Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications). - **A2A servers** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-14. Checked the complete official Cohere documentation overview of platform models, API access, SDKs, tool use and deployments for a2a_servers; none is documented.

Checked the complete official Cohere documentation overview of platform models, API access, SDKs, tool use and deployments for web_mcp; none is documented. Source: https://docs.cohere.com/docs/welcome.md ## Security & Compliance We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence. - **Compliance certifications:** System and Organization Controls 2 **Access controls:** Not yet researched. ## Capabilities No capabilities listed. ## Jobs To Be Done - **Build retrieval-augmented AI applications** — Connect AI applications to retrieved knowledge to ground generated responses. - **Generate text through an LLM API** — Generate text responses from prompts through a hosted language model API. ## Offers **Pricing page:** https://cohere.com/pricing ### Trial API key - free: Free; payment unknown; commitment unknown Trial API keys are rate limited and not permitted for production or commercial use. ### Aya Expanse - Input tokens: 0.5 USD per 1,000,000 input tokens; payment unknown; commitment unknown - Output tokens: 1.5 USD per 1,000,000 output tokens; payment unknown; commitment unknown Input and output token charges both apply.
