Where Apideck is ahead

Apideck passes clear canonical domain, and Tigris does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

And on adopt, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation and official python sdk. Tigris misses those.

Finally, on operate, structured, predictable output and machine-readable errors. Tigris misses those.

Where Tigris is ahead
