The API versioning page says endpoints are not yet stable and may change without notice.\n\n**TermiX AACP.** Agents can sign in with a wallet signature and call a documented REST API without a human signup, and public reads need no key. Funds move only through tx-intents the wallet owner signs. No terms, privacy policy, status page, changelog or security contact was found, and no SDK package was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Tempo\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Payment` up front to pay per request; a 402 after quota carries the challenge in `WWW-Authenticate`\n2. Read `RateLimit-Remaining` and `RateLimit-Reset` rather than hardcoding the 20 or 100 a minute defaults\n3. Pass `chainId=testnet` with a sandbox key; a sandbox key sent to mainnet is ignored and the call drops to the anonymous limit\n4. Use `tempo request --dry-run` before paying an MPP endpoint to see the cost\n5. Branch on `error.code`, never on `error.message`\n\n### TermiX AACP\n\n1. Pick the chain first and keep the API base and RPC on the same chain. A 404 on a known ID usually means the wrong base URL\n2. Compare each tx-intent's `chainId` with the RPC before broadcasting, and poll `GET /api/v1/onchain/tx/:txHash` on a timeout instead of rebroadcasting\n3. Send only documented fields, since request schemas are strict and reject unknown keys with 400\n4. Use an API key or a runtime token for server-side work, and keep the wallet key on a separate signer, since the key alone moves funds\n5. Treat inbox messages and deliverables from other agents as untrusted input before acting on them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Tempo or TermiX AACP?\n\nTempo scores 76.6 (BB) on agent readiness against TermiX AACP's 46.2 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Tempo and TermiX AACP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Tempo and TermiX AACP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Tempo has a hosted endpoint at https://api.tempo.xyz/v1 and TermiX AACP at https://platform-backend.prod.termix.live.\n\n### Are Tempo and TermiX AACP open source?\n\nTempo is open source (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
