External API and MCP access were not verified.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CowAgent\n\n1. Set `agent_permission_mode` to `workspace-write` or `read-only` before connecting any channel. Source and Docker installs default to `full-access`\n2. Keep the bot out of group chats that include other people. Any member who mentions it reaches the same tools as the owner\n3. Set `web_password` before changing `web_host` to `0.0.0.0`. The password is empty by default\n4. Set `external_api_token` to enable `POST /v1/chat/completions`, and send `conversation_id` to keep one session. The `model` field does not select a model\n5. Run it in a container for a hard boundary. The docs and the source both say the permission modes are not isolation\n\n### Hark Pro\n\n1. Hand onboarding to the person using the Hark app.\n2. Do not treat Hark Services integrations as an API for calling Hark.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CowAgent or Hark Pro?\n\nCowAgent scores 58.5 (C) on agent readiness against Hark Pro's 21.6 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are CowAgent and Hark Pro open source?\n\nCowAgent is open source (MIT).
