Teams, Families and Individual get 1,000 service account reads an hour per token, and the 429 carries no Retry-After.\n\n**Phase.** Service account tokens can be minted with an expiry over the API, every secret read is logged, and the CLI redacts values when it detects an AI agent. No OpenAPI document or pagination was found in the reviewed documentation, and the Free plan keeps audit logs for 24 hours.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### 1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP\n\n1. Read secrets by reference (op://vault/item/field) with client.secrets.resolve or resolveAll, and keep the reference, not the value, in config\n2. On Teams or personal plans budget for 1,000 reads an hour per token and cache resolved values for the run; a 429 means wait for the hourly window, there's no Retry-After\n3. Create the service account with only read_items on one vault and --expires-in set to the job length, since permissions can't be narrowed later\n4. Set integrationName and integrationVersion in createClient so the usage report shows which agent read what\n5. Don't ask the Environments MCP server for a value. Use it to find the variable name, then load it with op run or the SDK\n\n### Phase\n\n1. Enable server-side encryption on the app before calling `/v1/secrets`. Without it the REST API cannot read or write that app's secrets\n2. Send `Authorization: Bearer ServiceAccount \u003ctoken\u003e` for a service account and `Bearer User \u003ctoken\u003e` for a personal access token. The token type is part of the header\n3. Stay under 120 requests a minute per account on Free and 240 on Pro, and wait the seconds in the `retry-after` header on a 429\n4. Treat a 409 on `POST /v1/secrets` as the key already existing at that path, and use `PUT` to change it. Rotating secrets reject `PUT` and `DELETE`\n5. Have a person run `phase ai enable` and choose masked values. The CLI blocks an agent from running `phase ai enable` or `phase ai disable` itself\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, 1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP or Phase?\n\n1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP scores 69.7 (B) on agent readiness against Phase's 68 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Phase leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Can an agent call 1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP and Phase without installing anything?\n\n1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Phase has a hosted endpoint at https://api.phase.dev.\n\n### Are 1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP and Phase open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for 1Password service accounts, SDKs and Environments MCP. Phase is open source (MIT outside the `ee/` directories, which are under the proprietary Phase Console Enterprise licence).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/1password-vs-phase.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/1password-vs-phase.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"1password\", \"b\": \"phase\"}`.
