Windmill. Windmill is a fast, open-source workflow engine and developer platform.
Where Autorev is ahead
Autorev passes openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided and errors and status codes documented, and Windmill does not. That is understand, whether an agent can read the docs and work out how the API behaves before calling it.
It also holds adopt: programmatic credential creation. Windmill misses it.
And on operate, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support and rate-limit behavior predictable. Windmill misses those.
Where Windmill is ahead
Windmill passes llms-full.txt / full agent docs, and Autorev does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.
It also holds adopt: self-service signup, fast time to first request, official python sdk and cli available. Autorev misses those.
What neither does
Both fail mcp discoverable, no mandatory sales call, mcp integration available. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
