TrueVault

TrueVault provides developer infrastructure for storing and managing sensitive personal data in a compliant way. Its original product, TrueVault Safe, is a HIPAA-oriented REST API and secure datastore that lets applications create Vaults and store encrypted Documents, BLOBs, Users, and Schemas, with group-based access control (the Access Grid), full-text and geospatial Search, transactional Email/SMS messaging, password-reset flows, and scoped access tokens. Authentication is via API keys or user access tokens passed in an HTTP Basic header. TrueVault's newer Polaris product is privacy-compliance software that helps ecommerce brands comply with US state privacy laws, the GDPR, and the CCPA. TrueVault is a Y Combinator-backed company.

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 TrueVault the way a machine reads it — 4 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 — TrueVault scores 36.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 33/100 (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 TrueVault

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

TrueVault Safe REST API

TrueVault Safe is a REST API and secure datastore for sensitive personal data. Resources include Users, Groups (with policy-based Access Grid permissions), Vaults, BLOBs, Docume...

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.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

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.
