Upwind Security

Upwind is a cloud security (CNAPP) platform that pairs cloud security posture with eBPF-based runtime protection across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud, spanning vulnerability management, threat detection, configuration and compliance, API security, identity security, and shift-left CI/CD scanning. Its Management REST API (v1 and v2) exposes threats, vulnerabilities, configurations, inventory, SBOM packages, workflows, and access management using OAuth 2.0 client credentials, and the company ships a hosted MCP server plus an official Agent Skill for AI coding assistants.

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 Upwind Security the way a machine reads it — 18 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — Upwind Security scores 53.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 61/100 (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 Upwind Security

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Upwind Security. 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 12

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.

Upwind Security access-management API

The Access Management resource offers methods for managing groups, members, roles, and scopes.

Upwind Security api-security API

The API Security resource offers methods for retrieving API catalog endpoints and their security information.

Upwind Security cloud-accounts API

The Cloud Accounts resource offers methods for creating, updating, and deleting cloud accounts for monitoring and security analysis.

Upwind Security configurations API

The Configurations resource offers a range of methods for listing, retrieving, and deleting configuration findings and rules.

Upwind Security events API

The Events resource offers a range of methods for listing, retrieving, and deleting events.

Upwind Security integrations API

The Integrations resource offers methods for managing various integrations with external systems, including integration webhooks.

Upwind Security inventory API

The Inventory resource offers a range of methods for listing and retrieving inventory assets.

Upwind Security packages API

The Packages resource offers methods for retrieving Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) package details.

Upwind Security shiftleft API

The ShiftLeft resource offers methods for retrieving ShiftLeft related information

Upwind Security threats API

The Threats resource offers a range of methods for listing, retrieving, and deleting threat detections.

Upwind Security vulnerabilities API

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.

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.
