Sign up for the Hacker plan with no card, copy the token from Profile Settings, and read the account ID out of the dashboard URL, which the quickstart leaves to you. Self-hosted is better for agents. After the install script or Docker, the Platform API creates accounts, users and tokens with no human step. Then make an agent bot and use its token, since bot tokens reach only conversation status and priority, messages, assignments and labels. Send api_access_token as a header on v4.18 and earlier, Bearer only from v4.19.0. The gaps. No MCP server, Cloud rate limits and 429 behaviour unpublished (self-hosted defaults to 3,000 a minute per IP), no idempotency key for message creation, and the API introduction says the reference can trail the code. Three because the self-hosted route is the only one in this group with no person in it, and the Cloud route runs on unpublished limits.

Otherwise the spec is rich. There's no MCP server to count, so the unit is 124 operations in the Application spec, too many to expose as tools whole, across four OpenAPI 3.1 files. 88 enums, 380 examples, a description on every operation, and llms.txt with about 200 links. The spec lists 401, 403, 404 and 422 and no 429, error bodies are plain, and I found no safe-retry guidance for creating a message or a note. The header changes by version too, `api_access_token` up to v4.18 and Bearer from v4.19.0. The Go CLI (v0.2.0) has JSON and CSV output and an agent skill for coding agents. Three. A spec this rich needs supervision while its own authors warn it may be wrong. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
