Trail

Trail is a digital checklist and work management platform for hospitality and leisure teams, now part of The Access Group (originally Trailsuite Ltd, a Seedcamp portfolio company). Trail digitises daily operations — food safety checks, brand standards, compliance logs and task management — across sites, and publishes a set of API-key-secured public APIs (Task Reports, Task Instances, Task Templates, Sites, Areas, Tags, Scores) plus an OAuth2-secured Evo API, documented with OpenAPI at web.trailapp.com/api-docs.

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 Trail the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 8 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 — Trail scores 48.5/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 68/100 (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 Trail

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Trail. 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 8

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.

Trail Areas API

The Areas API from Trail — 1 operation(s) for areas.

Trail Scores API

The Scores API from Trail — 1 operation(s) for scores.

Trail Sites API

The Sites API from Trail — 2 operation(s) for sites.

Trail Tags API

The Tags API from Trail — 1 operation(s) for tags.

Trail Task Instances API

The Task Instances API from Trail — 2 operation(s) for task instances.

Trail Task Reports API

The Task Reports API from Trail — 4 operation(s) for task reports.

Trail Task Templates API

The Task Templates API from Trail — 2 operation(s) for task templates.

Trail Tasks API

The Tasks API from Trail — 1 operation(s) for tasks.

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 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.

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.
