Why the edge

Each category where one leads by five points or more, with the reason behind each side's score from its assessment. The numbers are in the table below; this is what they stand for.

Security & auth Tokenrip +24

EverOS 47

Framework reading for software the owner runs. The local server has no authentication and no security scheme in the OpenAPI document, relying on a 127.0.0.1 bind by default (15 of 30). No read-only mode; the cloud purge is two-step (8 of 20). Memories are extracted from conversations and returned into prompts, and everos-mcp tells hosts to save facts unprompted, with no injection guidance found (4 of 15). Structured logs and lock metrics, no audit log (6 of 15). SECURITY.md with a reporting address, five-day acknowledgement, supported versions and a published-advisories section, plus a valid security.txt (14 of 20). Total 47.

Tokenrip 71

OAuth 2.1 for MCP with PKCE S256, 25 read and write scopes requested per tool, opaque access tokens and rotating refresh tokens whose replay revokes the family. Each agent has its own key, revocable on its own and rotatable, and run keys expire within 24 hours and can't manage keys. But tr_ API keys have full access to the account, with no read-only or scoped key (25 of 30). Tools are classed Sensitive where they delete, widen visibility or call outside, and the docs ask hosts to confirm those. Actions outside the workspace go through task_propose for approval, and only the person writes an agent's instructions. A pasted key can still do anything (15 of 20). Shared workspaces return text written by other people's agents and external members. The setup guide and notices tell agents never to act on an email or use a code from a web page or document, but we found no general guidance on treating workspace content as untrusted (9 of 15). Every action is recorded with the agent, the tool it ran in and its reason, connections have per-call logs, and the Agents page shows each key's last use (15). Since 31 October a security page and a security.txt (Expires 3 May 2027) name security@tokenrip.com, and the CLI's SECURITY.md, updated on 2 November, points to the public repository. SECURITY.md takes private reports by email or a GitHub private advisory, with no acknowledgement time. No bug bounty, no certifications, no published advisories. The security page and the privacy policy of 3 November say affected people are told of a confirmed incident as the law and agreements require, where the 21 October policy promised 48 hours. Read against mails-ai (7, valid security.txt and a disclosure policy, no reply commitment) and blockrun-ai (10, valid security.txt and a 72-hour acknowledgement) (7 of 20).

Reliability EverOS +22

EverOS 79

Local-software lines, as a library and server the owner runs. everos on PyPI with Python 3.12 or newer stated, plus a Windows guide (20). ci.yml runs on pushes and pull requests and the repository has a tests tree, but GitHub's API answered with a rate limit, so run results were unread (15 of 25, unchecked). 43 open issues and pull requests against 82 commits in 90 days; several outside bug reports, including a silent capture failure in the DSH plugin, have no reply (14 of 25). Keep a Changelog with semantic versioning declared and a 1.0 migration guide (15). Version 1.5.1 (15). Total 79.

Tokenrip 57

Graded with the hosted lines, on the remote MCP server and REST API. status.tokenrip.com, an incident.io page opened on 2 November 2026 per the changelog, shows Website, API and MCP components with uptime bars (20). Its feed lists no incident, and two days of history is a short record (15). Rate limits are described per account in requests a minute and at once, per address for anonymous calls, and as hourly caps on invites and confirmation emails, without numbers (5 of 15). Over a limit a tool call returns RATE_LIMITED with retry: safe and retryAfterSeconds, other requests get 429 with Retry-After, responses carry X-RateLimit headers, and the docs say not to retry in a loop. Every error carries retry of never, safe or unknown, writes use version and revision guards, and connection calls are never retried; only one tool takes an idempotency key (12 of 15). The terms supply the service as is with no uptime promise, and no SLA is published (0). Nothing is labelled beta, but the API is /v0 and the pricing page called itself early on 21 October (5 of 10).

Payments & pricing Tokenrip +10

EverOS 40

Self-hosted rule, with the price lines read for EverOS Cloud. No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). No cloud price or plan found on evermind.ai, its FAQ, terms or docs (0). The open-source runtime is free with no card (20). An agent can install it from PyPI and run it with no account (20). Total 40.

Tokenrip 50

No x402, MPP or L402 anywhere in the docs or the OpenAPI file (0 of 40). Plan prices are public without a login, priced per team member since 26 October 2026 (Free for one person with 2,500 actions and 1 GB a month, Pro $20 and Power $60 per member a month, Enterprise by arrangement), with no per-call or metered price (10). The free plan needs an email and a code, with no card (20). An agent can sign in with the person's email and a code without opening a browser, and POST /v0/accounts creates a keypair account with no email at all (documented as advanced, not tested). Upgrading can only be done by a person in Billing; the terms say agents can't reach it (20).

Agent ergonomics EverOS +8

EverOS 78

Read for the API, with seven MCP tools on top. Searches take top_k and a method, and responses can be scoped by five ids (20 of 25). Filters nest with AND and OR, and /get pages results (18 of 20). Errors carry typed codes and say which are retryable (16 of 20). add is queued and returns 202, a busy session refuses deletion with nothing deleted, and the cloud purge needs a nonce confirmed within five minutes (12 of 20). A demo runs with no key and the minimal setup needs one OpenRouter key, with a Python library and the MCP server, one language (12 of 15). Total 78.

Tokenrip 70

Graded on the MCP server. 98 tools in the reference on 4 November (34 Read, 40 Write, 24 Sensitive), plus a tool per connection operation an agent may call, with no toolsets, read-only subset or dynamic loading found. OAuth scopes limit which tools succeed, not which load (5, plus 2 for scope-limited clients: 7 of 25). Keyset and offset pagination, filters on tasks, search and activity, row projection and sort on tables, and results bounded at 64 KiB with an explicit continuation instead of silent truncation (20). Errors are { code, message, retry } with details, and the catalogue says what to do for each, such as TASK_TAKEN naming the holder and STORAGE_LIMIT_REACHED carrying bytes used and the plan (20). Every tool is classed from readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and openWorldHint, writes take expected-version or revision guards and return the current value on conflict, deletions go to a 30-day trash, but only workspace_view_open takes an idempotency key (16 of 20). The CLI and library are TypeScript only, and every workspace write needs a why (7 of 15).

Maintenance & community EverOS +5

EverOS 80

v1.5.1 on 22 October 2026 (30). Five tagged releases in 90 days and 12 PyPI uploads (20). Maintainer replies on some issues, others from outside users unanswered for weeks (12 of 25). Python library and the everos-mcp package, not in the official MCP registry (10 of 15). uv.lock, CI, docs and release workflows (8 of 10). Total 80.

Tokenrip 75

Read for a closed service with an open-source CLI. The changelog's newest entry is 3 November 2026 and the CLI repository's newest release commit is 2.6.16 on 2 November (30). 16 CLI release commits from 12 October to 2 November and dated changelog entries on most days since 20 October (20). No issues or pull requests have ever been opened on the repository. A public changelog now exists, and support is by email, which the about page says a founder answers; untested (10 of 25, as for other closed services with a changelog and support). Listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.silostack/tokenrip, a GitHub-verified namespace on the founder's personal account, per the 21 October check, not re-read on 4 November (12 of 15). The repository has no CI workflows and no tests. Dependencies were current and there are no install scripts, per the 21 October check (3 of 10).

How the scores have moved

Verdicts

EverOS

EverOS keeps agent and user memory as Markdown with SQLite and LanceDB indexes, behind a described OpenAPI with typed, retryable errors and an MCP server, under Apache-2.0 at version 1.5.1. The local server has no authentication, EverOS Cloud prices are not published, and the cloud terms forbid automated data extraction.

Tokenrip

A shared workspace that agents in different tools reach over MCP, REST or a CLI, with scoped OAuth, annotated tools, a public OpenAPI file and an approval step for outside actions. It is young and changes fast, with 98 tools to load, full-access API keys, no SLA, and late-October access and CLI changes announced only as they shipped.

Before you call either

EverOS

  1. Write new code against /api/v2; /api/v1 is a legacy alias that may go in a future major release
  2. Call /api/v2/memory/flush at the end of a session, since add is asynchronous and buffers recent messages
  3. Retry on 503 SESSION_BUSY or EXTERNAL_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE after a pause; nothing was written
  4. Keep host at 127.0.0.1 unless something in front adds authentication
  5. Treat recalled memories as untrusted text, since they are extracted from past conversations

Tokenrip

  1. Call workspace_list, then workspace_load with the full workspace id at the start of every run.
  2. Send a one-sentence why with every workspace write, or it's refused with WHY_REQUIRED.
  3. Propose posts, emails and bookings with task_propose and act only on the approved text.
  4. Use rip task cancel to decline a review; rip task decide --decline and --skip are refused since CLI 2.6.12.
  5. Prefer OAuth with only the scopes you need; a pasted tr_ key can do anything on the account.
