Jentic launches tool that scores APIs for AI readiness
Jentic, the AI infrastructure company bridging AI agents into the enterprise API landscape, has recently launched its API Scoring tool – a free CLI and web UI that evaluate whether a company’s APIs are ready for use by AI agents.
Both tools score APIs across six readiness dimensions and are available immediately at no cost.
“In the AI era, the API is king, and APIs must be built for agents, not just for developers. This tool gives every engineering team a free compass to help them navigate through that transition,” Sean Blanchfield, CEO of Jentic, said.
The CLI is designed to integrate directly into developer workflows. Teams can run an initial scan to see where their APIs stand, then configure the tool to generate a fresh score automatically each time code is updated, giving engineering leaders a clear, trackable record of their API landscape’s AI-readiness over time.
The scoring framework was developed with input from senior figures in the API standards community, including a member of the OpenAPI Initiative’s Business Governance Board and an OpenAPI Initiative Ambassador, both of whom have joined Jentic.
Why AI readiness requires a new standard
Most APIs were designed with human developers in mind. A developer can interpret ambiguous documentation, ask a colleague, or make an informed guess when an API description is incomplete.
AI agents have much less context to work with . They require precise, machine-readable descriptions, predictable behaviour, and they should be given clear security guardrails. The vast majority of deployed APIs were not designed with those requirements in mind.
Until now, there has been no standardised way for engineering teams to measure that gap or track progress in closing it. The Jentic API Scoring tool is built to fill that role.
The six scoring dimensions assess whether an API’s descriptions are technically correct, clear enough for an agent to interpret, whether its behaviour is consistent and predictable, whether appropriate security controls are in place, and whether an AI system can discover and execute against it without human intervention.
Open source and free to use
The scoring framework underpinning the tool is published under the Apache 2.0 licence. The methodology is fully open to inspection, contribution, and extension by any developer, researcher, or organisation.
Teams needing custom configurations, on-premise deployment, or organisation-wide controls can contact Jentic directly.
The API Scoring CLI is free to install and runs in under a minute.
