Tool schemas sit behind sign-in, the outreach scope is ticked by default, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found.\n\n**GAIA.** GAIA's source is public, so its approval gate, memory store and token handling can be read. Three approval modes and per-tool overrides exist, but the default mode in the source runs every action unasked, which the privacy policy and release notes do not say. Pro costs $30 a month and self-hosting is limited to noncommercial use.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Asmi\n\n1. Use the endpoint for your own client (/mcp/claude/, /mcp/openai/ or /mcp/meta/). A token from another client gets 403.\n2. Call discover_search before execute_start, then poll execute_status with the task id instead of starting the task again.\n3. Answer Asmi's questions with execute_advance. Calls already placed can't be recalled by execute_cancel.\n4. Expect outreach_not_permitted if the owner unticked contact people. Ask them to reconnect rather than retrying.\n5. Check billing_status before starting a task, since each outreach task uses one of the month's quota.\n\n### GAIA\n\n1. Set Settings \u003e Approvals to Always ask or Auto before connecting mail. The default in the source runs every action, including send and delete, without asking.\n2. Expect no public API on the hosted service. The backend turns off its OpenAPI document in production, so reach GAIA through its apps, bots or CLI.\n3. Check the plan before relying on the hosted service. The README and docs describe a Free plan, and the pricing page says GAIA is a paid product.\n4. For self-hosting, prepare Docker, Node.js 20, a WorkOS account and a model key first, and confirm the use is noncommercial under the licence.\n5. Add outside tools as MCP servers by URL on the Integrations page. GAIA asks before adding a server in every approval mode.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Asmi or GAIA?\n\nGAIA scores 49.5 (D) on agent readiness against Asmi's 33.3 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
