  • Agent ergonomics, 57 against 44
  • Security & auth, 64 against 54

The terms and security page state no backups, no SLA, no penetration test, no certification and no MFA of its own

Secoda E

Best 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.

Ahead on

  • Reliability, 40 against 18

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

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.

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

Hexis Cloud

  1. Ask the person for a read-only connection when the task only reads. It answers canWrite false everywhere
  2. Pass the branch you are working on to every knowledge-base tool. Calls without a required branch are refused
  3. Check canWrite from list_files, read_file or get_skill before writing, and open a change request when it is false
  4. Use list_tools and tools_info before call_tool_chain, and never ask the person for a tool's secret in chat
  5. Keep your own copy of anything important. Hexis Cloud keeps no backups of Managed repositories

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
