No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable.\n\n**Town.** Town is a hosted assistant that works across the owner's mail, calendar and work apps, and other systems can start its routines through per-routine webhooks with rotatable secrets, idempotency keys and documented errors. A caller can't read a run's result. The privacy policy and trust page disagree on whether training is on by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boski\n\n1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.\n2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.\n\n### Town\n\n1. Start a Town routine with POST to its webhook URL, Authorization Bearer whsec_ secret, and application/json or text/plain. Expect 202 only.\n2. Send X-Town-Idempotency-Key with a stable event id on every retry so Town doesn't start a second run.\n3. Treat 404 as wrong secret, disabled endpoint or missing endpoint alike, and ask the owner to check Routine Settings rather than retrying.\n4. Send account_email only if the owner allowed the override. It must match a connected account in full and can't widen the routine's scope.\n5. Ask the owner to keep routines that act on webhook input in approval-required mode, as Town's own docs advise.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boski or Town?\n\nTown scores 48.7 (D) on agent readiness against Boski's 26.2 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/boski-vs-town.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/boski-vs-town.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"boski\", \"b\": \"town\"}`.
