Verdicts

Asmi

Asmi is a hosted errand service with a 12-tool MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Muse, using OAuth with separate scopes for tracking tasks and for contacting people. Tool schemas sit behind sign-in, the outreach scope is ticked by default, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found.

Natura tinyNature

tinyNature is Natura's hosted personal agent, reached by message today or by voice through $149 HumanPods earbuds, with a published retention table and subprocessor list. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or dated release was found.

Before you call either

Asmi

  1. Use the endpoint for your own client (/mcp/claude/, /mcp/openai/ or /mcp/meta/). A token from another client gets 403.
  2. Call discover_search before execute_start, then poll execute_status with the task id instead of starting the task again.
  3. Answer Asmi's questions with execute_advance. Calls already placed can't be recalled by execute_cancel.
  4. Expect outreach_not_permitted if the owner unticked contact people. Ask them to reconnect rather than retrying.
  5. Check billing_status before starting a task, since each outreach task uses one of the month's quota.

Natura tinyNature

  1. Don't plan to call tinyNature from another agent. @tinyNatureBot on Telegram is a chat for the owner, not an API.
  2. Send security reports to ops@natura.inc. The security.txt the site links returns 404.
  3. Check that tinyNature works on the owner's platform before they order HumanPods, as the HumanPods FAQ advises.

Disclosure

Asmi competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
