## Which one, for what

### Asmi (F)

Good for: An agent that needs phone calls, texts and emails to businesses done for its owner.

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where Skydive loses 5 points for them

Watch for: Tool JSON Schemas and annotations can't be read before OAuth (unauthenticated initialize returns 401).

### Skydive (D)

Good for: A person or team who wants hosted agents with their own cloud computers, memory and connected apps, reachable in Slack, email, text and a CLI, and who can drive them from scripts through the CLI.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 41 against 30
- Schema & documentation, 81 against 20
- Agent ergonomics, 59 against 43
- Security & auth, 59 against 49
- Payments & pricing, 35 against 30
- Maintenance & community, 56 against 3
- Transparency & trust, 75 against 50

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: The API has no operation for sending an agent a task. That runs through the CLI's `chat -p`, outside the OpenAPI contract.

## 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.

**Skydive.** Skydive publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and scoped, agent-bound API keys, though outside agents can send it tasks only through the CLI. Its status page records several major incidents, including a 25-hour Agent Hosting outage, and its home and pricing pages say data is never used for training while the privacy policy turns training on by default.

## 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.

### Skydive

1. Send tasks with `skydive chat -p "..." --agent <id> --json` and pass `--conversation <id>` from the JSON to keep context. The REST API can't send a task.
2. Don't retry `chat -p` or a create blindly after a timeout. There's no idempotency key, so list agents or keys before retrying.
3. Ask the owner for an agent-bound `use` key when you only need to read. Account-level `edit` keys can create agents and mint keys.
4. Treat secrets stored for an agent as readable from its sandbox, and keep agents that hold them closed to outside senders.
5. Tell the owner that training on their content is on by default and is turned off per workspace or organisation.

## 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.
