Artifact Hub
Artifact Hub is a CNCF incubating web-based application that enables finding, installing, and publishing cloud-native packages. Built primarily in TypeScript and Go, it addresses fragmentation in the cloud-native ecosystem by providing a single discovery experience for consumers. It supports 27+ artifact types including Helm charts, OPA policies, Falco rules, OLM operators, Tinkerbell actions, kubectl plugins, Tekton tasks, KEDA scalers, CoreDNS plugins, and more. Artifact Hub provides a searchable catalog with versioning, security reports via Trivy and Snyk, changelog tracking, and webhook notification support. Licensed under Apache 2.0 and governed by the CNCF.
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 Artifact Hub the way a machine reads it — 41 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 — Artifact Hub scores 38.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 34/100 (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 Artifact Hub
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Artifact Hub. 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.

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.
Artifact Hub Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 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.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.
Package Discovery
Unified search across 27+ cloud-native artifact types including Helm charts, Kubernetes operators, OPA policies, Falco rules, and Tekton tasks from a single interface.
Security Reports
Automated security scanning of Helm chart images using Trivy and Snyk, with visualized vulnerability reports and severity ratings.
Webhook Notifications
Configurable webhooks for receiving notifications when new package versions are published or security issues are discovered.
Repository Management
Publishers add and manage their Helm chart repositories, OCI registries, and other sources via the Artifact Hub API.
Schema and Template Explorer

Self-Hosting Support
Artifact Hub can be deployed on-premise using the official Helm chart, enabling organizations to run their own private artifact registry.
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Artifact Hub, 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.
