## Summaries

### 32. monday.com, BB (76.4)

monday.com is a hosted work management platform built on boards, items and columns. Agents reach it through a GraphQL API at api.monday.com/v2 and an official hosted MCP server, using personal API tokens or OAuth. The GraphQL API publishes its full schema, accepts an `Idempotency-Key` header on mutations and reports limits in `RateLimit` headers, and a documented signup API lets an agent create its own account and token. Personal tokens carry every permission their user has, daily calls stop at 1,000 below Pro, and the status page shows two long platform incidents since July 2026.

### 134. Asana, BB (70.1)

The MCP server grants every tool to each authorisation with no scopes, and status.asana.com shows three major incidents affecting the API between 31 August and 30 September 2026.

Todoist is a task and project manager from Doist. Agents reach it through the Todoist API v1, a hosted MCP server at ai.todoist.net/mcp, Python and TypeScript SDKs and the td command line tool. The API has a public OpenAPI 3.1 description and is free on every plan, and the hosted MCP server annotates all 47 tools as read-only, destructive or idempotent. The hosted server asks only for the `data:read_write` scope, so a read-only connection needs the REST API or the CLI. No SLA or llms.txt was found.

## How we test this category

The same project of twenty tasks in each listing. The same tasks run through its API or MCP server (create a task with an owner and due date, update status, add a comment, find overdue work, read a project summary). We check search, permissions and events. In this run listings are graded from public evidence against the published checklist. This test hasn't run yet, so Task success is pending and the grades here come from the categories assessed from public evidence.
