No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [retool.com](https://retool.com) · entry id 06-retool · source 06-revops-infra.md line 391 **What it does** A low-code platform for building internal tools/dashboards/admin panels on top of databases and APIs; in a GTM context, used to build custom RevOps tooling - lead-routing consoles, deal-desk approval apps, data-correction UIs - on top of the warehouse/CRM. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Real natural-language app-building ("prompt full-stack apps on your live production data," context-aware @mention editing), AI Workflows (chains AI calls with data/business logic, one-click RAG), and "AI Agents" framed as production-ready automations with audit trails - more than a chat-copilot bolt-on, but claims like "AI Agents handle customer support" should be read as marketing framing until seen in practice. **RevOps role** The app layer for RevOps - builds custom internal UIs on top of the warehouse/CRM for workflows off-the-shelf tools don't cover (approval flows, override consoles, ops dashboards). **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Official MCP - **Auth**: OAuth 2.0. Endpoint pattern https:///mcp over HTTP. - **Parsed URLs**: 1 found in the mcp_url field The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: official (public beta) mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://retool.com/blog/retool-mcp-server - [https://retool.com/blog/retool-mcp-server](https://retool.com/blog/retool-mcp-server) **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Free to start - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Yes, without talking to anyone api_gate, verbatim from the file: free - the Free plan is self-serve with no sales conversation (unlimited apps, 500 workflow runs/mo, up to 5 users); cheapest paid Team plan is $10/mo per builder, annual. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Query a data warehouse](../jobs/query-data-warehouse.md) - [Run an automation workflow](../jobs/run-automation-workflow.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://retool.com/pricing](https://retool.com/pricing) - [https://retool.com/products/ai](https://retool.com/products/ai) - [https://retool.com/blog/retool-mcp-server](https://retool.com/blog/retool-mcp-server) 3 source URLs. Raw sources field, verbatim: https://retool.com/pricing, https://retool.com/products/ai, https://retool.com/blog/retool-mcp-server **Notes, verbatim from the file** The MCP server manages apps/workflows/users (build/edit/deploy apps, run queries, bulk user invites, access audits, resource enumeration) - an admin/dev-ops-facing MCP rather than an end-user data MCP. Available to both cloud and self-hosted customers per the announcement. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 06-retool - **Source file**: 06-revops-infra.md - **Source line**: 391 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
