Track; not yet

Why: The acquisition is confirmed by two primary sources (Workday newsroom and C1.ai CEO post, both 2026-10-13) and C1.ai markets a shipping platform (identity governance, MCP Gateway with 3000+ MCPs, Vault/Egress, LLM Gateway, AppHub); its site lists customer stories and a SOC 2 Type II badge. But no price, closing certainty, integration roadmap or independent press/analyst verification was found, and most product claims are vendor marketing without numbers. Workday's own Agent System of Record gives a plausible distribution path, but the combined offering does not exist yet.
Next: Re-check after expected closing (by 2027-01-31) for product continuity, pricing, Workday integration and independent analyst or customer evidence; meanwhile evaluate C1.ai's MCP Gateway and agent-governance controls against current IGA tooling.
