Rill Data

Rill Data builds Rill, an operational business-intelligence tool for fast, exploratory dashboards on large event and time-series data. Developers connect data sources, model last-mile transformations in SQL/YAML, define a governed metrics layer, and publish interactive dashboards — locally with the free Rill Developer app or hosted on Rill Cloud. Rill is open source (Go/TypeScript) and exposes a Protobuf-defined admin API over gRPC/Connect and JSON/HTTP at api.rilldata.com, a first-party CLI, embeddable dashboards, custom data APIs, and an official hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets LLMs query its governed metrics views. Rill Data is a portfolio company of Bloomberg Beta, DCVC, and Sierra Ventures.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Rill Data the way a machine reads it — 6 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 — Rill Data scores 46.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 38/100 (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.

How we profile Rill Data

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Rill Data. 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.

Rill Data Orgs API

The Orgs API from Rill Data — 17 operation(s) for orgs.

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.

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.

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.
