Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Stopped at signup: L1 · Needs a person. Taskade's sign-up is a web form guarded by a visible Cloudflare Turnstile widget, so our agent never got an account. Everything past that stayed out of reach: personal access tokens are made only in the web UI, the documented API base is disallowed for crawling, and the hosted MCP server needs a paid workspace. The docs hold up well: llms.txt indexes the docs and every docs page ships as Markdown. Paying and cancelling were never reached since no account existed.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Gets in on its own nowhere yet: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent stopped at signup, where the email form at app.todoist.com runs an invisible Cloudflare Turnstile that rejected our agent's browser, with no visible challenge shown and no Google, Facebook or Apple account on hand. Dynamic client registration worked headless, but every token path still needed a logged-in account, so no key, call or work followed. Paying and cancelling both end in a hosted Stripe page per the docs, untested, and deletion has no documented route. The API, CLI and official MCP server stand ready once a person signs up and hands over a key.

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.
