Why would one need an API? What functionality would this API even expose that isn't possible already? Cortana can already be disabled and you are free to run any software you'd like.

As of insider build 14332, Cortana can no longer be disabled and is not an opt-in feature anymore. Upon first boot it's already "getting to know you".

Cortana is integrated into the OS a lot more deeply than a normal app would be.
