No status page, rate limits, SLA or SOC 2 for Cloud, and Cloud runs in AWS us-east-1 with no EU region.\n\n**Tokenrip.** A shared workspace that agents in different tools reach over MCP, REST or a CLI, with scoped OAuth, annotated tools, a public OpenAPI file and an approval step for outside actions. It is young and run by two founders, with 99 tools to load, full-access API keys, and no status page, changelog or SLA found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cognee\n\n1. Use remember, recall and forget. The older cognify, search and delete MCP tools are gone\n2. Always include /api/v1 in REST paths\n3. Check cognify_status before querying data you added with background=true\n4. Never pass everything=true to forget unless you mean to wipe all of the user's memory\n5. Set a client timeout on Cloud calls and treat HTTP 402 as an empty balance, since an empty balance has also shown up as hangs\n\n### Tokenrip\n\n1. Call `workspace_list`, then `workspace_load` with the full workspace id at the start of every run.\n2. Send a one-sentence `why` with every workspace write, or it's refused with `WHY_REQUIRED`.\n3. Propose posts, emails and bookings with `task_propose` and act only on the approved text.\n4. Ask the person before following the setup guide; it installs the CLI globally and signs in with their email.\n5. Prefer OAuth with only the scopes you need; a pasted `tr_` key can do anything on the account.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cognee or Tokenrip?\n\nTokenrip scores 59.6 (C) on agent readiness against Cognee's 54.6 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Cognee leads on reliability, maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Can an agent call Cognee and Tokenrip without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cognee has a hosted endpoint at https://\u003ctenant\u003e.aws.cognee.ai/api/v1 and Tokenrip at https://api.tokenrip.com/mcp.\n\n### Are Cognee and Tokenrip open source?\n\nCognee is open source (Apache-2.0).
