Prisma

Prisma is a next-generation ORM that helps developers build applications faster and with fewer errors. It provides a type-safe database client, migrations system, and visual database browser.

agent native

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Prisma the way a machine reads it — 125 machine-readable artifacts across 23 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 — Prisma scores 68.6/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 64/100 (agent native). 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 Prisma

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Prisma. 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 23

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.

Postman Collections 6

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.

Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's APIs.

Open Collections 6

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.

Arazzo Workflows 12

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.

Prisma Accelerate Cached Query then Invalidate

Run a cached query through the Accelerate proxy, then invalidate the cache entries tagged by that query.

ARAZZO

Prisma Client List and Count Records

Count records matching a filter, then fetch the first page of matching records ordered and paginated.

ARAZZO

Prisma Client Upsert a Record

Look up a record by its unique key, then upsert it so it is created when missing or updated when present.

ARAZZO

Prisma Optimize Record and Analyze a Session

Open a query recording session, pull the slowest captured queries and recommendations, then stop the session.

ARAZZO

Prisma Data Platform Bootstrap a Project Environment

Create a project, add an environment, and mint an API key for it in the Data Platform.

ARAZZO

Prisma Data Platform Rotate an Environment API Key

Mint a fresh API key for an environment and revoke the previous one in a single zero-gap rotation.

ARAZZO

Prisma Postgres Add a Database to a Project

Confirm a project exists, provision an additional Postgres database in it, and mint a connection string.

Take a manual database backup, poll until it completes, then restore the database from it.

ARAZZO

Prisma Postgres Find and Delete a Project

Locate a project by name within a workspace and permanently delete it when found.

ARAZZO

Prisma Postgres Provision a Project

Create a project with a managed Postgres database, take a first backup, and mint a connection string.

Create a resumable named event stream, read its cursor position, and fetch the last persisted event by ULID.

ARAZZO

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.

Agent Skills 7

An agent skill packages the how-to for driving these APIs from an assistant — the prompts, the sequence, the guardrails — so the knowledge to use the API travels with it.

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.

5 plans

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.

RATE LIMITS

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.

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.

JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.

JSON Schema 60

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

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.
