Halo Connect
Halo Connect is an Australian healthcare interoperability platform, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, that makes primary-care data integration simple by exposing on-premise practice management system (PMS) databases through a modern cloud API. Its Halo Link agent and Halo Cloud service let approved software integrators query systems such as Best Practice, Zedmed, and Dental4Windows using either SQL passthrough or a standards-based FHIR R4 (4.0.1) API built toward the AU Base 4.1.0 implementation guide, without maintaining a separate database agent per integration. Halo Connect built the first FHIR API for the Best Practice Premier medical-practice industry. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure hosted in Australia, and access is gated behind a Halo Cloud subscription using Azure API Management subscription keys and, for desktop applications, bearer JWT tokens issued from a token endpoint; there is no self-serve public API.
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 Halo Connect the way a machine reads it — 10 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 — Halo Connect scores 58.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 75/100 (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 Halo Connect
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Halo Connect. 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.

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 SERVEREvent Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

ASYNCAPISecurity 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.

SECURITYAgentic 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.
