What is Tability?

Tability is wiring governance and write access around the AI agents it already shipped.

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph, then pointing agents at it. This batch is consolidation rather than new ground: workspace admins can now switch Agents off from MCP settings while preserving existing schedules, relationships and history; AI Mode gains write access to KPIs and KPI Views with explicit confirmation on destructive actions; scheduled prompts can read across plans, objectives, key results, initiatives, check-ins, members, agents and KPIs to produce formatted executive emails. Setup for delegated agents now hands you install instructions for Codex, ChatGPT or Claude Cowork.

What is Tracecat?

Tracecat 1.0 stable lands with workspace entitlements, SSRF hardening, and an open-source MCP skills catalog

Tracecat shipped version 1.0.0 stable on September 16, marking the first production-commitment release for the open-source security automation platform. The release draws a commercial boundary via multi-workspace entitlements, blocks SSRF in MCP and LLM agent requests, expands case management with filtered aggregation, and open-sources its preset skills and MCP catalog connectors. The 1.0 stable tag reflects a deliberate signal: the core architecture is settled enough for production commitments.

T7.5

Tability is wiring governance and write access around the AI agents it already shipped.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph, then pointing agents at it. This batch is consolidation rather than new ground: workspace admins can now switch Agents off from MCP settings while preserving existing schedules, relationships and history; AI Mode gains write access to KPIs and KPI Views with explicit confirmation on destructive actions; scheduled prompts can read across plans, objectives, key results, initiatives, check-ins, members, agents and KPIs to produce formatted executive emails. Setup for delegated agents now hands you install instructions for Codex, ChatGPT or Claude Cowork.

◆ Where it's heading

The agent track and the graph track have merged, and the work has shifted to the unglamorous half: permissions, confirmations, admin kill switches, and telling a human which agent needs attention and why. AI Mode is steadily converting modules from readable to writable - it took general workspace actions in May, the KPI module shipped in July, and it now writes KPIs too - so the pattern is that each new object type gets inspected first and edited a release or two later. Notifications now distinguish updates authored by an agent from those authored by a person, which is the kind of detail that only matters once agents are actually writing to the workspace.

◆ Prediction

Expect initiatives and check-ins to be the next objects AI Mode can write rather than only read, following the same inspect-then-edit pattern the KPI module just completed. The admin enable/disable switch also suggests per-role or per-team agent permissions rather than a single workspace-wide toggle.

T6.3

Tracecat 1.0 stable lands with workspace entitlements, SSRF hardening, and an open-source MCP skills catalog

◆ Current state

Tracecat shipped version 1.0.0 stable on September 16, marking the first production-commitment release for the open-source security automation platform. The release draws a commercial boundary via multi-workspace entitlements, blocks SSRF in MCP and LLM agent requests, expands case management with filtered aggregation, and open-sources its preset skills and MCP catalog connectors. The 1.0 stable tag reflects a deliberate signal: the core architecture is settled enough for production commitments.

◆ Where it's heading

Tracecat is following an open-core model—OSS core, paid multi-tenancy—with 1.0 as the line where that separation becomes contractual. The SSRF hardening in agentic contexts and the open-sourced MCP catalog are complementary moves: more trust for AI agents running in production, more community-contributed integrations via MCP. Case management (aggregation actions, rich text comments) is getting substantial investment, pointing toward a more complete SOC workflow tool.

◆ Prediction

The next major push will be an expanded MCP connector catalog—now that it's open-source, community PRs will accelerate the integration count. Expect deepening case management automation (aggregation actions are just in; richer query and reporting capabilities follow) alongside further commercial tier differentiation.
