Call `wait_for_call` (it waits up to 45 seconds) instead of polling `get_call_log`\n2. Send destructive MCP tools a second time with the confirmation argument\n3. Space calls to the same number at least 10 seconds apart or expect a 429\n4. Budget $0.015 for every outbound attempt, including ones that never connect\n5. Run `validate_pathway` before saving a pathway graph\n\n### Synthflow API + MCP\n\n1. Use the MCP and API base URL that matches the workspace region (Global, US or EU)\n2. Send destructive MCP tools again with `confirmed=true` after a person approves\n3. Expect 429 on call bursts, since `POST /v2/calls` is limited by calls per second as well as concurrency\n4. Read the transfer failure reason on a failed transfer before retrying it\n\n## Other comparisons with Bland AI API + MCP or Synthflow API + MCP\n\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Bolna API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-bolna.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-elevenlabs-agents.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-hume-evi.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Retell AI API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-retell-ai.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-vapi.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-vogent.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elevenlabs-agents-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface) vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hume-evi-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Retell AI API + MCP vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/retell-ai-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Synthflow API + MCP vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/synthflow-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [Synthflow API + MCP vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/synthflow-vs-vapi.md)\n- [Synthflow API + MCP vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/synthflow-vs-vogent.md)\n",
