What it is
CodeRifts provides authorization and governance for contract changes made by AI agents and API teams. Its diff engine checks OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1 specifications for endpoint removals, newly required fields, response-type changes, enum restrictions, authentication changes, and parameter edits. It discovers matching.yaml,.yml, and.json files in repositories. Security analysis flags weakened authentication, and schema scans identify new or changed fields such as SSNs, credit-card numbers, and passports with GDPR/CCPA warnings. YAML rules in.coderifts.yml can block merges over limits, deprecation, or authentication requirements. Integrations include GitHub App, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server with three tools. Specifications are processed in memory and discarded; derived verdicts and metadata remain. Plans are Free at free, Team at $149 a month, and Enterprise at $1,500 a month.
