Gray Swan

Gray Swan AI is an AI security company that helps enterprises deploy AI with confidence. Its Cygnal product is a real-time, drop-in secure proxy that fronts LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini request formats) with input/output filtering and threat monitoring for jailbreaks and prompt injection, governed by versioned enforcement Policies managed over a REST API. Gray Swan also operates Shade (an adversarial red-teaming platform), Arena (a global adversarial red-teaming network), and adversarial model evaluations that frontier AI labs run before shipping. The company is SOC 2 Type 2 and Cyber Essentials certified.

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Gray Swan the way a machine reads it — 8 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Gray Swan scores 45.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 53/100 (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 Gray Swan

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Gray Swan. 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 3

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.

Gray Swan Activity API

The Activity API from Gray Swan — 1 operation(s) for activity.

Gray Swan Cygnal API

The Cygnal API from Gray Swan — 7 operation(s) for cygnal.

Gray Swan Policies API

The Policies API from Gray Swan — 8 operation(s) for policies.

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.

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.
