gotoHuman vs Temporal

gotoHuman

Built for agent review, with TypeScript and Python SDKs, a 3-tool MCP server, an n8n node and a Make app. No status page, published rate limits or documented error responses.

Temporal

Waits of any length with a timeout survive worker restarts and deploys. No reviewer inbox, notifications or routing, so the human side is all your code.

gotoHuman

1. Call get-form-schema before request-human-review-with-form, since the field data must match the review type
2. Send agentId on every API request, because the API reference marks it required even though the JS SDK doesn't
3. Pass a webhookUrl per request when the review type has no default, or the answer has nowhere to go
4. Deduplicate webhook calls on the Idempotency-Key header, since delivery is at least once
5. Set your own deadline on the agent side and treat silence as a rejection

Temporal

1. Put the decision in a typed Signal payload (approver, decision, comments, timestamp) instead of a bare boolean
2. Always wait with a timeout and treat the timeout path as a rejection or an escalation on purpose
3. Use the workflow ID as the approval ID, so the reviewer's tool only needs one value to send the Signal
4. Use an Update instead of a Signal when the approver's tool needs an acknowledgement back
5. Expect ResourceExhausted under load and let the SDK retry it, since signals are throttled last
