Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor helps you maximize the availability and performance of your applications and services. It delivers a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud and on-premises environments.
Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.
API Evangelist profiles Azure Monitor the way a machine reads it — 179 machine-readable artifacts across 19 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 — Azure Monitor scores 73.3/100 (exemplar), 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 Azure Monitor
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Azure Monitor. 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 19
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.

A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.

Arazzo Workflows 10
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.
Azure Monitor Action Group Lifecycle
Create an action group, read it back, and send a test notification to validate its receivers.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Action Group Receiver Recovery
Read an action group, then re-enable a receiver that had been unsubscribed.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Action Group With Metric Alert
Create an action group, attach it to a new classic metric alert rule, and confirm the rule.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Activity Log To Metrics
Pull recent Activity Log events for a subscription, then drill into a resource's metric definitions and values.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Alert Rule Audit
List classic alert rules in a resource group, branch on whether any exist, then inspect and re-tag the first rule.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Autoscale Inventory And Reconfigure
List autoscale settings in a resource group, branch on whether any exist, then inspect and disable a named setting.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Autoscale Setting Provision
Create an autoscale setting with a CPU-driven scale rule, confirm it, and pull its predictive metrics.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Batch Metrics Query
Resolve a resource's metric definitions, then batch-query the same metric across many resources at once.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Diagnostic Setting Provision
Inventory existing diagnostic settings on a resource, route its logs and metrics to a destination, and confirm.
ARAZZOAzure Monitor Resource Metrics Explorer
Discover the metric definitions available for a resource and then pull the metric values for them.

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.
Microsoft Azure Monitor Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 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.
Semantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

JSON STRUCTURESecurity 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.

Scopes 1
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.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
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.
