Scout RFP (Workday Strategic Sourcing)
Scout RFP is a strategic sourcing and supplier engagement platform founded in 2014 and acquired by Workday in 2019, where it now ships as Workday Strategic Sourcing. The product covers sourcing events (RFPs/RFIs/RFQs and auctions), supplier management, contracts, projects, spend categories, awards, and supplier payments. Its public developer platform exposes a JSON:API-conformant REST API across eleven versioned services — Suppliers, Events, Reports, Contracts, Projects, Payments, Fields, Awards, Attachments, and Spend Categories — plus a SCIM 2.0 user-provisioning API. Authentication is by company API key plus a per-user personal token, all calls are HTTPS/JSON:API, cursor paginated, and rate limited to five requests per second. The legacy v3 API on api.scoutrfp.com was sunset April 18, 2025 in favor of the versioned services on api.us.workdayspend.com (with EU and CA regional hosts).
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Scout RFP (Workday Strategic Sourcing) the way a machine reads it — 52 machine-readable artifacts across 46 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 — Scout RFP (Workday Strategic Sourcing) scores 40.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 72/100 (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.

APIs 46
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.

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.

MCP SERVERRate 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.

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.
