DataStax
DataStax is the company behind Astra DB, a serverless, multi-cloud database and vector-search platform built on Apache Cassandra, along with Langflow, RAGStack, and the Astra Streaming (Apache Pulsar) event platform for building generative-AI and real-time applications. Developers interact with Astra DB through the Data API (JSON document, table, and vector operations), the legacy REST, Document, and GraphQL APIs, and the Astra DevOps API for programmatic administration of databases, keyspaces, access lists, roles, users, tokens, private links, and CDC. DataStax publishes official client SDKs (Python astrapy, TypeScript astra-db-ts, Go astra-db-go), the Java-based Astra CLI, and an official Astra DB Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for agentic access. DataStax was acquired by IBM in 2025 and its Astra products are now part of the IBM watsonx data portfolio, while the developer surface remains hosted on datastax.com, docs.datastax.com, astra.datastax.com, and github.com/datastax.
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.
API Evangelist profiles DataStax the way a machine reads it — 41 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — DataStax scores 46.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 24/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile DataStax
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for DataStax. 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 17
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.
DataStax Access List API
View, create, modify, or delete the IP access list for an Astra database.
DataStax Authentication API
Generate and revoke tokens that are used to authenticate DevOps API operations.
DataStax Clone API
Use the DevOps API to clone databases.
DataStax Customer Keys API
Manage customer keys for your Astra organization.
DataStax Database Operations API
Use these DevOps APIs to manage Astra databases.
DataStax DevOps Access List API

Arazzo Workflows 1
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.
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Provision an Astra database and issue a scoped token
Creates a serverless Astra DB database, waits for it to become active, adds a keyspace, downloads the secure-connect bundle, and issues an application token scoped to the org ro...
ARAZZOMCP Servers 1
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.

DataStax MCP Server
MCP SERVERSecurity 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.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
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 DataStax, 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.
