## Description

turbopuffer is a vector and full-text search database built on object storage, providing semantic and keyword search for AI applications.

## AI-native score

**Tier C — 41/100 · research coverage 42/100.** This grade measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how the grade and coverage are computed. Unresearched decision fields score zero in the grade.

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. 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 2026-10-13. Checked the developer documentation index for Agent2Agent protocol support and Agent Card or A2A connection endpoints; none is documented. Source: https://turbopuffer.com/docs
- **Web-MCP** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the developer documentation index for browser WebMCP support through the modelContext API or a WebMCP polyfill; none is documented. Source: https://turbopuffer.com/docs

## 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.
