API keys need the $37 Pro plan, the trial needs a card, the key can travel in the URL, and self-serve content may be used to train Gumloop's models.\n\n**Microsoft Power Automate.** Cloud flows in a solution are rows an agent can read and write through the Dataverse Web API under Entra ID OAuth and security roles, with published limits and a 99.9 per cent SLA. Flows under My flows can't be managed in code, a flow's body is one hand-built JSON string, and setup needs a tenant administrator.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gumloop\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer` and, for a personal key, add the `x-auth-key` header with the user ID. Do not put `api_key` in the URL\n2. Create sessions with `POST /agents/{agent_id}/sessions`, then poll `GET /sessions/{session_id}`. A 202 means processing or queued, and the reply is not in the response\n3. Supply your own `session_id` when creating a session. A repeat returns 409, which makes a retry safe\n4. For streamed output send the same body with `stream: true` to `ws.gumloop.com`. `api.gumloop.com` answers 400 to it\n5. Treat a webhook trigger URL as a password. It returns `{\"success\": true}` at once and never carries the agent's output\n\n### Microsoft Power Automate\n\n1. Filter `workflows` on `category eq 5` for cloud flows, and add `$select`, because `clientdata` holds the whole definition\n2. Flows created through the API start with `statecode` 0 (off). The docs say to turn the flow on before use\n3. Put the flow in a solution first. Flows that sit only under My flows are outside the supported API\n4. On 429 wait the `Retry-After` seconds. Reads of `flowruns` count against the daily Power Platform request allowance\n5. Treat an HTTP trigger URL with `sig=` as a secret, and prefer the tenant or named-user trigger modes with a bearer token for `https://service.flow.microsoft.com/`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gumloop or Microsoft Power Automate?\n\nMicrosoft Power Automate and Gumloop score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 62 (B) and 61.6 (C). Gumloop leads on reliability and schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Do Gumloop and Microsoft Power Automate need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Gumloop and Microsoft Power Automate without installing anything?\n\nGumloop has a hosted endpoint at https://api.gumloop.com/api/v1. No hosted endpoint is listed for Microsoft Power Automate.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gumloop-vs-power-automate.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gumloop-vs-power-automate.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gumloop\", \"b\": \"power-automate\"}`.
