No public price, trial or self-serve signup. Access starts with a demo request.\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### Glean\n\n1. Get the backend host from the Glean admin. APIs answer at https://\u003cinstance\u003e-be.glean.com and MCP at that host under /mcp/\u003cserver-name\u003e\n2. Ask for a user-scoped token with only the scopes the task needs. A global token can impersonate whoever `X-Glean-ActAs` names\n3. Keep chat under 0.5 calls a second and search under 5, and back off on 429\n4. Call the Platform API's `/api/search` for typed filters, `page_size` up to 100 and problem+json errors\n5. Send `X-Glean-Exclude-Deprecated-After` in tests to catch fields due for removal\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, Glean or Hexis Cloud?\n\nGlean scores 69.8 (B) on agent readiness against Hexis Cloud's 55.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
