Error bodies carry a message without a machine code, there are no idempotency keys, audit logs are Enterprise only, and no data processing agreement, sub-processor list or security.txt was found.\n\n**Sanity.** Sanity publishes 26 OpenAPI specs covering 225 operations, and its hosted MCP server saves edits to drafts or release versions, with publishing as a separate call. The Content Lake does not run schema validation on API writes, and custom roles that limit a token to one dataset or document type are sold only on Enterprise plans.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hygraph\n\n1. Send the Permanent Auth Token as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` to `https://\u003cregion\u003e.hygraph.com/v2/\u003cprojectId\u003e/\u003cenvironment\u003e`. Read the schema by introspection first, because every type is generated from the project's models\n2. Mutations write to DRAFT. Call `publish\u003cModel\u003e` with `to: [PUBLISHED]` as a separate mutation, and pass `locales` to write or publish a localisation\n3. Stay under the plan's limit for uncached requests (5 a second on Hobby, 25 on Growth) and its concurrent mutations (5 and 10). Back off exponentially on 429\n4. Upload an asset with `createAsset`, then POST the file to the returned pre-signed URL, or pass `uploadUrl` for a remote file. The asset stays `ASSET_CREATE_PENDING` until processed\n5. Schema changes go to the Management API through `@hygraph/management-sdk` or the MCP tool `submit_batch_migration`. Version restore has no documented mutation, so read `\u003cmodel\u003eVersion` and write the old values back\n\n### Sanity\n\n1. Pin a static dated version in every URL, such as `v2025-02-19`. Omitting `apiVersion` in `@sanity/client` falls back to `v1`.\n2. Validate documents against the schema yourself before an HTTP write, or run `sanity documents validate` afterwards. The Content Lake does not enforce schema rules.\n3. Back off on 429 for mutations yourself. `@sanity/client` retries queries five times but never retries mutations. The limit is 25 mutations a second per IP.\n4. Over MCP, call `create_version` before `patch_documents` when editing inside a release, then patch the returned version ID with the same `releaseId`.\n5. Use GROQ projections and slices to size results. MCP query responses are limited to 64 KiB, and a blocked Free project answers 402 with `plan_limit_reached`.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hygraph or Sanity?\n\nSanity scores 73.7 (BB) on agent readiness against Hygraph's 69.3 (B), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
