API calls that run agents draw only on a paid workspace credit pool, and the terms of service could not be read.\n\n**Gemini Enterprise.** The assistant is callable through a GA v1 method with a 99.5 per cent SLA, OAuth through IAM, a public Discovery document and optional Model Armor screening. Seat prices weren't found on Google's pages, onboarding needs a billing account and a person, and some Gemini agent capabilities announced on 8 October are early access.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Dust\n\n1. Use `https://eu.dust.tt` for a workspace in the EU region and `https://dust.tt` otherwise, for both the API and the MCP server\n2. Connect an MCP client by OAuth and send the `resource` parameter in authorisation and token requests. API keys do not work on the MCP server\n3. Expect HTTP 429 with type `rate_limit_error` when the credit pool, the programmatic monthly cap or the key's spend cap is exhausted. Retrying will not help\n4. Call `GET /api/v1/w/{wId}/search` with `limit` (1 to 100, default 25) and `cursor`, or a data source view's search with `top_k`\n5. Keep document upserts under 120 a minute per workspace\n\n### Gemini Enterprise\n\n1. Create a Gemini Enterprise app first. StreamAssist needs its APP_ID, and the caller needs `discoveryengine.assistants.assist`\n2. Send `X-Goog-User-Project` with your project ID when calling with Application Default Credentials\n3. Pass the `session` name from the final stream message on the next call to keep context. Leaving it empty starts a new session\n4. Read `connectorAuthErrors` in the response. A connector that failed sign-in is skipped and the answer comes from the rest\n5. Use the A2A URL returned by Agent Registry verbatim. It takes the project number, not the project ID\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Dust or Gemini Enterprise?\n\nGemini Enterprise scores 68.1 (B) on agent readiness against Dust's 62.8 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Dust leads on agent ergonomics, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Dust and Gemini Enterprise need an API key?\n\nDust takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Gemini Enterprise uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Dust and Gemini Enterprise without installing anything?\n\nDust has a hosted endpoint at https://dust.tt/mcp. No hosted endpoint is listed for Gemini Enterprise.\n\n### Are Dust and Gemini Enterprise open source?\n\nDust is open source (MIT for the platform's source at github.com/dust-tt/dust. The hosted service is sold under Dust's own terms. The npm page gives ISC for `@dust-tt/client` and MIT for `@dust-tt/dust-cli`).
