The team says it's in San Francisco and posts from iPhones with US SIM cards; where data is processed and who processes it isn't stated (3 of 20). 5 + 0 + 10 + 3 = 18. It does publish its own results, including that 42% of 6,678 videos it measured never reached 1,000 views.\n- Typefully (66): Closed service under published terms, with the Agent Skill under MIT (15). The privacy policy says deleted data is purged within 30 days, that AI providers may not train on customer data and that data is processed in the United States, and it links a sub-processor list. No DPA was found, and the terms say only that data may be kept for a limited period (20). No deprecation policy. The v1 to v2 migration guide gives no end date for v1, `draft_id` is marked deprecated with no date, and the terms may change without notice (4). About 30 sub-processors listed by purpose on a page dated 3 March 2026, without locations for each (16). Per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November. 15 + 20 + 4 + 16 = 55.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Pamba +26\n\n- Pamba (84): No OpenAPI file found. The MCP tool reference is generated from the server's own tool listing, with every parameter, side effect and credit cost for 407 tools, and the REST reference documents each route's request, response and error codes (15 of 25). llms.txt with the docs corpus (10). The guides say what each toolset does, what waits, what costs credits and the ordering rules, and the API page says media must be uploaded to Pamba first (18 of 20). Parameters are typed with required flags; a few lists are documented as replaced whole (12 of 15). Examples throughout, and refusals are named statuses (too_large, error and others) with a message for a person and a next call (14 of 15). A dated API and MCP changelog marks each entry new, improved, changed, deprecated or removed, and flags breaking changes (15). 15 + 10 + 18 + 12 + 14 + 15 = 84.\n- Typefully (58): Per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November (Typefully's terms bar crawling). An OpenAPI 3.1 document on the API host, api.typefully.com, was read on 8 October, but no docs page read then was recorded as linking it as a visible download, and the host is now paused, so it isn't counted as a published contract (0). `llms.txt`, the full reference as Markdown and an RFC 9727 API catalogue (10). Descriptions in the reference state purpose, the permission each call needs and how drafts move between states, with less on when not to use a call (15). Inputs are typed per platform with enums, length limits and required fields, though `publish_at` mixes keywords and datetimes in one string (12). Examples and error responses on every operation, with no list of error codes (11). The version is in the path and API changes are dated in the product changelog, with no API changelog of its own (10). 0 + 10 + 15 + 12 + 11 + 10 = 58.\n\n### Reliability: Pamba +15\n\n- Pamba (45): Graded as a hosted service. No status page found: none is linked, and status.pamba.app didn't answer (0). With no page there's no incident history to read (5 of 30). Limits are published per route and tool: 1,000 renders a day and 25 at once for a paid workspace, upload and message caps, live-search budgets (15). 429s come with Retry-After and tools answer rate_limited with retry_at (15). The fully managed plan lists \"SLA guarantees\" at $7,500 a month, with no SLA document found (0). Self-serve and live (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 45.\n- Typefully (30): Graded as a hosted service. No status page was found on 8 October, since status.typefully.com did not connect and the API catalogue's status link is the API root (0). With no page there is no incident history to read (5). Rate limits are documented per user and per social set through response headers, with no figures (5, a partial kept). 429 is documented on every operation with reset timestamps to wait for, which is retry-wait guidance alone, with no `Retry-After` and no idempotency key for writes (10, as mandrill and plivo). No SLA, and the terms supply the service as is (0). API v2 has been live since 17 December 2025 and is not labelled beta (10). Typefully's terms bar crawling or scraping any page relating to the Services, so these are per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November. 0 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 0 + 10 = 30.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Pamba +13\n\n- Pamba (75): Read on the MCP server. 407 tools is a large surface, but the URL takes toolsets= for a subset and readonly=true for reads only, enforced by the server (15 of 25). Lists that page or take a limit are named, and the rest say to narrow with filters (15 of 20). Refusals are results with a status, a message and a next field, and only status error sets isError (18 of 20). Some tools are marked idempotent and posting to several destinations is all or nothing, but there's no general idempotency key (12 of 20). Connector guides for Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini, and four workflow prompts (15 of 15). 15 + 15 + 18 + 12 + 15 = 75.\n- Typefully (62): List calls take `limit` up to 50 with a default of 10, and a draft read can drop comment markers, but there is no field selection (15). Limit and offset pagination with status, tag and ordering filters on drafts (20). Errors carry a code, a message and field details with a location path (16). No idempotency key. A planned draft is a write that cannot publish, which makes retries safer for that state only, and MCP tool annotations were not read (4). Creating a draft needs only `platforms`, but there is no official SDK, only the skill's CLI script (7). Per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November. 15 + 20 + 16 + 4 + 7 = 62.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Pamba +8\n\n- Pamba (53): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Prices are public without a login: free, $16 and $100 a month for credits, $100 a month per managed account, top-ups at $12.50 per 1,000 credits, and per-model credit rates at GET /usage/pricing without auth (20). A free plan of 300 credits; whether it needs a card isn't stated (15 of 20). A person signs up in a browser before a key or an OAuth approval (0). 0 + 20 + 15 + 0 = 35. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 35 is 53.\n- Typefully (45): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan pricing sits on a public page without a login, but the figures are drawn by script and were not read, so this line rests on the page's plan names and a $12.50 figure in the vendor's blog (10). A free plan exists, the onboarding script skips checkout for it, and the API was announced as available to all users (20). A person signs up in a browser and creates the key in settings (0). Per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November. 0 + 10 + 20 + 0 = 30. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 30 is 45.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Pamba | Typefully | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 30 | Pamba +15 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 84 | 58 | Pamba +26 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 62 | Pamba +13 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 35 | 38 | Typefully +3 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 53 | 45 | Pamba +8 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 67 | Pamba +3 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 28 | 66 | Typefully +38 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -15 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **41.2 · E** | **46.4 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Pamba | Typefully |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Pamba | Typefully Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.pamba.app/mcp` | `https://api.typefully.com` |\n| Transports | HTTP, Streamable HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed service.

Its MCP server and API are well documented and drive that too. No terms of service or privacy policy is published.\n\n**Typefully.** Markdown docs, `llms.txt` and a hosted MCP server with OAuth cover drafts, scheduling, media and review comments, and planned drafts never publish until confirmed. Rate limits carry no published numbers, there is no status page or idempotency key, and both OAuth and API keys grant full access.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Pamba\n\n1. Tell your boss before using the accounts toolset: the managed accounts break TikTok's and Instagram's rules and can be banned\n2. Connect with ?readonly=true or a toolsets= subset; the full server is 407 tools\n3. Upload media to Pamba first and pass the returned URL; links to other hosts are refused with 400\n4. Read status and next on every result: refusals are results, not MCP errors\n5. Check credit costs before generation calls; 38 tools spend credits\n\n### Typefully\n\n1. Call `GET /v2/social-sets` first. Every draft, media, tag and queue path needs a `social_set_id`\n2. Use `plan_at` or omit both dates to leave a draft unpublished. `publish_at: \"now\"` posts at once and is asynchronous\n3. Do not retry a failed publish blindly. Read the draft's `status` and `publish_state` first, because no idempotency key exists\n4. Read `X-RateLimit-User-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-SocialSet-Remaining` on each response, and wait until the `Reset` timestamp after a 429\n5. Send the key only as `Authorization: Bearer`. The legacy MCP URL with `?TYPEFULLY_API_KEY=` still works and puts the key in logs\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Draft a two-post thread with Typefully](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/typefully/), for Typefully\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Pamba or Typefully?\n\nTypefully scores 46.4 (D) on agent readiness against Pamba's 41.2 (E), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.
