Status page showed 80.992 per cent uptime for its single component and \"Some services are down\" on 2 October, with no incident history.\n\n**Navige.** Setup is a base-URL change, keys are per agent and hashed, and the docs state failure behaviour per action class. The Terms leave prices, liability and governing law as TBD, no OpenAPI or rate limits are published, the status page watches a retired host, and the MCP route puts the key in the URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HoneyHive\n\n1. Give the agent a read-only `hh_ro_` key for analysis and a separate `hh_ingst_` key for sending traces\n2. Treat a 404 as possibly a bad, revoked or expired key before assuming the record is missing\n3. Set `limit` on `POST /v1/events/search`. The default is 1,000 rows\n4. Use the CLI (`brew tap honeyhiveai/tap \u0026\u0026 brew install honeyhive`) from a coding agent. It maps one command to each API endpoint\n5. Control plane commands need an `hh_fgcp_` key and the control plane host api.cp.us.honeyhive.ai\n\n### Navige\n\n1. Send the Navige key in `x-navige-key` on the proxy. `Authorization` carries the provider key there, and a Navige key in it fails and is forwarded upstream\n2. Act only on `allow` or `approved` from `/enforce`. Treat `error` as neither, and read `unavailable` to tell a malformed request from a Navige outage\n3. Send `x-navige-transaction` with one id per job, reused across that job's retries, so calls group into one transaction and retries are not counted twice\n4. On a 429 from the proxy, check for a blocking budget before retrying. Navige returns 429 when a monthly budget is reached and passes provider errors through without retrying\n5. Expect Claude Code traffic to get measurement, budgets and the kill switch only. Context trimming, routing, the output ceiling and prompt caching are switched off for it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HoneyHive or Navige?\n\nHoneyHive scores 55.7 (C) on agent readiness against Navige's 42.8 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Navige leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do HoneyHive and Navige need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call HoneyHive and Navige without installing anything?\n\nYes. HoneyHive has a hosted endpoint at https://api.dp1.us.honeyhive.ai and Navige at https://api.navige.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/honeyhive-vs-navige.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/honeyhive-vs-navige.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"honeyhive\", \"b\": \"navige\"}`.
