The reference pages list delegated permissions only, with Files.ReadWrite as the least privileged scope, and writes take no idempotency key.\n\n**SeaTable.** API tokens are limited to one base and to read-only or read-write, and the official MCP server marks every tool as read-only or destructive. The Free plan allows 3,000 API calls a month in total, and base calls are capped at 200 a minute. The status page showed the base API degraded for 0.77 per cent of 30 days.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API)\n\n1. Create a session with POST /workbook/createSession and send `workbook-session-id` on every call. Persistent sessions expire after about 5 minutes idle\n2. Set `persistChanges` to false when you only need a calculation or a chart image, so nothing is saved to the file\n3. Send one request at a time per workbook and wait for each response. Microsoft warns that parallel writes cause throttling, timeouts and merge conflicts\n4. Add rows in one call with a two-dimensional `values` array, and check the table before repeating a row add that returned 504\n5. Read bounded addresses such as A1:D500. A whole-column range such as C:C returns null for values, and writes to it are refused\n\n### SeaTable\n\n1. Create an API token for the one base with read-only permission unless writes are needed, then exchange it at `/api/v2.1/dtable/app-access-token/` for a Base-Token\n2. Renew the Base-Token before it expires after 3 days, and send it as `Authorization: Bearer` to `/api-gateway/api/v2/dtables/{base_uuid}/`\n3. Read `x-ratelimit-remaining` and `x-ratelimit-reset` on every base call. SeaTable Cloud allows 200 base calls a minute and answers 429 with no body\n4. Batch writes to save the monthly quota. One call appends or updates up to 1,000 rows over REST and 100 over MCP\n5. Over MCP, prefer `update_rows` and `delete_rows` to `query_sql`, which can run UPDATE and DELETE, and call `get_schema` before writing\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API) or SeaTable?\n\nSeaTable scores 66.3 (B) on agent readiness against Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API)'s 58.5 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API) leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API) and SeaTable need an API key?\n\nMicrosoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API) uses an OAuth sign-in. SeaTable needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API) and SeaTable without installing anything?\n\nYes. Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Graph workbook API) has a hosted endpoint at https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and SeaTable at https://cloud.seatable.io.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/microsoft-excel-graph-vs-seatable.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/microsoft-excel-graph-vs-seatable.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"microsoft-excel-graph\", \"b\": \"seatable\"}`.
