AI agents on the Scalekit network make more than a million tool calls a month against real business systems, and most of those calls belong to multi-step jobs. This first edition shows where that work happens and which apps agents are adopting fastest.

multi-step jobs
Each call is an agent using a real app on someone’s behalf, such as reading a pipeline or filing a ticket.

Most of it is pipeline reads, deal updates, lead enrichment and ticket triage.
tool calls a month in sales, marketing and support
An agent usually reads what the job needs and writes once at the end, for example a CRM record or a sent message. Writes should grow as teams let agents act without a human sign-off.
records created, updated or sent every month
A typical job reads a ticket, pulls the account from the CRM, checks the docs and posts an update. Most of these chains repeat a job the agent has run before.

These are the clients that will connect to your agent or MCP server once it’s live.
What it meansClaude clients open 40%+ of new connections, and in-house agents open 25%+. A lot of teams build their own agents as well as using Claude or ChatGPT.
What it meansGTM and productivity each take 25%+ of calls. People Ops is small for now, but it’s growing fast.
Every app on this list saw agent calls grow by at least 30%. If you’re deciding what to connect next, this is a good place to start.
What it meansMeeting-notes tools and newer CRMs grew fastest. Granola, Fathom and Attio each more than doubled their agent calls.
Every call is one of five things: a read, a create, an update, a delete or a run.
Create means a new record or a sent message. Execute means running a job, sync or enrichment that doesn’t change a record directly.
What it meansAbout 6% of calls are writes, and half of those create something new, such as a record or a message. GTM writes back most, at about 9% of its calls. Many writes still need a person to approve them, so this share should grow as more agents reach production.
What it means20%+ of jobs run six or more calls across apps. Most are repeats of a job the agent has run before.

What it meansMost of these jobs pair the app where the record lives with one specialist tool, like a CRM with an enrichment app.
Agents do not browse. They arrive with a job, read everything the job needs, and write once at the end.Agents on the Clock · September 2026
This report is built from aggregate call counts. We never read the contents of a call, so no payloads, prompts or customer data are included. All figures come from a sample of September 2026 traffic and are rounded down. Monthly totals are a 30-day run rate, and growth and pairing figures will be refined as more data comes in.
Every call runs with the end user’s own access, so your agent acts as the person who asked.
