Tool descriptions say how to use them, such as `records_create` asking for every required field and a stable idempotency key and the send tools saying to send only after the user confirms (17 of 20). 84 enums and 488 required lists, with typed attribute pages for each field type (13 of 15). Every operation documents 400 to 429 responses and the error body is shown, but the spec carries only two examples (10 of 15). /api/v1, and an API changelog with dated entries and migration steps (15). 25 + 10 + 17 + 13 + 10 + 15 = 90.\n- Payani AI (13): The server answers 401 without a token, so `tools/list` and its JSON Schemas were not read. The OAuth and protected-resource metadata are machine-readable, but they describe sign-in, not tools (2 of 25). payani.ai/llms.txt exists but indexes marketing pages, with nothing on the MCP server (3 of 10). The MCP page states what the server is for and what it can't do (no edits, deletes or sends), in eight capability areas rather than per tool (5 of 20). Typed inputs not read (0). The 401 returns a JSON `error` and `error_description` and a `WWW-Authenticate` header naming the resource metadata. No examples of calls (3 of 15). No versioning or changelog found (0).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Breakcold +41\n\n- Breakcold (67): 72 MCP tools (5), with `tools_search` and `capabilities_list` to find tools by capability or granted scope, and scopes that limit which tools apply (8 back). Cursor pagination, record search and a `fields` selection on record lists since 3 November (18 of 20). Errors carry a code, message, `requestId` and `retryAfterMs`, and the 4 November changelog removed stack frames from messages (17 of 20). Idempotency keys on creates, and compose and send tools return a non-sending draft by default; MCP annotations are not published (14 of 20). No official SDK; setup is one URL with OAuth (5 of 15). 13 + 18 + 17 + 14 + 5 = 67.\n- Payani AI (26): Tool count and definition sizes are unknown. The MCP page lists eight read areas, which suggests a small toolset, unconfirmed (10 of 25). No pagination, filters or size controls could be confirmed (0). The 401 message says what to do (connect a Payani account), and nothing else is documented (3 of 20). Every call reads and nothing writes, so retries are safe by design. Annotations unread (10 of 20). Connecting is one URL and an OAuth consent, with no SDK (3 of 15).\n\n### Reliability: Breakcold +30\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- Payani AI (15): Graded as a hosted MCP server. No status page found, and status.payani.ai did not answer (0). No incident history to read (5). No rate limits found on the MCP page, the help centre or the terms (0). No 429, Retry-After or backoff guidance found (0). The terms of 8 October 2026 say there is no uptime guarantee on any plan (0). Nothing calls the MCP server or Ask Payani beta (10).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Breakcold +25\n\n- Breakcold (60): API changelog entry on 6 November 2026 (30). More than 60 dated entries since 8 August 2026 (20). Closed service with a public API changelog, an RSS feed, a help centre and support by email; no public issue tracker (10 of 15). The CRM MCP server is not in the official MCP registry (the registry's io.github.breakcold/inboxmcp is a separate product at inbox-mcp.com), and no official SDK exists (0). No package to check (0). 30 + 20 + 10 + 0 + 0 = 60.\n- Payani AI (35): Read as a closed service. The launch release of 20 October 2026 and the terms and privacy policy of 8 October 2026 are within 30 days (30). No changelog, release notes or dated product updates found, so no count of changes in 90 days (0). Support by email and a form, said to reply usually within one business day, untested, and no public changelog (5 of 25). Not in the official MCP registry (a search for payani returned no servers) and no SDKs (0). No packages to judge (0).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Payani AI +15\n\n- Breakcold (15): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public, and each call's cost in usage tokens is published, but the money value of a token is not (10). The 14-day trial needs a card (0). auth.md documents an agent identity endpoint that takes an identity assertion or an anonymous request followed by a claim by a person, which we read and did not call; access still needs a paid or card-backed trial account (5 of 20). 0 + 10 + 0 + 5 = 15.\n- Payani AI (30): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public, $49, $99 and $249 a month, with credit packs priced and nothing per MCP call (10). 14-day trial with no card, and the MCP page links to a free account for connecting (20). A person signs up in a browser and approves the OAuth consent. Dynamic client registration lets a client register itself, but not get access without the person (0).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Breakcold +13\n\n- Breakcold (60): API keys take chosen read and write scopes, an optional workspace limit and an expiry, are shown once, show activity history and can be revoked. MCP also accepts OAuth with PKCE through WorkOS AuthKit. Tokens travel in headers (30). Read-only keys are possible and message sends stay drafts until `sendMode` is set after the user confirms (17 of 20). The inbox returns email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Telegram text from outside parties, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (0). API key activity history is visible to the user; no organisation audit log was found (7 of 15). A vulnerability disclosure policy (3 September 2026) with reports to support@breakcold.com, no bounty, no security.txt (404) and no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 found (6 of 20). 30 + 17 + 0 + 7 + 6 = 60.\n- Payani AI (47): OAuth authorisation code with PKCE (S256), dynamic client registration, refresh tokens, a revocation endpoint and a single `read` scope, with access limited to the workspace the person picks (26 of 30). The whole server is read-only per the MCP page, so an agent has no destructive actions to approve (18 of 20). The data it returns includes contact records, form submissions and website-visitor details that outsiders write, and no injection guidance was found (3 of 15). No audit log or per-call view found in the reviewed pages (0). No security.txt (the path returns the HTML site), no disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found. The privacy policy states encryption in transit only (0).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Breakcold | Payani AI | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 15 | Breakcold +30 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 13 | Breakcold +77 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 26 | Breakcold +41 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 60 | 47 | Breakcold +13 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 15 | 30 | Payani AI +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 35 | Breakcold +25 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 67 | 59 | Breakcold +8 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **58 · C** | **29.5 · F** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Breakcold | Payani AI |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | MCP server |\n| Vendor | Logike SAS | Payani Media LLC |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.breakcold.com/mcp/v1` | `https://app.payani.ai/api/mcp` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth |\n| Pricing | Paid | Paid |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | none | Proprietary service under Payani.ai's Terms of Service |\n| Tools exposed | 72 | none |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | yes |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-10-20 |\n| Terms last updated | couldn't be read | 2026-10-24 |\n| Privacy policy last updated | couldn't be read | 2026-10-26 |\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 | 2.5/5 (4) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Breakcold\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Payani AI\n\n- +0.2 on 27 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**Payani AI.** A young marketing and CRM suite whose remote MCP server lets an outside agent read contacts, pipeline, meetings and reporting under OAuth with a single read scope. The voice and text execution announced on 20 October works only inside the app, and no status page, rate limits, API or tool definitions were found publicly.\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### Payani AI\n\n1. Add `https://app.payani.ai/api/mcp` as a custom connector, as the MCP page shows for Claude, and have the person sign in and pick a workspace; the only scope is `read`.\n2. Don't plan writes through Payani. Hand campaign sends, follow-ups and record edits to the person in the app.\n3. Treat contact, form and website-visitor fields as untrusted text when reading them back.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Breakcold or Payani AI?\n\nBreakcold scores 58 (C) on agent readiness against Payani AI's 29.5 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
