Demisto
Demisto is a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform that unifies incident case management, playbook-driven automation, real-time analyst collaboration (the "War Room"), and threat-intelligence management. Founded as an independent security startup backed by Accel and Greylock, Demisto was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in 2019 for roughly $560M and rebranded as Cortex XSOAR; the demisto.com domain now redirects to the Cortex XSOAR product. The Demisto REST API exposes incidents, war-room entries, evidence, threat indicators, and automation scripts programmatically, with a Swagger 2.0 specification, an official Python client (demisto-py), and a content-development SDK/CLI (demisto-sdk). This API Evangelist profile was enriched from the provider's public developer surface (xsoar.pan.dev, docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com, and the github.com/demisto organization).
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 Demisto the way a machine reads it — 28 machine-readable artifacts across 24 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 — Demisto scores 40.0/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 65/100 (agent native). 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 Demisto
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Demisto. 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 24
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.

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.

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.
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.
