## Executive Summary

Kraken's API program has an excellent foundation — the machine-readable contract and schema quality are strong, giving partners and agents a reliable surface to build against. However, two areas are holding the partner program back: agents and AI coding tools lack the structured context files they need to work confidently with the API, and partners have no runnable, executable starting point to reach a first successful call quickly. Prioritizing agent-readable context, runnable collections, and a fast onboarding path will unlock self-serve partner activation and make Kraken's APIs a first-class target for AI-assisted integrations.
