The 21 October AI Employees and Context Graphs are in preview for existing customers only, and their REST and MCP access isn't documented, so an outside agent can reach the automation platform but not the new parts.\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### Kognitos\n\n1. Don't plan on Context Graph or AI Employee calls. Neither the MCP tool list nor the OpenAPI file has them, and both are customer preview only\n2. Call `GET /me/organizations` and then list workspaces first, since nearly every path needs `organization_id` and `workspace_id`\n3. Invoke with `stage: AUTOMATION_STAGE_PUBLISHED` for production and `AUTOMATION_STAGE_DRAFT` to test, then poll the run until it leaves `pending` or `running`\n4. Treat a `waiting` run as a question for a person. Answer it through the exception tools or ask the owner, rather than retrying\n5. Use OAuth with callback port 3777 for the MCP server. Another port can fail with a callback URL mismatch\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, Kognitos or Microsoft Power Automate?\n\nMicrosoft Power Automate scores 62 (B) on agent readiness against Kognitos's 57 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Kognitos leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Kognitos 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 Kognitos and Microsoft Power Automate without installing anything?\n\nKognitos has a hosted endpoint at https://app.us-1.kognitos.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/kognitos-vs-power-automate.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kognitos-vs-power-automate.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"kognitos\", \"b\": \"power-automate\"}`.
