OpenHands

OpenHands (by All Hands AI, formerly OpenDevin) is an open-source autonomous coding agent platform. Ships as a Python Agent SDK, CLI, local GUI with a REST API, Docker images, and a hosted cloud at app.all-hands.dev plus a self-hosted Kubernetes Enterprise tier. Core code is MIT licensed at github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands with 75K+ stars.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles OpenHands the way a machine reads it — 37 machine-readable artifacts across 14 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 — OpenHands scores 43.1/100 (thin), 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 OpenHands

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for OpenHands. 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 14

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.

OpenHands Agent SDK

Composable Python SDK for defining, running, and orchestrating agents locally or scaled to thousands in the cloud. Source at github.com/All-Hands-AI/agent-sdk.

OpenHands CLI

Command-line interface for running OpenHands agents with Claude, GPT, or any other LLM. Source at github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands-CLI.

OpenHands Local GUI REST API

Local React application with a REST API behind it for driving agents from the desktop. Shipped via Docker and the main OpenHands repo.

OpenHands Cloud

Hosted OpenHands platform at app.all-hands.dev with a free tier (Minimax model), GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket integrations, and Slack/Jira/Linear connectors.

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).

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.

Security Posture 3

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.
