## How to choose

- Typed fields for each question: Check whether each question type, such as number, date, choice or file upload, is created as a typed field, so an agent can validate answers without parsing text.
- Webhook sends and retries: Check whether each submission is sent by webhook and retried after a failed attempt, since a response that is never received cannot be acted on.
- Response paging and filters: Check how responses are paged and filtered when read back, so an agent can collect every answer from a form without missing or repeating any.
- Scopes for each action: Check whether creating a form, reading responses and registering a webhook need separate scopes, so a token holds only what the task needs.

- How the benchmark tests this category: The same ten-question form built through each listing's API, five test responses submitted, and the responses read back and received by webhook. We check field types, validation, response pagination and webhook delivery. In this run listings are graded from public evidence against the published checklist.
