API calls that run agents draw only on a paid workspace credit pool, and the terms of service could not be read.\n\n**Hexis Cloud.** Agents reach a git-backed knowledge base, shared skills and connected tools through one OAuth MCP endpoint that applies each person's per-file permissions, with read-only connections and an audit log of tool calls. The hosted edition dates from 11 October 2026, and its own terms state no backups, no uptime commitment and no security certification.\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### Hexis Cloud\n\n1. Ask the person for a read-only connection when the task only reads. It answers canWrite false everywhere\n2. Pass the branch you are working on to every knowledge-base tool. Calls without a required branch are refused\n3. Check canWrite from list_files, read_file or get_skill before writing, and open a change request when it is false\n4. Use list_tools and tools_info before call_tool_chain, and never ask the person for a tool's secret in chat\n5. Keep your own copy of anything important. Hexis Cloud keeps no backups of Managed repositories\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Dust or Hexis Cloud?\n\nDust scores 62.8 (B) on agent readiness against Hexis Cloud's 55.3 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Hexis Cloud leads on schema \u0026 documentation, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Dust and Hexis Cloud need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Dust and Hexis Cloud without installing anything?\n\nYes. Dust has a hosted endpoint at https://dust.tt/mcp and Hexis Cloud at https://\u003cworkspace\u003e.hexis.software/api/mcp.\n\n### Are Dust and Hexis Cloud open source?\n\nYes. Dust 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`). Hexis Cloud is open source (Apache-2.0 (the Hexis software). Hexis Cloud, the hosted service at hexis.software, is governed by Bevel's Terms of Service of 11 October 2026).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dust-vs-hexis.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dust-vs-hexis.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"dust\", \"b\": \"hexis\"}`.
