSON Schema 65

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.

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.

Security Posture 4

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.
