  "finding": "Notion's Custom Agents API, in public beta at the time of this probe, refuses an unauthenticated caller with a 401 and a JSON error naming the header format it wants. It carries no www-authenticate challenge, so a client cannot discover an authorization server from the refusal the way it can from the MCP endpoint two hosts over; the vendor's quickstart says a personal access token or an internal connection's installation token is required, and that the API works only with Custom Agents that already exist in the workspace. This is the newest agent-facing surface this vendor publishes and it is credential-gated like the rest.",
