Keboola vs OpenCTI: at a glance
What is Keboola?
Keboola is smoothing the seams — MCP login, direct workspace writes, and BigQuery catching up to Snowflake
Keboola's August work is concentrated on removing intermediate steps. The MCP server swapped pasted Storage API tokens for a one-time browser login that reaches every project on a stack, workspaces write straight into Storage without an output-mapping job, and branched storage arrives on BigQuery to match Snowflake. Alongside that sits a run of runtime and authentication deprecations with hard dates.
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI's assistant starts executing approved tools, and its maps stop calling out.
OpenCTI is an open-source threat-intelligence platform shipping several times a week. 7.260828.0 adds human-in-the-loop tool approval to Ask Ariane, the platform's assistant, replaces the external map tile server with local PMTiles rendering, and adds two inference rules deriving vulnerability relationships across systems, software and infrastructure. A Score field arrives on threat actors, intrusion sets, malware, incidents and events.

◆ Current state
Keboola's August work is concentrated on removing intermediate steps. The MCP server swapped pasted Storage API tokens for a one-time browser login that reaches every project on a stack, workspaces write straight into Storage without an output-mapping job, and branched storage arrives on BigQuery to match Snowflake. Alongside that sits a run of runtime and authentication deprecations with hard dates.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel: making the assistant and workspace surfaces less ceremonious, and dragging the BigQuery backend to parity with Snowflake ahead of Branches 2.0. The deprecation notices — Python 3.10, Snowflake password auth — suggest a platform clearing old ground before the next structural release.
◆ Prediction
Branches 2.0 with approval workflows and conflict resolution is the next substantial release, and it should land once BigQuery parity work is finished.

OpenCTI's assistant starts executing approved tools, and its maps stop calling out.
◆ Current state
OpenCTI is an open-source threat-intelligence platform shipping several times a week. 7.260828.0 adds human-in-the-loop tool approval to Ask Ariane, the platform's assistant, replaces the external map tile server with local PMTiles rendering, and adds two inference rules deriving vulnerability relationships across systems, software and infrastructure. A Score field arrives on threat actors, intrusion sets, malware, incidents and events.
◆ Where it's heading
Recent releases have been steady platform work: shareable saved searches, mass relation edits, STIX ingestion robustness, an LTS security backport. Two moves here break that pattern — the assistant shifting from answering to acting under approval, and an external dependency disappearing from the map path. The inference rules continue OpenCTI's push to derive relationships rather than make analysts assert them by hand.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to spell out which tools Ask Ariane may call and under which roles, since the approval mechanism arrives here as a single changelog line with no scope attached.
