Don't plan to call Motive Agents. They're built and run by people in the Motive Fleet Dashboard\n2. For Motive fleet data, use Motive's Public API or its MCP server instead, with the customer's admin authorisation\n3. Ask the fleet's Motive admin to set up or change an Agent, and describe the trigger, condition and action you need\n4. Expect Agents to place real calls to drivers and mark vehicles out of service, so confirm with the fleet manager before suggesting one\n\n### n8n API + MCP\n\n1. Check the instance version before trusting it. Anything older than the September 2026 patch releases carries published high-severity flaws\n2. Ask for only the OAuth scopes the job needs. `workflow:read` plus `workflow:execute` keeps the builder and delete tools out of the tool list\n3. Call `get_workflow_details` with `detailLevel` set to execution before `execute_workflow`, which returns an execution ID and doesn't wait\n4. Follow `nextCursor` until it's null when paging workflows or executions\n5. On Cloud trial accounts `/api/v1` won't answer. Use the MCP server or a paid plan\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Motive Agents or n8n API + MCP?\n\nn8n API + MCP scores 53.1 (D) on agent readiness against Motive Agents's 24.3 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
