Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person, L1 · Needs a person, before any work starts. Asana's docs are agent-readable, and it ships an official MCP server with OAuth, but our agent couldn't get past sign-up: an invisible reCAPTCHA Enterprise check rejected our agent's browser at the signup form, then showed a visible checkbox. No account, no verification, no key, so our agent never reached a call. Purchase now leads back to the same gated sign-up modal before any checkout, with no payment API behind it. Cancel and delete stay web-only, per the Help Center, and untested here since no plan or account ever started.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person. Sign-up stops at the account form: after passing an invisible reCAPTCHA, it asks for a phone number our agent did not have, and no human supplied one. The account was never created. With no account, the key page, the official MCP server and the Swagger-documented endpoints stayed out of reach. Our agent got only an unauthenticated 401 from the API and from MCP's tools list, and no work was attempted. The pricing page lists a trial without a card and payment by card or bank transfer, but checkout sits behind the same sign-up form: our agent never reached it, and never had an account to cancel or delete.

A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
