Memfault

Memfault is a device observability and reliability platform for connected products built on MCUs, embedded Linux, and Android. The Memfault Cloud ingests device data (coredumps, logs, metrics, reboots) and provides issue grouping, alerting, charting, fleet analytics, and over-the-air firmware updates. The Memfault REST API exposes organizations, projects, devices, software, releases, deployments, issues, alerts, metrics, and chunk ingestion endpoints.

agent ready

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 Memfault the way a machine reads it — 27 machine-readable artifacts across 20 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 — Memfault scores 49.5/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (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 Memfault

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Memfault. 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 20

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.

Memfault Cloud REST API

The Memfault Cloud REST API is the primary programmatic interface to the Memfault platform. It covers organization and project administration, device management, software versio...

Memfault Organizations API

Manage Memfault organizations, users, and authentication tokens scoped to an organization.

Memfault Projects API

Create and manage Memfault projects that group devices, software, and releases.

Memfault Devices API

List, search, and update devices including hardware version, software version, cohort membership, and metadata.

Memfault Software and Releases API

Manage software types, software versions, OTA releases, deployments, and cohorts that target devices for updates.

Memfault Issues API

Retrieve and manage grouped issues created from device traces, coredumps, and reboots.

Memfault Alerts API

Configure alert sources and review fired alerts for device fleet conditions and issue thresholds.

Memfault Metrics and Charts API

Query timeseries metrics, custom charts, and aggregated fleet data collected from devices.

Memfault Chunks Ingestion API

Upload chunks of data (events, traces, coredumps, metrics) from devices into Memfault, typically called by on-device SDKs or a customer-operated proxy.

Memfault Auth API

The Auth API from Memfault — 2 operation(s) for auth.

Memfault Chunks API

The Chunks API from Memfault — 1 operation(s) for chunks.

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.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTION

Pricing 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.

FinOps 1

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.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

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.

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.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
