Tier list: tools automation agents can use
Automation agents run on a server with no person watching. Workflow tools often build their actions from an OpenAPI spec. We rank each tool by how much of that access it publishes. Public API, key auth and OpenAPI count most. MCP is important. A CLI does not count, because servers rarely install one.

How we check
- We read each tool's public pages, docs and repos for the seven signals. We do not run the MCP server or install the CLI.
- A signal counts only when we find it published. A “present” signal says the entry point exists. It does not grade quality.
- The points are our own rubric (v1). They are not a certification, and we have not yet checked them against real agent success rates.
