Tigris

Tigris (Tigris Data, founded 2022) is a globally distributed, S3-compatible object storage cloud purpose-built for AI and agent workloads. It offers bottomless object storage with zero egress fees behind a single global endpoint (https://t3.storage.dev), speaking the AWS S3 API natively so existing tools like boto3, aws-cli, rclone, and PyTorch work by swapping the endpoint. Beyond core buckets and objects (up to 5 TB each), Tigris adds agent-native features: copy-on-write bucket forks, point-in-time snapshots, in-place object rename, conditional operations, shadow-bucket migration from AWS S3, IAM access control, an official CLI, first-party SDKs, an MCP server, and published agent skills. Backed by a16z and General Catalyst.

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 Tigris the way a machine reads it — 5 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 — Tigris scores 41.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 42/100 (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 Tigris

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

Tigris Object Storage (S3 API)

Tigris exposes a globally distributed, S3-compatible object storage API. It fulfills over 90% of the AWS S3 API (61/68 operations in Tigris' published compatibility suite) and w...

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.
