medium**\n\n\n## Assessment\n\nGraded on the Inform REST and Streaming APIs. An agent can create a free developer account through a sign-up API, with only an emailed code needing a person's inbox, and llms.txt plus agent guides document every step. The organisation token travels in the URL query string, the free tier holds synthetic data only, and production access needs an Enterprise contract.\n\n## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Validic, Inc. (ChartSpan) (https://validic.com) |\n| Kind | HTTP API |\n| Category | Health records \u0026 wellness data (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/health-data) |\n| Transport | HTTP, SSE (legacy) |\n| Auth | API key · Every Inform request carries the organisation token as `?token=` in the query string, the only option documented. A developer account is created by a sign-up API at https://api.dashboard.validic.com (register, verify a six-digit emailed code, log in, provision), which returns `organization_id` and `organization_token`. End users connect their devices through a Validic marketplace URL returned for each user. No scopes or rotation were found. |\n| Pricing | Freemium (Freemium) · The Developer tier is free with no card or contract and allows 5 connected users, 5 cloud integrations, the Streaming API, a REST API preview and 90-day retention, on synthetic test data, with no SLA. A Business tier is listed as coming soon. Enterprise is negotiated and adds a BAA, custom SLA, all sources and 7-year retention (checked 2026-10-14). |\n| x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 in the developer docs, agent guides or the sign-up page (checked 2026-10-14). |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Validic's Online Service Agreement for Inform (last updated 13 August 2025).

Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 73 | 14.6 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 75 | 12.2 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 50 | 8.1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 30 | 5.2 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 40 | 5.0 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 74 | 6.5 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 53, provenance 88) | 7% | 8.8 | 71 | 6.2 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **57.9 → C** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 73: Read with the hosted lines and scored on the Inform REST and Streaming APIs. status.validic.com is a Statuspage site with 43 components and incident history (20). No incident between 16 July and 14 October 2026; the latest, a legacy SDK notice, opened 17 October 2025 (30). The REST default limit is 2,000 requests per token per hour (15). No 429 or Retry-After guidance and no idempotency keys were found; the sign-up guide gives a polling interval for provisioning (3 of 15). The free tier states no SLA and Enterprise has a custom one, with none published (0). The Streaming API is generally available but the free tier's REST API is labelled a preview (5 of 10). The service agreement forbids monitoring availability for benchmarking, which we record as a fact.\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 75: Each reference page carries an OpenAPI 3.1 fragment, with no full specification file found. The fragments declare an `api_key` query parameter while the docs and paths use `token` (18 of 25). llms.txt indexes the docs, every page is served as Markdown, and plain-text agent guides cover sign-up and a quickstart (10). The guides say when to use REST and when Streaming, and flag pitfalls such as the internal `id` (15 of 20). Data types and metric names are listed in prose, with no enums in the fragments read (7 of 15). Examples throughout and error codes listed for sign-up, but Inform errors carry no detail (10 of 15). Versioned hosts (`api.v2`) and dated release notes on help.validic.com (15).\n- Agent ergonomics 50: Responses are sized by date range (30 days at most), `source` filters and a `latest` endpoint, with no field selection (14 of 25). Organisation-wide and per-user reads, list metadata and stream filters by resource and event type (14 of 20). Inform errors are `{status, error}` with no detail, and an over-long date range returns a bare 400 (8 of 20). No idempotency keys. `uid` is chosen by the caller, sign-up returns `USER_EXISTS`, and streams can be replayed (8 of 20). Few required parameters. No server SDK, only mobile SDKs and an MIT sample repository (6 of 15).\n- Security \u0026 auth 30: One organisation token per organisation, sent as `?token=` in the URL as the only documented option, with no scopes or rotation found (10 less 10, 0 of 30). End users grant each source through the marketplace, but no read-only token exists and `DELETE` on a user is permanent with no confirmation (6 of 20). Responses are mostly numeric device readings, with user notes as the free-text field (9 of 15). The developer dashboard and a connection events endpoint give some visibility, with no audit log found (5 of 15). ISO 27001 and HITRUST claimed, annual third-party penetration testing, no security.txt or bug bounty (10 of 20).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 40: Read with the hosted rubric. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The plan page names a free tier and negotiated Enterprise pricing, with Business coming soon and no unit prices (5 of 20). The Developer tier needs no card or contract (20). Sign-up, verification and provisioning are API calls an agent can make, but the six-digit code arrives by email and the terms ask for a person's acceptance (15 of 20).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 74: Inform Platform release notes dated 12 October 2026 (30). Inform Platform, Mobile SDK and HealthBridge release notes dated 12 October, 8 October and 25 September 2026 among others (20). Closed service with dated public release notes and a support portal; we did not test support response (10 of 15). Mobile SDK v2 release notes dated 8 October 2026, no server SDK and no entry in the official MCP registry (8 of 15). The inform-quickstart repository has a test workflow badge and its last commit on 10 July 2026 (6 of 10).\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 71: Closed service with a public Online Service Agreement (13 August 2025) and MIT sample apps (17 of 30). The privacy policy (20 January 2026) says data is erased after a retrieval period of typically 30 days from contract end, the API reference says deleted users' data is kept 7 years under HIPAA, and Inform stores member data de-identified to Safe Harbor. The data security policy dates from 20 January 2022 (20 of 30). Release notes date the end of support for Suunto, Under Armour and Misfit, and the agreement promises notice of an App discontinuance as soon as practicable, with no API notice period (8 of 20). US AWS data centres are stated, with no sub-processor list (8 of 20).\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (13 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/validic.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/validic.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: the content of individual release notes, so breaking changes in 2026 could not be ruled out\n- unchecked: whether 429 responses carry Retry-After, and the Streaming API's limits\n- unchecked: whether the organisation token can be rotated or revoked from the developer dashboard, which sits behind a login\n- The 'MCP \u0026 Sparks AI tooling' named on the Enterprise plan has no public documentation, so it was not graded\n\n### Sources\n\n- agent guide: \u003chttps://dashboard.validic.com/agents.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- sign-up and integration guide for agents: \u003chttps://dashboard.validic.com/validic-developer-signup.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- quickstart guide for agents: \u003chttps://dashboard.validic.com/inform-quickstart.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- documentation index for agents: \u003chttps://developer.validic.com/llms.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- Inform REST API guide (rate limits): \u003chttps://developer.validic.com/docs/inform-rest-api.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- provision a user reference: \u003chttps://developer.validic.com/reference/provision-a-user.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- measurements reference: \u003chttps://developer.validic.com/reference/measurements.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- working with a stream: \u003chttps://developer.validic.com/docs/working-with-a-stream.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- changelog moved notice: \u003chttps://developer.validic.com/changelog/the-inform-changelog-has-moved.md\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- release notes: \u003chttps://help.validic.com/space/VRN\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- status components: \u003chttps://status.validic.com/api/v2/summary.json\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- status incidents: \u003chttps://status.validic.com/api/v2/incidents.json\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- free tier sign-up and plans: \u003chttps://validic.com/inform-signup/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- free developer tier announcement: \u003chttps://validic.com/news/Validic-launches-free-developer-tier-with-API-driven-agentic-self-signup/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- Online Service Agreement for Inform: \u003chttps://validic.com/online-service-agreement-inform/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- privacy policy: \u003chttps://validic.com/privacy-policy/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- data security policy: \u003chttps://validic.com/data-security-policy/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- ChartSpan acquisition announcement: \u003chttps://www.chartspan.com/blog/chartspan-acquires-validic-to-create-the-industrys-leading-platform-for-data-driven-cost-effective-clinical-care/\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- quickstart repository: \u003chttps://github.com/Validic/inform-quickstart\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- domain registration: \u003chttps://rdap.org/domain/validic.com\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 88/100, checked 2026-10-14)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | Validic, Inc. | 20/20 |\n| Domain age | validic.com, registered 2005-09-11 (21 years) | 15/15 |\n| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | validic.com | 15/15 |\n| Terms of service | read, states 7 of the 7 things a reader expects, and has 1 clause that costs points | 8/10 |\n| Privacy policy | read, states 8 of the 8 things a reader expects | 10/10 |\n| Status page | status.validic.com | 10/10 |\n| Changelog | published | 10/10 |\n| security.txt | not found | 0/10 |\n\nThe Online Service Agreement (last updated 13 August 2025) names Validic, Inc.

Not legal advice.\n\n**Terms of service** (https://validic.com/online-service-agreement-inform/), read 2026-10-14, dated 2025-08-13, states 7 of the 7 things a reader expects.\n\n- To know. Restricts benchmarking or competitive use (costs points). \"access the Service in order to build a competitive product or service, copy any features, functions or graphics of the Service or monitor the availability and/or functionality of the Service for any benchmarking or competitive purposes.\"\n- Gives the date it was last updated. Last updated 2025-08-13.\n- Names the governing law or courts. The law of the State of North Carolina.\n- States a limit on its liability. Capped at the fees paid in the 12 months before the claim.\n- Refers to a service level or uptime commitment. Names 99.5% availability.\n- Also in the text (2026-10-14). The client grants Validic a limited power of attorney to accept third-party app terms on its behalf. \"To streamline the implementation of the Service, the Client grants Validic a limited power of attorney, conferring the specific and exclusive authority to Validic to accept the Third-Party Terms on the Client’s behalf.\"\n- Also in the text (2026-10-14). If Validic ends the agreement for the client's breach, the client pays liquidated damages equal to 100 per cent of the fees under each Order Form in effect. \"Client shall pay to Validic, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 100% of the fees required by each of the Order Forms that is in effect as of the date of such termination.\"\n- Also in the text (2026-10-14). Renewal licences are priced at Validic's list price in effect at renewal unless the Order Form says otherwise. \"Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal licenses will be priced at Validic's applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal.\"\n\n**Privacy policy** (https://validic.com/privacy-policy/), read 2026-10-14, dated 2026-01-20, states 8 of the 8 things a reader expects.\n\n- Gives the date it was last updated.

After a client contract ends, Validic keeps the client's data for a retrieval period, typically at least 30 calendar days, so it can be exported. \"We will maintain their data for a retrieval period as specified in our service agreement (typically at least 30 calendar days) to allow the healthcare provider to export relevant data for their patients or connected users in appropriate formats.\"\n\n## Live (updated 2026-10-14 09:39 UTC)\n\n- Vendor status page: none, All Systems Operational\n- Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/validic.json\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- Sign-up, email verification and organisation provisioning are all API calls, with an agent guide at dashboard.validic.com/agents.txt\n- Free developer tier with no card or contract, covering 5 users and 5 cloud integrations\n- Published rate limit of 2,000 REST requests per token per hour\n- Dated release notes, the newest for the Inform platform on 12 October 2026\n- No status page incidents between 16 July and 14 October 2026\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- The organisation token is sent as `?token=` in the URL, the only documented option\n- Errors return only a status and a phrase, and a date range over the limit gives a bare 400\n- The free tier holds synthetic data only, and the REST API there is a preview\n- No server-side SDK and no full OpenAPI file, only fragments on each reference page\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Show the developer the free-tier terms and wait for acceptance before calling `POST /auth/register`\n2. Send `Authorization: \u003cid_token\u003e` to sign-up calls, but pass the organisation token as `?token=` on Inform calls\n3. Use the customer `uid` in URLs, never Validic's internal `id`, which returns a silent 404\n4. Keep date ranges to 30 days or less and page month by month for backfills\n5.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on validic.com or one of its subdomains, or the README of github.com/Validic/inform-quickstart. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"validic\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
