The hosted edition dates from 11 October 2026, and its own terms state no backups, no uptime commitment and no security certification.\n\n**OpenMetadata.** MCP built into every instance at /mcp and on by default since 2.0, with nothing extra to install. The 16 default tools take about 50,000 characters of definitions, 12,285 of them for search_metadata alone.\n\n## Before you call either\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### OpenMetadata\n\n1. Set `entityType` for data-quality questions. testCase and testSuite are outside the default search scope\n2. Match a table's tests on `originEntityFQN`, not `entityFQN`. Column-level tests store the column's FQN there\n3. Read several known entities in one `search_metadata` call with a `terms` clause on `fullyQualifiedName` plus `fields`\n4. Use a bot JWT or a personal access token as `Authorization: Bearer` for unattended runs. OAuth needs a browser sign-in\n5. Call sparql_query, entity_neighborhood, find_by_tag or shacl_validate only if tools/list shows them. They appear only when the operator enabled RDF\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hexis Cloud or OpenMetadata?\n\nOpenMetadata scores 66.6 (B) on agent readiness against Hexis Cloud's 55.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Hexis Cloud leads on payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Can an agent call Hexis Cloud and OpenMetadata without installing anything?\n\nHexis Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://\u003cworkspace\u003e.hexis.software/api/mcp. No hosted endpoint is listed for OpenMetadata.\n\n### Are Hexis Cloud and OpenMetadata open source?\n\nYes. 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). OpenMetadata is open source (Apache-2.0 for the platform. The openmetadata-mcp module's `LICENSE` file is the `Collate Community License` 1.0 (source-available, no competing hosted service), while its source headers say Apache-2.0.
