Agent-hostile
3.0 /5 composite score
C1 3/5 reflects published enterprise and Boon Agent pricing but only partial public visibility into the Starter Pack table, C5 4/5 reflects the named Slack, Teams, Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BuildingConnected, Destini Estimator, and ProEst surfaces, and RF2 remains attached because no public API, CLI, MCP, webhook, or scripting surface is documented.
