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- Salesflare (57): Public Swagger 2.0 file with 71 operations, linked as a download from the API introduction (\"You can download it here\") and from `llms.txt`, re-read on 4 November (25). `llms.txt` on the main site and help centre, with a Markdown twin for every page. The API reference itself is a Redoc page drawn from the spec (10). 17 of 71 operations have a description, and most repeat the summary (5 of 20). Enums, formats, minimums and required fields are widespread, but custom fields travel as a string, alternatives use a non-standard `x-alternatives` key, and the help centre says phone number arrays are not well described (10 of 15). No examples. 47 operations document only a `default` response, and errors appear only as a table of five status codes (4 of 15). The spec is version 1.0.0 with no changelog. Old fields are marked deprecated in their descriptions (3 of 15). Total 57.\n\n### Reliability: Breakcold +27\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- Salesflare (18): Read with the hosted lines. Salesflare links a status page at status.salesflare.com, but on 4 November its robots.txt answered an empty 406, which this run reads as a refusal (as pipedrive's), so the 9 October readings of its components and history are struck and the line has no readable component history (20 to 0). No part of the window from 6 August could be read (30 to 5). No rate limit numbers found (0). The API introduction, re-read on 4 November, lists 429 with no Retry-After or backoff guidance, and there are no idempotency keys. `update_if_exists` on account creation and `force=false` on contact creation allow a safe retry of two writes (3 of 15, partial kept). No SLA found, and the terms promise reasonable endeavours without a figure (0). The REST API carries no beta label (10). 0+5+0+3+0+10 = 18.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Breakcold +18\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- Salesflare (49): Graded on the REST API. The MCP tool definitions sit behind OAuth and were not read. Lists take `limit` and `offset`, and `details=false` on accounts and opportunities trims the response, with no field selection (14 of 25). `search`, `order_by`, typed field filters and a `q` rule builder on every main list, with no documented maximum page size or total count (16 of 20). The docs list five status codes without causes and 47 operations type their response only as `default`; the 9 October reading of an error body came from an unauthenticated request to the API, which is struck. The status-code table still partly meets the line, so the earlier partial is kept (8 of 20, partial kept). No idempotency keys. `update_if_exists` and `force=false` cover account and contact creation only (5 of 20). Few required fields, and no official SDK was found among the vendor's 47 public repositories (6 of 15). 14+16+8+5+6 = 49.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Breakcold +16\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- Salesflare (44): REST uses API keys sent as a Bearer header, created in Settings with no documented scopes, expiry or rotation. The MCP server uses OAuth authorisation code with PKCE (S256) and dynamic client registration, and its metadata lists only `openid` and `offline_access`, so tokens are not scoped by resource (22 of 30). Viewer, team member, manager and admin roles with data scopes exist on the Pro plan, but whether an API key inherits its creator's role is not documented. The MCP guide tells users to start with read-only requests and review writes (8 of 20). Account feeds return email and message content, with no injection guidance found (3 of 15). No audit log found (0). A disclosure programme with bounties generally of $20 to $80 and reports to security@salesflare.com (re-read on 4 November), CASA Tier 2 verification revalidated yearly and testing by an independent lab per the help centre. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own and no security.txt (11 of 20). Total 44.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Salesflare +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- Salesflare (30): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public and unchanged on 4 November, $29 to $99 a user a month billed annually ($39 to $124 monthly), with nothing per call (10). 30-day trial with no card, and an API key can be created on a trial account (20). A person signs up in a browser and creates the key, or signs in to approve the OAuth connection (0). Total 30.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Breakcold | Salesflare | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 18 | Breakcold +27 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 57 | Breakcold +33 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 67 | 49 | Breakcold +18 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 60 | 44 | Breakcold +16 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 15 | 30 | Salesflare +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 5 | Breakcold +55 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 67 | 58 | Breakcold +9 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **58 · C** | **37.8 · F** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Breakcold | Salesflare |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Logike SAS | Salesflare BVBA |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.breakcold.com/mcp/v1` | `https://api.salesflare.com` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Paid |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | none | Proprietary service under Salesflare's Terms of Service |\n| Tools exposed | 72 | none |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-10-08 |\n| Terms last updated | couldn't be read | no date given |\n| Privacy policy last updated | couldn't be read | couldn't be read |\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\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Breakcold\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Salesflare\n\n- -10.7 on 4 November 2026 (D to F): new evidence, correction\n- -0.2 on 28 October 2026: correction\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**Salesflare.** The REST API has a public Swagger 2.0 file covering 71 operations, with typed filters on every list call and a 30-day trial that needs no card. No rate limit numbers, API changelog, SDK or audit log were found in the reviewed documentation, and API keys carry no documented scopes.\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### Salesflare\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003cAPI key\u003e` to `https://api.salesflare.com`. A person creates the key in Settings, API keys\n2. Set `limit` on every list call. The default is 10 on `/accounts` and 20 on `/contacts` and `/tasks`, and no maximum is documented\n3. Pass `update_if_exists=true` when creating an account, or `force=false` when creating a contact, so a retried call does not duplicate a record\n4. Write custom fields as `custom__fieldname`, and add `\"_dirty\": \"true\"` to each object in an array sent with PUT, per the help centre\n5. Back off on 429, because no limit or Retry-After guidance is published, and expect only a status code from the documented table\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Breakcold or Salesflare?\n\nBreakcold scores 58 (C) on agent readiness against Salesflare's 37.8 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Salesflare leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Breakcold and Salesflare need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Breakcold and Salesflare without installing anything?\n\nYes.
