See what an agent can do with Graphite before you ever sign up. Pick a story: recorded sessions replay real probe-harness transcripts; commands tagged live-capable can re-run against the real endpoint from our edge, right now (▶ run live — the exact same request, live and recorded lines always labeled); sandboxed self-drive sessions are designed and gated (docs/TRY-IT.md).

Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 43 stories with headroom

What would move Graphite’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.

  1. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    Evidence shows Graphite ships its own 'GT MCP' server so that external AI agents can call Graphite's tools (graphite-docs-30, graphite-probe-4), which is the reverse direction of the story — Graphite acting as an MCP server, not as a client that lets users plug external MCP servers into Graphite's own agents/chat.

  2. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesSelf-host the core product

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Graphite is a cloud SaaS product (CLI + hosted review/merge queue service) with no evidence of a self-hostable server/core; docs describe hosted authentication via GitHub App, cloud-based AI review, and pricing tiers, none of which mention on-prem or self-hosted deployment options.

  3. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    Missing: scoped/least-privilege credential issuance mechanism, token/permission granularity controls, any documentation of credential scoping for agents.

  4. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    The only webhook-related evidence describes Graphite *receiving* GitHub webhooks for CI/mergeability updates (graphite-docs-24), not Graphite exposing its own webhook subscription system for external/AI-native consumers to receive events.

  5. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productExplore an interactive API reference with runnable examples

    nonemoves API qualityimpact 30

    No evidence of an interactive API reference or runnable examples; OpenAPI/swagger probes returned 404 and no such documentation is mentioned anywhere in the pack.

  6. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productDownload a machine-readable API spec (OpenAPI or equivalent)

    nonemoves API qualityimpact 30

    Probe explicitly found no OpenAPI/swagger spec at any standard path and no llms.txt, and no documentation references a machine-readable API spec download; only an MCP server and CLI are documented.

  7. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productRely on versioned APIs with a documented deprecation policy

    nonemoves API qualityimpact 30

    No evidence of any versioned API, API changelog, or documented deprecation policy — OpenAPI probes return 404 and no docs reference API versioning or deprecation practices.

  8. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productDrive the product through a documented public API

    partialq5/10moves agent-readyimpact 22.5

    Missing: a documented general-purpose public API (REST/GraphQL) with endpoint reference, authentication scopes, and independent/hands-on corroboration of programmatic API usage beyond CLI/MCP.
