Alone this would be Lindy's -3 for a pricing-page answer the vendor's own pages contradict (https://www.skydive.com/assets/main-MHOpsky7.js, https://www.skydive.com/privacy).", "2) Certification, one of the three. The home page says \"SOC 2 compliant\" twice and the site footer shows a badge with the alt text \"SOC 2 Type 1\", while the DPA (7.2) says that as of 29 July 2026 Create is pursuing SOC 2 compliance and does not represent that any SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report or certification has been completed, and the privacy policy says Create is pursuing SOC 2. No report or trust centre was found. Alone this would be the ScaleDown and Nevermined -2 (https://www.skydive.com/assets/main-MHOpsky7.js, https://www.skydive.com/dpa).", "3) Secrets, one of the three. The Secrets, Network controls and Permissioning pages say the agent never sees a secret, that it \"was never in the sandbox to begin with\" and that the design \"removes the whole class of risk\", and the pricing FAQ says secrets are \"never shown to the model\". The platform CLI, which the docs say is inside every agent's sandbox, lists `secrets get` to read a value and `secrets download --plain` to print raw values, and the OpenAPI description of setAgentSecret says the value becomes an environment variable in the sandbox. Alone this would be at least the -2 Picoclaw and OpenInstinct took for a security claim the product doesn't keep. None of the three is corrected, so the deduction is the top of the range for misleading claims rather than -7, as Self Agent Vault and AgentOS folded several claims into one deduction (https://www.skydive.com/docs/integrations/secrets.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/capabilities/network.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/api-reference/cli/secrets.md, https://www.skydive.com/docs/api-reference/platform-cli.md, https://api.skydive.com/v1/openapi.json)." ], "verdict": "Skydive publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and scoped, agent-bound API keys, though outside agents can send it tasks only through the CLI.

Its status page records several major incidents, including a 25-hour Agent Hosting outage, and its home and pricing pages say data is never used for training while the privacy policy turns training on by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Instinct\n\n1. Don't look for an endpoint. app.instinct.com/mcp serves the web app shell and refuses POST with 405.\n2. Confirm any purchase with the owner. The terms say Actions may not be reversible.\n\n### Skydive\n\n1. Send tasks with `skydive chat -p \"...\" --agent \u003cid\u003e --json` and pass `--conversation \u003cid\u003e` from the JSON to keep context. The REST API can't send a task.\n2. Don't retry `chat -p` or a create blindly after a timeout. There's no idempotency key, so list agents or keys before retrying.\n3. Ask the owner for an agent-bound `use` key when you only need to read. Account-level `edit` keys can create agents and mint keys.\n4. Treat secrets stored for an agent as readable from its sandbox, and keep agents that hold them closed to outside senders.\n5. Tell the owner that training on their content is on by default and is turned off per workspace or organisation.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Instinct or Skydive?\n\nSkydive scores 52.1 (D) on agent readiness against Instinct's 7.5 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/instinct-vs-skydive.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/instinct-vs-skydive.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"instinct\", \"b\": \"skydive\"}`.
