Reviewer Notes

Fastly offers a solid REST API with OpenAPI documentation and a free tier suitable for agent exploration. However, account creation requires email verification and manual activation, preventing fully autonomous signup. The API is well-structured with good error responses, but the tool lacks an MCP server and llms.txt for easier discovery. Pricing is straightforward but metered usage requires upfront credit card entry, creating a minor friction point for sandboxed agents.
