Standard Metrics

Standard Metrics is an AI-driven portfolio management platform for venture capital and private equity firms. It centralizes portfolio company performance data, financial metrics, documents, cap-table and investment data, and notes so investors can streamline portfolio reviews, audits, and LP reporting while reducing the reporting burden on portfolio companies. Standard Metrics exposes a REST API (OAuth2 client-credentials, Bearer tokens) covering companies, metrics, budgets, documents, funds, information requests, notes, users, and a beta Investment Data API for cap-table financing events, securities, share classes, and transactions. It also publishes two official remote MCP servers that connect Claude, ChatGPT, and other LLM clients directly to firm data.

agent native

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 Standard Metrics the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 14 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 — Standard Metrics scores 51.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 76/100 (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 Standard Metrics

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Standard Metrics. 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 14

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.

Standard Metrics budgets API

The budgets API from Standard Metrics — 1 operation(s) for budgets.

Standard Metrics cap_table API

The cap_table API from Standard Metrics — 10 operation(s) for cap_table.

Standard Metrics companies API

The companies API from Standard Metrics — 3 operation(s) for companies.

Standard Metrics custom-columns API

The custom-columns API from Standard Metrics — 3 operation(s) for custom-columns.

Standard Metrics documents API

The documents API from Standard Metrics — 2 operation(s) for documents.

Standard Metrics information-reports API

The information-reports API from Standard Metrics — 1 operation(s) for information-reports.

Standard Metrics information-requests API

The information-requests API from Standard Metrics — 1 operation(s) for information-requests.

Standard Metrics metrics API

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
