“Composio powers 1000+ toolkits, tool search, context management, authentication, and a sandboxed workbench to help you build AI agents that turn intent into action.” — the vendor’s own words

The best tool-calling layer on the market and the one that got breached: 1,000+ toolkits behind managed auth for $0 up to 100K calls a month, from a vendor that lost 5,001 GitHub tokens and 5,241 API keys in May and had three published incidents in 2026.

Best for: Developers and small teams who want an agent taking real actions in real SaaS without writing OAuth flows — the free tier makes that a genuinely zero-cost experiment, and the MIT SDKs mean the code you write is not the thing you are locked into. Also a strong fit for anyone standing up an MCP gateway across a team, where the alternative is a dozen separately-authenticated servers. Think much harder if the connected accounts carry code, customer data or money. The May breach was an OAuth token pivot into an internal agentic tool, and if you are handing over GitHub grants with write scope you are accepting Composio's internal blast radius as your own. If you go ahead in that situation, scope tokens narrowly, use your own OAuth app rather than the Composio-managed one, budget for the KMS proxy, and have a rotation runbook you have actually tested — because in May, customers needed one within 48 hours.

Two things to watch. First, this pricing is one week old: it took effect for signups on or after 15 August 2026, existing customers stay on their old plan through 31 December 2026, and premium tool calls start billing for everyone from 1 September 2026. Third-party review sites still quote the old $229 Serious Business tier, which no longer exists — check composio.dev/pricing, not an aggregator. Second, the sticker price is not the whole price. A tool call that runs in the sandbox, executes outside a session, goes through proxy-execute or uses a shared connection each carries its own small add-on, and the two controls a European buyer is most likely to need — a DPA and zero data retention — are a fixed €460 a month and a per-call meter respectively. Free is genuinely free and genuinely hard-capped, which is rare and worth crediting.

Strengths

On capability Composio is the best thing in its category. Over 1,000 toolkits with typed schemas, managed OAuth with automatic refresh scoped per end user, triggers, retries and rate-limit handling — the whole grinding middle layer between an agent and a real business system, handled. The session model is the genuinely clever part: rather than dumping hundreds of tool definitions into the context window, the agent gets four meta tools and discovers what it needs at runtime, and bulk responses go to a session-scoped sandbox instead of into the prompt. That is a context-engineering answer, not just an integration catalog, and it is why the Cx and Fc scores are where they are. Protocol support is the other standout: every session exposes a hosted MCP endpoint with one flag, the MCP Gateway returns only task-relevant tools with auth and audit layered on routing, and there are first-party paths for Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and Hermes. The SDKs are MIT, cover TypeScript and Python, and adapt to fourteen agent frameworks, so the lock-in surface is the hosted service rather than your code. And the new free tier is real: 100K tool calls a month, hard-capped, no card, usage pauses rather than bills. For a European SMB testing whether an agent can actually do work in Gmail and Slack, that is a €0 experiment with a known ceiling.

Honest dings

Composio holds your users' OAuth grants, which makes its own security posture part of your threat model, and 2026 has not gone well. Three published incidents: February 9, then April 28–30, then May 21. The April incident is instructive on its own — a background cleaner job had been silently failing since around April 6, the table it was meant to prune grew until it degraded the whole platform database, webhook triggers for Slack, Outlook, Notion and HubSpot were down for roughly 36 hours affecting about 700 customers, and events that arrived during the outage were not queued and are not recoverable. The May breach is the serious one. An attacker compromised a Composio employee's Gmail OAuth token, used inbox access to intercept magic-link sign-in emails, reached an internal agentic monitoring tool, escalated through the automated remediation system, registered malicious tool definitions and reached arbitrary code execution in the tool-execution sandbox. Composio's own disclosure puts the leaked connections at 0.3% of the total — but that 0.3% is 5,001 GitHub OAuth grants, alongside 5,241 API keys assessed as likely exposed and revoked. All API keys created before 22 May 2026 were revoked, every customer was told to rotate, and for API-key-type connections Composio could not revoke on the customer's behalf, so end users had to go to each provider themselves. To Composio's credit the disclosure is unusually detailed, including indicators of compromise and an honest account of the remediation, and the April post-mortem admits the communication failure plainly. But the structural lesson stands and outside analysts made it: internal automation held standing authority over customer secrets, and the platform's own trusted workflows carried the breach forward. Beyond security, three gaps. Evaluation is absent — you cannot measure or gate on your own tool reliability. Log retention is 7 days free and 30 days on Pro, which is short for auditing an agent that acts on your behalf. And the controls that make this safe for regulated work sit behind paid add-ons or Enterprise: KMS proxy is Enterprise-only, and a DPA costs a fixed €460 a month on top of a €27 plan.
