Before you call either

Synthflow API + MCP

  1. Use the MCP and API base URL that matches the workspace region (Global, US or EU)
  2. Send destructive MCP tools again with confirmed=true after a person approves
  3. Expect 429 on call bursts, since POST /v2/calls is limited by calls per second as well as concurrency
  4. Read the transfer failure reason on a failed transfer before retrying it

Vogent API

  1. Send an idempotencyKey on POST /dials, a reused key returns 409
  2. Create a call with callAgentId, plus toNumber and fromNumberId for phone calls
  3. Tell the model when to emit <|transfer|>, since transfers fire on that tag
  4. Verify webhooks with the HMAC in X-Elto-Signature
  5. Expect new dials to fail at the workspace's concurrent dial limit until calls end

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
