It also holds operate: agent compatibility verified. Camel Ai misses it.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, self-service signup, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, fast time to first request, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, observable execution. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.

Score, pillar by pillar
