Where turbopuffer is ahead

turbopuffer passes llms-full.txt / full agent docs, and MongoDB Atlas does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds adopt: fast time to first request and copyable quickstart. MongoDB Atlas misses those.

And on operate, structured, predictable output. MongoDB Atlas misses it.

What neither does

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

Score, pillar by pillar
