Tollbit

TollBit is the web stack for the agentic internet, giving publishers and commerce sites the infrastructure to analyze, control, and monetize AI agent access to their content. Publishers verify a property, stream logs for AI-bot analytics, and stand up an "Agent Site" front door (the tollbit. subdomain) that separates bot traffic from humans and applies content controls, licensing, and usage-based paywalls. Its developer API lets AI agents and builders discover licensable content through Licensed Search, fetch rates and license options, mint cryptographically signed one-time access tokens, retrieve licensed or indexed content as markdown or HTML, self-report usage, and receive webhook notifications when content changes. TollBit ships official Python and Node SDKs, a native CLI with a bundled Agent Skill, an MCP toolbox server, and additional agent access methods (NLWeb, Agent2Agent). Added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of Lightspeed Venture Partners and enriched from its public developer surface.

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 Tollbit the way a machine reads it — 15 machine-readable artifacts across 11 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 — Tollbit scores 48.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 58/100 (agent ready). 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 Tollbit

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Tollbit. 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 11

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.

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.

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.

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.
