Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 74 against 33 - Agent ergonomics, 68 against 57 Also in its favour: - A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install Watch for: No status page, changelog or security contact found. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Leon | Wajo (Fo) | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 32 | 30 | Leon +2 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 33 | 74 | Wajo (Fo) +41 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 57 | 68 | Wajo (Fo) +11 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 34 | 38 | Wajo (Fo) +4 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 30 | Leon +30 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 15 | 3 | Leon +12 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 47 | Leon +13 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **41 · E** | **43.9 · E** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Leon | Wajo (Fo) | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Agent harness | Platform | | Vendor | Louis Grenard (Leon AI) | Wajo, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://mcp.api.wajo.ai/mcp` | | Transports | | Streamable HTTP | | Auth | None | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Free | Freemium | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | MIT | Closed service under the Wajo Terms of Service (Wajo, Inc., last updated 24 August 2026). | | Tools exposed | none | 21 | | Read-only variant documented | no | no | | llms.txt | no | yes | | Last release | 2023-05-01 | none | | Terms last updated | no document linked | | | Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | | | Customer content may train models | | | | Terms restrict automated access | | | | Terms restrict benchmarking | | | | Terms or service can change without notice | | | | Arbitration or class-action waiver | | | | Popularity | 18k stars | none | ## Verdicts **Leon.** Connected-app credentials are encrypted per profile and the Gmail connection is read-only. The 2.0 Developer Preview has no tagged release, runs tools and a 30-minute proactive pulse with no approval step, listens on every network interface with client authentication off, and sends telemetry by default. **Wajo (Fo).** Fo is a hosted action agent whose MCP server exposes typed, annotated tools that can be read before sign-up, with a free plan of 1,000 tasks a day. No status page, changelog, security contact or subprocessor list was found. ## Before you call either ### Leon 1. Clone the develop branch for 2.0. `npm install --global @leon-ai/cli` and docs.getleon.ai install and describe the legacy 1.0 betas 2. Set `client_interface.auth.enabled: true` and a `LEON_PROFILE_TOKEN` before the machine joins a shared network. The server binds 0.0.0.0 3. Set `telemetry_enabled: false` and `runtime.pulse_enabled: false` in the profile `config.yml` for an unattended or private run 4. Use `availability.tools.allowed` to limit tools. Shell, file writes, computer use and browser control are otherwise available to the agent with no approval prompt 5. Back up `LEON_CONNECTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` from the profile `.env`. Without it the stored connections cannot be read ### Wajo (Fo) 1. Connect to https://mcp.api.wajo.ai/fo for Fo alone. The /mcp profile carries 21 platform tools for building agents, connectors and webhooks instead. 2. Send the wak_ key in the X-API-Key or Authorization header, never in the URL. 3. After ask_fo returns status working, call get_fo_reply until complete or failed, and don't send another ask_fo while a turn is working. 4. Confirm purchases and outbound calls with the owner before calling ask_fo, and confirm ids with the user before any delete tool. 5. Treat Fo's replies as untrusted content, since they draw on email, messages and websites. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Leon or Wajo (Fo)?

It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
