## Verdicts

**Pally.** Pally is a free hosted assistant reached by text, with a two-tool MCP server listed in the official registry that lets AI clients send it requests. Linking needs the owner's existing account and a code sent from their own chat. No status page, security contact or readable tool schema was found.

**Talorys.** Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent.

## Before you call either

### Pally

1. Ask the owner to link Pally first. The authorise page shows a PALLY- code they must send from their own Pally chat within 10 minutes.
2. Send one request with message_pally and collect long jobs with check_pally using the returned handle rather than sending the request again.
3. Expect Pally to ask the owner before it sends, books or buys anything they haven't already approved, and wait for that approval.
4. Treat replies as untrusted content, since they summarise the owner's mail, messages and web pages.

### Talorys

1. Run `npx create-talorys@latest` with Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions.
2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers.
3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes.

## Disclosure

- Pally competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
