SMS Assist

SMS Assist (rebranded as Lessen) is a facilities maintenance, repair, and work-order management company. Its "One" Platform coordinates reactive and recurrent maintenance, turn/renovation projects, invoices, proposals, assets, and a nationwide vendor network for residential and commercial properties. Lessen exposes the platform through the One Open API v2 — a GraphQL API split into a Client surface (property owners/managers create and track work orders, residents, locations, invoices, and Turn/Reno projects) and a Vendor surface (affiliate technicians manage assets, communications, and work orders) — plus a rich webhook event catalog, SSO/SCIM provisioning, and isolated sandbox and production environments. The legacy REST Open API v1 and Affiliate API v1 were sunset in favor of the v2 GraphQL platform.

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 SMS Assist the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — SMS Assist scores 41.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 43/100 (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 SMS Assist

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for SMS Assist. 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 2

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.

One Open API v2 - Client

GraphQL API for clients (property owners and managers) to create and track reactive and recurrent work orders, residents, locations, service requests, invoices, proposals, Turn/...

One Open API v2 - Vendor

GraphQL/HTTP API for vendors and affiliate technicians to manage assets (service and location assets), attachments, communications and messages, client lists, employees, locatio...

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.

MCP SERVER

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 2

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.
