## What an agent can and cannot do here

Kortext runs no developer program. There is no developer portal, no API key signup, no SDK and no
public API documentation. Its production APIs are live but authenticated and undocumented, and
institutional access is negotiated commercially, not self-served. Do not attempt to call Kortext
APIs on a user's behalf without institutional credentials issued by Kortext.

The one openly published machine-readable contract is the OpenAPI 3.1.0 description of the Kortext
Labs AI study-tools service, served from a non-production labs host.

## APIs

- [Kortext Labs AI Study Tools API](https://api-demo.labs.kortext.com/docs): FastAPI service
  ("labsapi") behind Kortext's AI study features — quiz generation from a book, URL or pasted text;
  content indexing and retrieval-augmented chat over a student's bookshelf and uploaded files;
  flashcards, mnemonics, idea compass, reading plans, Mermaid visualisations and "extract wisdom"
  summarisation; podcast generation; and per-content study analytics. 67 operations, HTTP bearer
  (JWT) auth. OpenAPI 3.1.0 at https://api-demo.labs.kortext.com/openapi.json (HTTP 200).
- [Kortext VLE / LTI Integration API](https://vle.kortext.com): 1EdTech LTI 1.1 launch and LTI 1.3
  Deep Linking endpoints plus authenticated REST resources for books, consumers (institutions),
  journeys and KeyLinks reading lists. Endpoint paths published at
  https://vle.kortext.com/assets/config.json. No OpenAPI. Returns 401 without an institutional token.
- [Kortext Platform API](https://app.kortext.com): authenticated application API behind the Kortext
  study reader — identity, content, upload, cover, features, assessments, events, genai and
  study-tools paths. Tokens from https://app.kortext.com/account/token. No public specification.

## Standards

- 1EdTech LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 (Deep Linking) — the domain standard for this market; an institution
  that already speaks LTI integrates Kortext into Blackboard, Moodle or Canvas with no bespoke
  connector. See conformance/kortext-conformance.yml.
- OpenAPI 3.1.0 — one contract, on the labs host only.
- NOT implemented: RFC 9457 problem details, OAuth 2.0 (bearer only), SCIM, OneRoster, OAI-PMH,
  idempotency keys, and no LTI Advantage NRPS/AGS is declared.
