Monthly releases, two-year LTS lines, SMART on FHIR, AccessPolicy rules and AuditEvent logging are documented, and a free development licence needs no sales call. Aidbox has no rate limiting of its own, its MCP module is alpha, and no terms of service were found on the website.\n\n**Particle Health.** Particle queries Carequality, CommonWell, eHealth Exchange and state HIEs for a patient and returns FHIR R4B, flat data or C-CDA, with project-scoped 60-minute tokens and OpenAPI fragments per endpoint. Credentials come through a representative, the free sign-up link was dead on 14 October 2026, and rate limits, SLA and changelog are unpublished.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Aidbox\n\n1. Ask the operator for a Client with an AccessPolicy limited to the task. Don't rely on the public MCP policy, which the docs mark unsafe\n2. Use `If-None-Exist` on creates and conditional update on identifiers so retries don't duplicate records\n3. Use `_elements` and `_count` to keep responses small, and follow the Bundle's paging links\n4. Throttle yourself. Aidbox applies no rate limit, so a burst lands on the customer's database\n5. Don't load real patient data into an instance on a development licence\n\n### Particle Health\n\n1. Pass `projects/\u003cproject_id\u003e` as the scope when requesting a token, and request a new one every 60 minutes\n2. Poll Get Query Status, or wait for the query-complete webhook, before reading FHIR or flat data\n3. Back off on 429, since limits change with system load\n4. Pass continuation tokens back verbatim when paging\n5. Use the published synthetic patients in sandbox, and stay under 500 queries a day\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Aidbox or Particle Health?\n\nAidbox scores 64.2 (B) on agent readiness against Particle Health's 48.6 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Aidbox and Particle Health need an API key?\n\nBoth use an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Aidbox and Particle Health without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Aidbox.
