No request rate limit or idempotency key was found in the API documentation, Adobe publishes no MCP server for Commerce, and a licence starts with a sales order.\n\n**Square.** The REST API has a public OpenAPI 3.0 spec, OAuth scopes split by read and write for each resource, idempotency keys on writes and a free sandbox. The MCP server is in beta and its remote instance reaches production only. No numeric REST rate limits or SLA were found, and the status page recorded widespread errors on 27 September 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Adobe Commerce (Magento)\n\n1. Ask which deployment the store is. The cloud service answers at `https://\u003cserver\u003e.api.commerce.adobe.com/\u003ctenant-id\u003e/` with no `/rest` prefix, and other stores at `https://\u003chost\u003e/rest/\u003cstore-view-code\u003e/`\n2. On the cloud service, request an IMS token with the `commerce.accs` scope and send the `Store` header to pick the store view\n3. On a 2.4 store, sign requests with all four integration credentials by OAuth 1.0a. A bare integration token is refused unless the merchant has switched that on\n4. Add `?fields=` to REST calls and set `searchCriteria[pageSize]`. Stores with input limits on cap a page at 300 items\n5. Don't retry `placeOrder` or a POST blindly. Read the cart or order back first, because no idempotency key was found\n\n### Square\n\n1. Test against the sandbox first with the local MCP server and `SANDBOX=true`. The remote server at mcp.squareup.com reaches production only\n2. Set `DISALLOW_WRITES=true` on the local MCP server when the task only reads\n3. Call `get_service_info`, then `get_type_info`, before each `make_api_request`. The request body is otherwise untyped\n4. Send a fresh `idempotency_key` on every write, and reuse it when retrying the same write\n5. Pin `Square-Version` in each request. Use a page cursor within 5 minutes of receiving it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Adobe Commerce (Magento) or Square?\n\nSquare scores 69.2 (B) on agent readiness against Adobe Commerce (Magento)'s 63.9 (B), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
