See what an agent can do with Decagon 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 45 stories with headroom

What would move Decagon’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 productConnect an agent via an official MCP server

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    Decagon's MCP blog post (decagon-docs-3) discusses using MCP to curate/scope tool access for its own agents (i.e., Decagon as an MCP client consuming external tools), not exposing an official MCP server that lets an external AI agent connect into Decagon.

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

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    No evidence of a documented public API; the openapi probe returned 404s across all candidate paths and no docs reference an API reference, SDK, or programmatic endpoint.

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

    partialq3/10moves agent-readyimpact 31.5

    Missing: technical setup docs for adding an MCP server, list of supported MCP servers/tools, hands-on or independent verification that agents actually invoke MCP tools.

  4. Escalation handoff — stories about escalation handoff in this arenaWhen the agent escalates, the human gets the full conversation, a summary, and collected details — the customer never repeats themselves

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    The evidence pack contains no mention of escalation-to-human handoff, conversation summaries handed to agents, or collected-details transfer preventing repetition.

  5. Knowledge grounding — stories about knowledge grounding in this arenaEvery answer is grounded in my own content and shows which article or source it drew from

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Missing: any documentation of inline citations, source attribution UI, or 'view source' feature in chat/voice/email responses.

  6. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Decagon's evidence pack contains no documented data-export feature, open-format export tooling, or account-deletion/portability workflow; the only tangential mention ("data portability and control" in decagon-docs-28) is vague marketing language about maintaining conversation context, not a concrete export/exit mechanism, and the probe shows no public API/OpenAPI spec that could support programmatic data extraction.

  7. Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    No evidence in the pack addresses data usage for AI model training or an opt-out/no-training policy; the security page covers JWT tokens and SSO but not training data practices.

  8. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productRun the product headlessly / in CI for automation

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    Missing: any CLI/SDK for headless execution, CI-pipeline integration docs, or public API reference enabling automation.
