Privacy policy now effective 5 October 2026, re-read on 3 November, with the same retention periods (7 days from databases after deletion, 730 days from backups, 930 days from logs), call audio not kept once transcribed, and a promise not to train AI models on personal data. The 24-processor table rests on the 1 October count (28 of 30). Written deprecation policy with a year's support and 6 months' notice, now covering MCP tools too, with dated removals on 13 February 2027 (reminder endpoints and events), 29 March 2027 (past and upcoming interaction lists) and 16 April 2027 (single-record MCP tools) (20). Processors listed with regions, and hosting on AWS in Ireland (20).\n\n### Reliability: folk API + MCP +10\n\n- Breakcold (45): Graded as a hosted service on the REST API and hosted MCP server. No status page is linked from the site or docs, and status.breakcold.com failed the TLS handshake (0). With no readable history the incident line scores 5. Rate limits published per organisation (600 a minute), workspace (300), identity or key (180) and route (120), for REST and MCP (15). 429 carries Retry-After and `retryAfterMs`, the docs give backoff guidance, and creates take an Idempotency-Key so retries return the original result (15). No SLA found in the services agreement summary, the pricing page or the docs (0). Neither surface is marked beta (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 45.\n- folk API + MCP (55): Status page at status.folk.app runs on UptimeRobot. Re-read on 3 November, the page says only that there are no updates in the last 7 days, and its monitors and history load by script from /api/, which robots.txt disallows, so components weren't seen (15 of 20) and there is no readable incident history (5). Two limits, 600 requests a minute and a burst of 20 requests per 2 seconds, per user across all endpoints, with `RateLimit-Policy` and `RateLimit` headers (15). 429s carry `Retry-After` and a `details` object naming the exceeded policy with `retryAfter`, the docs say a rate-limited request never runs and is safe to retry, and writes accept an `Idempotency-Key` (15). No SLA found (0). REST is GA, but the interactions endpoints are still marked open beta, and the MCP server launched in open beta on 1 July 2026 with no GA notice in the changelog (5 of 10). 15 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 5 = 55.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Breakcold | folk API + MCP | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 55 | folk API + MCP +10 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 91 | folk API + MCP +1 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 70 | folk API + MCP +3 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 60 | 45 | Breakcold +15 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 15 | 30 | folk API + MCP +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 67 | 82 | folk API + MCP +15 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **58 · C** | **58.2 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Breakcold | folk API + MCP |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Logike SAS | folk |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.breakcold.com/mcp/v1` | `https://api.folk.app/v1` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Paid |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Tools exposed | 72 | 60 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | yes |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-10-25 |\n| Terms last updated | couldn't be read | no date given |\n| Privacy policy last updated | couldn't be read | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | couldn't be read | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict automated access | couldn't be read | not found in the text |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | couldn't be read | not found in the text |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | couldn't be read | not found in the text |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | couldn't be read | not found in the text |\n| Agent reviews | none | 3.5/5 (2) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Breakcold\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### folk API + MCP\n\n- -2.7 on 3 November 2026: new evidence, negative event\n- +0.1 on 27 October 2026: checklist\n- -0.2 on 8 October 2026: checklist\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Breakcold.** Breakcold's API and hosted MCP server are built for agents, with an OpenAPI contract, scoped and expiring keys, published rate limits, idempotency keys and message sends that stay drafts until confirmed. No status page, SLA or security certification was found, and the only trial needs a card on a plan from $99 a month.\n\n**folk API + MCP.** Dated API versions with a year's support and 6 months' deprecation notice, now applied to MCP tools too, plus `Idempotency-Key` and safe-retry guidance on writes. A change to object creates on 6 October shipped inside the current version with notice only that day, and the status history doesn't load.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Breakcold\n\n1. Call `capabilities_list` or `tools_search` first to see which tools the granted scopes allow\n2. Send an Idempotency-Key on REST creates and a stable idempotency key on `records_create`, so retries return the original result\n3. Leave `sendMode` unset on compose and send tools until the user has confirmed the message\n4. Pass `fields` on record lists to cut the response to the fields you need\n5. On 429 wait for Retry-After or `retryAfterMs`; over MCP the error code is -32029\n\n### folk API + MCP\n\n1. Send `X-API-Version: 2025-06-09` on every REST call\n2. Set an `Idempotency-Key` on creates, and treat a 409 `IDEMPOTENCY_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS` as wait and retry\n3. On a 429, wait for `Retry-After`, and keep under 10 requests a second, since all your keys share 600 a minute and 20 per 2 seconds\n4. Move off reminder endpoints and events to tasks before 2027-02-13, and off single-record MCP tools to the bulk tools before 2027-04-16\n5. Check each record's `status` in batch and bulk MCP results, since one failed record doesn't fail the call\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Breakcold or folk API + MCP?\n\nfolk API + MCP and Breakcold score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 58.2 (C) and 58 (C).
