Daylight

Daylight (Daylight Security) is an AI-native Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider delivering what it calls Managed Agentic Security Services (MASS) — combining agentic AI with elite human analysts to run security operations end-to-end, from real-time threat detection through Tier 1 triage, deep Tier 3 investigations, and full incident response, 24x7x365. The platform ingests signals across endpoints, cloud, and networks, learns each customer's business context (identity platforms, HR systems, even Slack), and connects into the customer stack (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Snowflake, Slack, Microsoft Teams). Daylight exposes a partner API at api.daylight.ai (OAuth2 / OIDC, Bearer) plus an OAuth-protected Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so security teams can connect investigations to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Daylight is SOC 2 Type II certified and ISO 27001 compliant. Founded in 2024 by Hagai Shapira and Eldad Rudich; backed by Craft Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Maple VC ($40M raised). Added to the API Evangelist network from VC-portfolio discovery.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Daylight the way a machine reads it — 5 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 — Daylight scores 27.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 25/100 (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 Daylight

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Daylight. 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 1

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.

MCP 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.

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.

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.
