Plixer

Plixer is a network observability and defense company whose platform combines network flow (NetFlow/IPFIX) data with AI-driven analysis to help IT and security teams investigate incidents, detect threats, and optimize performance across on-premises, cloud, and zero-trust environments. Its products include Plixer One (unified observability), Plixer Scrutinizer (flow-first visibility with a native MCP server), FlowPro (threat detection), Replicator (NetFlow distribution), Machine Learning behavioral analytics, Endpoint Analytics, and an AI Assistant for natural-language queries grounded in flow data. Plixer Scrutinizer exposes a REST API and, as of Plixer 19.8, a native Model Context Protocol server. Backed by Battery Ventures.

human only

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 Plixer the way a machine reads it — 4 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 — Plixer scores 31.0/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 12/100 (human only). 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 Plixer

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Plixer. 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 1

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.

Plixer Scrutinizer REST API

REST API for Plixer Scrutinizer flow analytics — run flow reports, manage alarms, tune detections, trigger packet captures, and work with Collections. Scrutinizer is deployed as...

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.

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.

PLANS

Security Posture 1

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.
