Match the choice to your scale and existing tooling."

 Equally important: build a shared observability layer so both types of automation are visible in one place.

 Catalog totals require careful interpretation. One integration may expose dozens of actions, such as creating a Salesforce record or sending a Slack message. A first-party block, app connector, and individual tool action therefore represent different units. Coding agents suit work performed through editors, repositories, terminals, and test runners. Workflow agents suit processes that must read or change data across several business systems.
