Production needs a business review and a 12-month plan from $250 a month. The status page lists 11 incidents since 10 July 2026, including 70 minutes of timeouts across all products.\n\n**Socure RiskOS.** A public OpenAPI file, llms.txt, 15 documented error codes and dated release notes cover a ten-operation REST API, and Socure Launch publishes prices from $0.80 an evaluation with a free sandbox. API keys carry no scopes, no idempotency header is defined, no service terms are published, and production stays at zero requests until Socure activates it.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Persona\n\n1. Ask for a dedicated key limited to the permissions the task needs. A new key has every standard permission until it's limited\n2. Send `Persona-Version` on every call and an `Idempotency-Key` on every POST. A replayed key returns the first result, including a 500\n3. Treat redact calls as irreversible. They permanently delete personal data and cascade to downstream objects\n4. Stay under 300 requests a minute in production, read `RateLimit-Remaining` and `Quota-Remaining`, and back off on 429 because rejected requests still count\n5. Use `fields` and `include` to cut response size. Through MCP these parameters aren't exposed, and only 14 tools take `filter`\n\n### Socure RiskOS\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e` to `https://riskos.sandbox.socure.com/api/evaluation` for tests and `https://riskos.socure.com/api/evaluation` for live checks. The two environments use separate keys.\n2. Use dummy data only in the sandbox. It returns predefined results, connects to no live data source and expects the documented test values.\n3. Store the `eval_id` from every `POST /api/evaluation` response. No list or search endpoint exists to find it later.\n4. On 429 wait the seconds given in `X-Retry-After`. Do not blindly resend a failed `POST /api/evaluation`, because no idempotency header is documented and Launch bills each initiated evaluation.\n5. The MCP server at `https://mcp.riskos.socure.com/sandbox` reads docs, workflows and webhooks with its own MCP Server Key. It cannot run evaluations or read results.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Persona or Socure RiskOS?\n\nPersona scores 69.5 (B) on agent readiness against Socure RiskOS's 63.5 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
