Binarly

Binarly is a firmware and software supply-chain security company whose Binarly Transparency Platform performs binary-native analysis of compiled software, firmware, and container images without requiring source code. It detects known and unknown vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, cryptographic materials, malicious code, and missing hardening mitigations across UEFI, bootloaders, Linux packages, and application binaries, then generates SBOM, VEX, CBOM, and PQC-compliance artifacts for supply-chain assurance. The platform exposes a REST API (v4, Keycloak/OIDC-authenticated) so producers can automate firmware scanning inside CI/CD pipelines and enterprise buyers can programmatically assess vendor software. Binarly also maintains open firmware-research tooling such as the FwHunt rule format and fwhunt-scan. The company was surfaced as a portfolio company of Canaan Partners.

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 Binarly the way a machine reads it — 27 machine-readable artifacts across 20 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 — Binarly scores 50.0/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 46/100 (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 Binarly

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Binarly. 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 20

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.

Arazzo Workflows 3

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Security Posture 3

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.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
