API access is sold only on the Premium plan at $61 a month, the single OAuth scope grants the whole account, and no changelog, idempotency key or audit log was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**Cozi Family Organizer.** Documented read-only calendar exchange. No official external-agent write API verified.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Acuity Scheduling API\n\n1. Call `/availability/dates` then `/availability/times` with `appointmentTypeID` before `POST /appointments`, which validates the slot as a client would\n2. Avoid `admin=true` unless the owner asks for it, because it skips availability and form validation\n3. Pass `noEmail=true` when a booking or cancellation must not send the client an email or SMS\n4. Check `GET /appointments` filtered by `email` and date before retrying a booking, since no idempotency key is documented\n5. Stay under 10 requests a second and 20 concurrent connections per IP, and back off on 429, which carries no documented `Retry-After`\n\n### Cozi Family Organizer\n\n1. Use official read-only feeds for calendar visibility.\n2. Make edits in the originating calendar and allow for the refresh delay.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Acuity Scheduling API or Cozi Family Organizer?\n\nAcuity Scheduling API scores 42.4 (E) on agent readiness against Cozi Family Organizer's 15.7 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Can an agent call Acuity Scheduling API and Cozi Family Organizer without installing anything?\n\nAcuity Scheduling API has a hosted endpoint at https://acuityscheduling.com/api/v1.
