See what an agent can do with Missive 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); the live MCP handshake runs real requests from our edge, right now — including, where the server allows it, one real read-only tool call (bring your own key for auth-gated servers); 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 46 stories with headroom
What would move Missive’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.
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
The evidence pack shows a REST API, webhooks, and MCP integrations for connecting external tools, but nothing documents a bulk data-export feature or open-format (mbox/CSV/JSON) export enabling a user to fully extract their mail, contacts, and conversation history and leave the platform.
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesSelf-host the core product
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missive is a cloud-hosted SaaS collaboration/email product; evidence shows data routes through Missive's own servers (missive-comm-1) and no docs mention any self-hosting/on-prem deployment option anywhere in the extensive feature/pricing/docs pack.
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 any AI-training opt-out, data-usage policy for AI model training, or privacy controls specific to preventing training on user data.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPoint an agent at llms.txt or agent-oriented docs
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Direct probes show no llms.txt, no docs.md, and no OpenAPI spec exposed at expected locations (all 404), and no evidence of agent-oriented documentation formats being offered elsewhere; while Missive has an MCP server (a different axis), there's no proof an agent can be pointed at llms.txt or similar agent-readable docs.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Missive is an email/collaboration app offering REST API, webhooks, and MCP integrations, but no evidence anywhere in the pack mentions an official CLI tool for interacting with Missive.

Missive documents a REST API and developer tools, but there is no evidence of an interactive API reference or runnable examples; explicit probes for openapi/swagger specs all returned 404s, indicating no interactive API explorer exists.
