gotoHuman vs Trigger.dev

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.

Trigger.dev

Tokens complete from a backend, a pre-signed callback URL or the browser with a token scoped to one waitpoint. 10-minute default timeout on tokens.

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

Trigger.dev

1. Pass an explicit timeout to wait.createToken() and handle ok: false as a timeout
2. Use an idempotency key when creating the token so a retried step doesn't send the reviewer a second request
3. Give the browser the publicAccessToken, never the secret key, and don't call token.url from client code
4. Tag tokens with the user or task ID so pending approvals can be listed per reviewer
5. Start the MCP server with --readonly when the agent only needs to inspect runs
