## Executive Summary

KongHQ's API program shows strength in its underlying API surface but has critical gaps in the areas partners care about most: discoverability for AI agents and the self-service experience that lets developers get to a first successful call without a sales conversation. The weakest areas — agent context, runnable truth, and documentation discovery — mean that both human partners and their AI coding agents cannot reliably find, understand, or execute against KongHQ's APIs today. Prioritizing a machine-readable docs layer with agent-native signals, combined with an executable workspace, will unlock self-serve partner onboarding and make KongHQ's APIs actionable for the AI-agent-driven integrations partners are building now.
