Passbolt

Passbolt is an open source password manager for teams. The Passbolt API provides programmatic access to manage resources (passwords), folders, users, groups, sharing, comments, metadata, and authentication via GPGAuth or JWT.

agent aware

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 Passbolt the way a machine reads it — 62 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Passbolt scores 33.0/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 20/100 (agent aware). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

Passbolt Kin Score — API readiness rating by API Evangelist

Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from Passbolt's current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

How we profile Passbolt

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Passbolt. 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 27

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.

Passbolt Authentication (GPGAuth) API

The legacy authentication method, using the GPGAuth protocol. Find more [here](https://www.passbolt.com/docs/development/authentication).

Passbolt Authentication (JWT) API

JWT-based authentication is the preferred way to interact with the Passbolt API. Find more [here](https://www.passbolt.com/docs/development)

Passbolt Avatars API

Query avatar images.

Passbolt Comments API

Manipulate comments for resources.

The favorite endpoints are used to add or remove a `Resource` from your favorites.

Passbolt Folders API

Organize your passwords and share them in bulk using folders.

Passbolt GPG keys API

Gather information on the saved encrypted session keys cache

Passbolt Metadata types settings API

Retrieve information about the resource types settings selected by the administrators

Passbolt Metadata upgrade API

Upgrading elements to the new v5 metadata format

Passbolt Move API

Move a folder or a resource across folders.

Passbolt Multi-Factor Authentication API

Complete and validate authentication for users with MFA enabled.

Passbolt Permissions API

Query permissions for resources.

Passbolt Resource types API

Resource-types are used for describing how and what data is stored for a resource and its associated secrets.

Passbolt Resources API

A resource holds the metadata for its secrets.

Passbolt Roles API

Different categories of users.

Passbolt Secrets API

Secrets associated to resources.

Passbolt Settings API

Retrieve the server settings

Passbolt Shares API

Share resources and folders to users with an exhaustive permission system.

Open Collections 28

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.

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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

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 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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Passbolt, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
