Contrast Security
Contrast Security is an application security platform that uses instrumentation-based agents to provide Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) across Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, and Ruby applications. The platform identifies, prioritizes, and defends against vulnerabilities and attacks in real time from inside running applications. Contrast's REST API enables programmatic access to TeamServer applications, libraries, vulnerabilities, and traces, authenticated via API key plus Authorization header (Base64 of username:service_key) and an Organization ID.
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 Contrast Security the way a machine reads it — 17 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 — Contrast Security scores 33.7/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 45/100 (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 Contrast Security
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Contrast Security. 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.
Contrast TeamServer REST API
REST API for interacting with Contrast TeamServer to manage applications, libraries, vulnerabilities, traces, servers, agents, and organization settings. Requires an API key, Au...
Contrast Security Applications API
An application represents an executable unit of code that can be instrumented at runtime by an agent in Contrast. This can be a web app, microservice, or other runnable code and...
Contrast Security Organizations API
An organization represents a grouping of user accounts in Contrast.
Contrast Security Rules API
A rule defines a data flow pattern used to categorize vulnerability and attack types. Some common rules are sql-injection, ssrf, and reflected-xss.
Contrast Security Vulnerabilities API
Vulnerabilities detected in runtime by Contrast Assess are weaknesses in the application code that allow an attacker to cause harm.
Open Collections 6
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Contrast Security, 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.
