DAM vendors shipping a public GraphQL API.
Only one of ten DAM vendors in the Capability Index ships a public GraphQL endpoint alongside its REST API. GraphQL isn't strictly necessary, but its presence correlates strongly with a vendor's investment in modern API ergonomics — and it makes generating LLM tool definitions noticeably easier.

Why this matters for LLM integration
GraphQL schemas are self-describing in a way that REST APIs aren't. For teams generating LLM tool definitions, that introspection means fewer hand-written wrappers and tighter type fidelity into Claude or ChatGPT. Vendors without GraphQL aren't disqualified — REST works — but they're a half-step slower for AI-tool generation work.
