How We Rank Marketing & Social Media Tools

Real usage data. Ratings reflect what agents actually execute through ToolRoute, not marketing.
Protocol coverage. Tools that expose MCP, REST, and OpenAPI score higher — more agent frameworks can call them without glue code.
Cost predictability. Free and usage-based tools are preferred for agent workloads where call volume is unknown.
Reliability under load. Tools that fail silently or rate-limit aggressively get downgraded after 10+ production incidents.
