No API, webhook or MCP tool covers Agents, so an outside agent can't create, run or read them.\n\n**Tray.ai API + MCP.** Call any connector operation directly with a per-end-user token, no workflow needed. No published prices and no self-serve plan.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Motive Agents\n\n1. 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### Tray.ai API + MCP\n\n1. Use a user token when acting for a customer and the master token only for admin work\n2. Parse the body of call-connector responses for upstream status codes before treating a 200 as success\n3. Point Headless MCP at the workspace's region, api.eu1.tray.io or api.ap1.tray.io outside the US\n4. Pick the workspace at OAuth sign-in. Headless MCP binds it to the session and takes no workspace ID\n5. Ask before any Headless MCP delete.
