No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 October 2026.\n\n**Town.** Town is a hosted assistant that works across the owner's mail, calendar and work apps, and other systems can start its routines through per-routine webhooks with rotatable secrets, idempotency keys and documented errors. A caller can't read a run's result. The privacy policy and trust page disagree on whether training is on by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Lobby\n\n1. Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner.\n2. Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app.\n3. Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say.\n\n### Town\n\n1. Start a Town routine with POST to its webhook URL, Authorization Bearer whsec_ secret, and application/json or text/plain. Expect 202 only.\n2. Send X-Town-Idempotency-Key with a stable event id on every retry so Town doesn't start a second run.\n3. Treat 404 as wrong secret, disabled endpoint or missing endpoint alike, and ask the owner to check Routine Settings rather than retrying.\n4. Send account_email only if the owner allowed the override. It must match a connected account in full and can't widen the routine's scope.\n5. Ask the owner to keep routines that act on webhook input in approval-required mode, as Town's own docs advise.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lobby or Town?\n\nTown scores 48.7 (D) on agent readiness against Lobby's 11.1 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lobby-os-vs-town.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lobby-os-vs-town.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lobby-os\", \"b\": \"town\"}`.
