CAGS is computer assisted gear selection I do believe. VATS has to do with the little chip inside the key. Not exactly sure what it means though. COT I have no idea about. A search could probably knock all of these out.
COT as said is Cat Over Temp which dumps extra fuel to keep your cats from becoming too hot as to not destroy them. If you have no cats then COT can be turned off.
