It has no API, MCP server or documented command for another agent, it is five days old, and it rebuilds itself from the main branch every six hours by default.\n\n**CowAgent.** MIT software with seven releases in 90 days, memory kept as plain files in the owner's workspace and three per-session permission modes. Source and Docker installs default to full-access, no action asks for approval, and an open report of 31 July 2026 says group members could reach the owner's files through the bot.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Atticus\n\n1. Don't plan to call Atticus from another agent. It takes requests only from its own shortcut and typing box\n2. If a user runs Atticus beside you, expect it to move windows and type into apps on the same Mac\n3. Point a user who wants pinned versions to Settings \u003e About \u0026 Updates to turn off self-update\n\n### CowAgent\n\n1. Set `agent_permission_mode` to `workspace-write` or `read-only` before connecting any channel. Source and Docker installs default to `full-access`\n2. Keep the bot out of group chats that include other people. Any member who mentions it reaches the same tools as the owner\n3. Set `web_password` before changing `web_host` to `0.0.0.0`. The password is empty by default\n4. Set `external_api_token` to enable `POST /v1/chat/completions`, and send `conversation_id` to keep one session. The `model` field does not select a model\n5. Run it in a container for a hard boundary. The docs and the source both say the permission modes are not isolation\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Atticus or CowAgent?\n\nCowAgent scores 58.5 (C) on agent readiness against Atticus's 42.9 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Atticus leads on security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are Atticus and CowAgent open source?\n\nYes. Atticus is open source (MIT). CowAgent is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/atticus-vs-cowagent.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/atticus-vs-cowagent.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"atticus\", \"b\": \"cowagent\"}`.
