No, the MAGI are secret systems. they are just as protected as the Eva's.

The whole idea is that you never let it leak out that you even have this
system. Then you encrypt it and do everything you can to protect it. You
can't shoot what you don't know is even there!

Ummm, they do hide things from SEELE actually. Gendo does anyhow and he
