The 21 October AI Employees and Context Graphs are in preview for existing customers only, and their REST and MCP access isn't documented, so an outside agent can reach the automation platform but not the new parts.\n\n**Motive Agents.** Agents let Motive fleet admins turn safety, maintenance and idling events into alerts, training, work orders and in-cab calls from the Fleet Dashboard, on a platform with a 99.99 per cent dashboard SLA and audited security reports. No API, webhook or MCP tool covers Agents, so an outside agent can't create, run or read them.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kognitos\n\n1. Don't plan on Context Graph or AI Employee calls. Neither the MCP tool list nor the OpenAPI file has them, and both are customer preview only\n2. Call `GET /me/organizations` and then list workspaces first, since nearly every path needs `organization_id` and `workspace_id`\n3. Invoke with `stage: AUTOMATION_STAGE_PUBLISHED` for production and `AUTOMATION_STAGE_DRAFT` to test, then poll the run until it leaves `pending` or `running`\n4. Treat a `waiting` run as a question for a person. Answer it through the exception tools or ask the owner, rather than retrying\n5. Use OAuth with callback port 3777 for the MCP server. Another port can fail with a callback URL mismatch\n\n### Motive Agents\n\n1. Don't plan to call Motive Agents. They're built and run by people in the Motive Fleet Dashboard\n2. For Motive fleet data, use Motive's Public API or its MCP server instead, with the customer's admin authorisation\n3. Ask the fleet's Motive admin to set up or change an Agent, and describe the trigger, condition and action you need\n4. Expect Agents to place real calls to drivers and mark vehicles out of service, so confirm with the fleet manager before suggesting one\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kognitos or Motive Agents?\n\nKognitos scores 57 (C) on agent readiness against Motive Agents's 24.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call Kognitos and Motive Agents without installing anything?\n\nKognitos has a hosted endpoint at https://app.us-1.kognitos.com/api/v1. No hosted endpoint is listed for Motive Agents.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kognitos-vs-motive-agents.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kognitos-vs-motive-agents.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"kognitos\", \"b\": \"motive-agents\"}`.
