It also holds adopt: cli available and mcp integration available. Filestack misses those.

And on operate, retry behavior documented and agent compatibility verified. Filestack misses those.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
