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### Secoda\n\n1. 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`\n2. Keep writes under 30 PUT, PATCH or POST calls a minute on entity endpoints, and back off on a 429\n3. 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\n4. Send at most 100 entities to `/api/v1/resource/all/bulk_update/` in one request\n5. Add a trailing slash when an endpoint does not behave as expected, as the docs advise\n6. 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\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Glean or Secoda?\n\nGlean scores 69.8 (B) on agent readiness against Secoda's 44.5 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Glean and Secoda need an API key?\n\nGlean takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Secoda needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Glean and Secoda without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Glean. Secoda runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/glean-vs-secoda.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/glean-vs-secoda.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"glean\", \"b\": \"secoda\"}`.
