## Which one, for what

### Coda (Superhuman Docs) (B)

Good for: Teams whose working data already sits in Coda docs and who want an agent to read and upsert table rows or build docs.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 81 against 72
- Security & auth, 71 against 62
- Transparency & trust, 78 against 64

Watch for: Row writes return 202 and take a few seconds to apply, and reads come from a snapshot that can be stale

### Teable (C)

Good for: Teams that want Airtable-style typed tables on PostgreSQL that they can also self-host, with an agent reading and writing records through tokens limited by scope and project, or through the vendor's CLI and skill.

Also in its favour:
- Open source

Watch for: The OpenAPI file documents only 200 and 201 responses for nearly every operation, and the error page lists HTTP statuses without a table of error codes

## Verdicts

**Coda (Superhuman Docs).** API tokens can be limited to one doc or one table and to read or write, and the OpenAPI description covers 125 operations with 429 on almost all. Writes are queued and answered with 202, so each needs a status check. The REST API has no idempotency keys or official client libraries, and the MCP server is in beta.

**Teable.** Personal access tokens and OAuth tokens carry per-action scopes, and tokens can be limited to chosen spaces and projects. The public OpenAPI file covers 841 operations. Error responses beyond 200 and 201 are missing from that file, no idempotency keys were found, and the cloud allows 10 requests a second on every plan.

## Before you call either

### Coda (Superhuman Docs)

1. Poll `/mutationStatus/{requestId}` after every row write. A 202 means queued, and the edit can still fail
2. Send `X-Coda-Doc-Version: latest` when a read must reflect recent edits, and handle the 400 it returns when the snapshot is behind
3. Use `keyColumns` on `POST .../rows` so a retried insert updates the same row instead of adding a duplicate
4. Ask for a token restricted to the one doc or table and to read access where the task allows. An unrestricted token can do anything its owner can
5. Read MCP tool names from the tool list at run time. The vendor says names and parameters can change during the beta

### Teable

1. Send `Authorization: Bearer <token>` to `https://app.teable.ai/api`. A 403 with code `restricted_resource` usually means a missing scope or a project outside the token's list
2. Page records with `take` of 100 at most. Personal keys created on Teable Cloud since 10 September 2026 are capped at 100 a request
3. Ask for totals from `/api/table/{tableId}/aggregation/row-count`. Record lists stopped returning them by default on 2 September 2026
4. Keep to 10 requests a second, back off on 429, and check before retrying a failed write because no idempotency key exists
5. Pass `fieldKeyType=id` so renamed fields don't break writes, and leave `typecast` off unless values need converting
