Zoho Books has a documented REST API and sandbox environment, which aids agent integration, but lacks an MCP server and llms.txt file for direct discoverability. Account creation requires human intervention through the web interface (no programmatic signup API), limiting autonomous agent onboarding. The API is reasonably structured for accounting operations (invoices, customers, expenses), but OAuth2-only enforcement means agents need pre-provisioned credentials. Strengths include a free tier, sandbox access, and stable Zoho infrastructure; main weakness is the friction required for initial setup and lack of modern agent-native formats.
