Executive summary
Salt Edge Account Information and Payment Initiation API scores 72.5/100: Needs work · Grade C. The weakest pillar is MCP readiness at 58; the strongest is SDK readiness for AI at 82. We recorded 1753 finding instances: 0 critical, 151 high, 529 medium, and 1073 low. Gaps for AI-assisted builds. Broken for autonomous agents. Every finding lives in the specification, and the roadmap in this report orders the fixes by impact; resolving them projects the score to 100/100.

About this report. We evaluated the Salt Edge Account Information and Payment Initiation API specification against thousands of deterministic rules we have refined over twelve years of building API tooling, supplemented by AI-based analysis. Every finding is reproducible from the spec itself, scored consistently, and paired with a concrete fix.
What's at stake
Residual risks to monitor
No active failures, but elevated risks remain. Continued improvement will bring these into the managed band.
