Integration checklist
- Access: confirm the api key authentication flow, credential scope, rotation process, and whether calls can be attributed to a user or service identity.
- Client support: official or documented clients are listed for typescript, python.
- Automation: OpenAPI is not currently recorded, MCP is not currently recorded, and CLI support is listed as available. Confirm each requirement in the provider's current documentation.
- Operations: test rate limits, timeouts, retry safety, error payloads, logs, data retention, and the current free-tier and paid pricing model with production-like volume.
