No published OpenAPI file and no official SDK.\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### Make API + MCP\n\n1. Find the organisation's zone first. It may be on make.com or make.celonis.com\n2. Set scenarios to on-demand scheduling so the MCP server lists them as tools\n3. Use the header form of the MCP token rather than the /mcp/u/\u003ctoken\u003e path form\n4. On a 429, wait a full minute. The limit resets per minute and no Retry-After is sent\n5. Check the `code` field on errors. IM002 means the token lacks rights, not that the resource is missing\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, Make API + MCP or Microsoft Power Automate?\n\nMicrosoft Power Automate scores 62 (B) on agent readiness against Make API + MCP's 58.7 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Make API + MCP leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Make API + MCP 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 Make API + MCP and Microsoft Power Automate without installing anything?\n\nMake API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://eu1.make.com/api/v2.
