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**Prismatic.** The GraphQL API covers 120 queries and 124 mutations with typed inputs, cursor pagination and Markdown documentation, and tokens follow seven user roles. No price is published, paid use runs under an agreement that is not public, and no API rate limit or idempotency key was found in the reviewed documentation.\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### Prismatic\n\n1. Have a person run `prism login` once, then store the output of `prism me:token --type refresh` as `PRISM_REFRESH_TOKEN`. Access tokens last 7 days\n2. Read the `errors` array on every mutation. A failed mutation still returns HTTP 200\n3. Pass `sortBy` with `CREATED_AT` when paging. Without a sort order pages can repeat or skip records\n4. Use the regional host for the tenant, such as `app.eu-west-1.prismatic.io` and `mcp.eu-west-1.prismatic.io`\n5. Create a guest user for a read-only agent, because tokens have no scopes of their own\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kognitos or Prismatic?\n\nPrismatic scores 59.1 (C) on agent readiness against Kognitos's 57 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Kognitos leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Kognitos and Prismatic need an API key?\n\nKognitos takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Prismatic uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Kognitos and Prismatic without installing anything?\n\nYes.
