Agentic Index
Magnitude vs TectoAI (2026)
Magnitude last verified ·TectoAI last verified
Magnitude and TectoAI both deal with AI risk in the enterprise but do different jobs. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Magnitude is an autonomous AI workforce for third party risk, whose agents assess vendors, products and AI agent dependencies across the supply chain continuously instead of in periodic audits, sold through direct enterprise sales. TectoAI governs AI use inside law firms and regulated organizations, finding the tools people use, enforcing policy per client and matter in the browser and redacting sensitive data on the device. Neither has a public price. Magnitude splits the work across eight agents, from intake to continuous and Nth party monitoring, starts work when a breach disclosure or a change in terms appears, and cites its source for every decision. Choose Magnitude to assess your vendors continuously. Choose TectoAI to govern your own people's AI use.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Magnitude and TectoAI are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 1,084 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Magnitude if
- Third party and supply chain risk should be assessed continuously.
- AI agent dependencies across vendors are in scope.
- Every risk decision should cite its source and reasoning.
Choose TectoAI if
- You need AI policy enforced per client and matter.
- Sensitive data should be redacted on the device.
- Your people's own AI use is the risk to govern.

Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
MagnitudeIntegrations & Tool Calling The platform connects to the systems the team already uses, among them Jira, Slack and Zapier, and its agents act. The Vendor Envoy agent engages vendors autonomously and the Risk Remediation agent tracks issues to closure. Zipline and Mailchimp also appear among the integrations, and MCP connects the platform to a customer's Claude workflows or other AI native tools.

TectoAIIntegrations & Tool Calling Discovery analyzes the customer's SSO and access logs to find authorized and unauthorized AI tools. Enforcement runs as a browser extension across web based AI tools and assistants and as a Microsoft Word add in. These connections read AI use or sit in its path. Tecto names no connector catalog, custom tool route or action framework that lets an agent take authenticated action in an outside system, and the identity providers Discovery reads are not named.

MagnitudeWorkflow Orchestration Eight agents split the third party risk lifecycle between them, intake, autonomous assessment, continuous and Nth party monitoring, vendor engagement, risk impact decisioning and remediation, with policy driven intake and decisions. Magnitude does not show how the handoffs are configured. Intake triages each vendor by risk tier and routes decision ready vendors onward, Autonomous Assessment collects documents, analyzes controls and scores risk, and Risk Impact turns the findings into a recommendation to approve, condition or reject.

TectoAIWorkflow Orchestration The platform governs AI tools and agents that other products run. Its five products (Tecto Detector, Matter Intelligence, the AI Control Room, Discovery, and the AI Tool Library with AI Advisor) do not sequence steps, hand work between agents or run a workflow. Tecto offers no way to orchestrate agents. SourceTectoAI, catalog.tecto.airead 2026-09-25 |

MagnitudeHuman Oversight & Guardrails Intake and decisions follow the customer's policies, and analysts keep the judgment calls. Vendor Envoy escalates to a person only when human judgment is needed, and Risk Impact recommends approving, conditioning or rejecting a vendor.

TectoAIHuman Oversight & Guardrails Matter Intelligence enforces AI usage policies in the browser, with opt outs at the client and matter level that block, restrict or allow a tool with conditions. It also controls prompt content, data types and tool access. Discovery enforces policies for agent access and task control. The customer sets these constraints on what AI may do, and Tecto describes no step where a person reviews or approves an action before it commits. Tecto also vets AI tools before a firm adopts them.
