Trunk

Trunk builds developer experience and CI reliability tooling. Its platform spans Code Quality (a meta-linter and static analysis manager driven by the trunk CLI), a flake-aware parallel Merge Queue, and Flaky Tests detection / CI Analytics. Test results are uploaded from CI via the Trunk Analytics CLI / GitHub Action, and an HTTP REST API at api.trunk.io exposes Flaky Tests and Merge Queue control plus Svix-powered outbound webhooks. Trunk is a portfolio company of a16z.

agent native

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 Trunk the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — Trunk scores 41.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 71/100 (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 Trunk

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Trunk. 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 5

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.

Trunk Test Uploads (Analytics CLI)

CI test-result ingestion surface. The trunk-analytics-cli (and the trunk-io/analytics-uploader GitHub Action) uploads JUnit XML, Bazel BEP, and XCResult test reports to Trunk fo...

Trunk Webhooks

Svix-powered outbound webhooks for subscribing to Flaky Tests events (test_case.status_changed, test_case.monitor_status_changed, test_case.investigation_completed) and Merge Qu...

Trunk Code Quality CLI

Meta-linter and static analysis manager exposed through the trunk CLI and a local daemon (no public REST API). Commands include trunk init, trunk check, and trunk check --all; i...

Trunk Flaky Tests API

Query Flaky Tests state and link tickets.

Trunk Merge Queue API

Control the Trunk Merge Queue.

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.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

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.

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.
