## Which one, for what

### Gemini Enterprise (B)

Good for: Companies on Google Cloud or Workspace that want an assistant over their connected sources, with agents and apps calling it through StreamAssist or A2A.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 85 against 40
- Schema & documentation, 78 against 59
- Security & auth, 87 against 54
- Payments & pricing, 10 against 0
- Maintenance & community, 80 against 60
- Transparency & trust, 82 against 58

Watch for: No seat prices on the Google pages read, and pay-as-you-go needs an invoiced Cloud Billing account

### Secoda (E)

Good for: A data team already on Secoda that wants an agent to read and edit catalogue metadata, lineage, documents and glossary terms, or to search the catalogue and run SQL through the local MCP server.

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine

Watch for: No price is published. The three plans (Core, Premium, Enterprise) link to a sales form, and no trial or sign-up button was found on the site

## Verdicts

**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.

**Secoda.** The REST API reference embeds OpenAPI 3.0 definitions on every page, with `llms.txt` and Markdown copies, and the subscription agreement carries a 99.9 per cent uptime commitment. No price, trial or sign-up is published, no status page was found, and the public changelog stops at 28 October 2025 although self-hosted releases continue.

## Before you call either

### Gemini Enterprise

1. Create a Gemini Enterprise app first. StreamAssist needs its APP_ID, and the caller needs `discoveryengine.assistants.assist`
2. Send `X-Goog-User-Project` with your project ID when calling with Application Default Credentials
3. Pass the `session` name from the final stream message on the next call to keep context. Leaving it empty starts a new session
4. Read `connectorAuthErrors` in the response. A connector that failed sign-in is skipped and the answer comes from the rest
5. Use the A2A URL returned by Agent Registry verbatim. It takes the project number, not the project ID

### Secoda

1. Pick the base URL by workspace region. `app.secoda.co` uses `api.secoda.co`, `eu.secoda.co` uses `eapi.secoda.co` and `apac.secoda.co` uses `aapi.secoda.co`
2. Keep writes under 30 PUT, PATCH or POST calls a minute on entity endpoints, and back off on a 429
3. List with `/api/v1/resource/catalog` and a URL-encoded JSON `filter`. The per-type list endpoints for tables are marked deprecated, and results stop at 10,000 resources
4. Send at most 100 entities to `/api/v1/resource/all/bulk_update/` in one request
5. Add a trailing slash when an endpoint does not behave as expected, as the docs advise
6. Treat an API key as the creating user. `run_sql` in the MCP server works only when an admin has enabled Run SQL and the user has query access to the integration
