Google Android
Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software. It powers billions of devices worldwide including smartphones, tablets, TVs, and wearables.
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 Google Android the way a machine reads it — 49 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — Google Android scores 51.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 74/100 (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 Google Android
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Google Android. 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 12
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.

Open Collections 1
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.

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.
Google Android Enroll a Device and Confirm It Checked In
Confirm the target policy exists, mint an enrollment token, then poll the fleet until the new device appears.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Offboard an Enterprise
Inventory the fleet, relinquish ownership of each managed device, then delete the enterprise.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Onboard an Enterprise
Bind a signup token to a new enterprise, attach a baseline policy, and mint a first enrollment token.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Audit an Enterprise Fleet
Walk enterprises, devices, and policies read-only to produce a fleet inventory an auditor can sign off on.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Configure Enterprise Pub/Sub Notifications
Read the enterprise, patch its Pub/Sub topic and notification types with an updateMask, then read back to confirm.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Roll Out a Policy Change and Verify It Applied
Read the current policy, patch a targeted field with an updateMask, then confirm a device actually applied the new version.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Issue a Remote Command and Poll the Device
Confirm a device is reachable, issue a LOCK/REBOOT/RESET_PASSWORD command, then poll the device until it reports back.
ARAZZOGoogle Android Publish a Web App and Push It to a Policy
Create a hosted web app, confirm it registered, then add it to a policy so it installs on the fleet.

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 SERVERPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Security Posture 4
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.

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.

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.
