The question is how much Magnus knows about Luke, Joslyn, and the other Shadowhunters, and what they do. As he knows the Shadow World and where did the deep mistrust come from as in the books he has had Shadowhunters living with him and him actively working with the Clave in the past However this was in London where he and the then Camille Belcourt the vampire in the past a lover of Magnus. So we see that he left Londen to start a new life in the USA and has had several professions during this time not all of them relating to being a warlock and we see this reflected in the first decision of his unit that was in a very run-down area. However we do see him move the unit and it stays there, but we see that the people who are aware that he is a warlock will find him and we see that he does know what he is doing under that masking of a person who has time on their hands we see that Magus knows how to get things done in a pinch as well.
In the show, Magnus seems to have a deep mistrust of Shadowhunters and isn't welcome in the institute, yet in the past when he was living in London, he references this in the show that he was deeply unhappy with where he was at. So he moved to New York, and started again, he seems to have a good relationship with Luke in the show, yet we see that Magus seems to know Luke and his history with Valentine and the Circle. We also see how he became a Downworlder and this seems to be where Magnus's relationship with Luke has become more cordial as they are in the show called the downworlders council meeting, in the books it is the representative of the Children of Lilith.
The question is how much did Magnus know and see it play out in real time? As Ragnar Fell was helping Joslyn and Clary. Magnus was also helping Joslyn and then it is his relationship with the other Warlocks and Downworlders is quite complex as he is immortal and sees that things change over the centuries he has lived. So how does that change the way that he sees the world?
We see Luke come to Magnus when he needs help or advice from another Downworlder and we also see Luke help Magnus navigate his relationship with Alec.

We also see the relationships between Magnus and the other Downworlders and that some of the Shadowhunters seem to know how to exploit this, like punishing downworlders Mangus has helped to get to Magnus and the Shadowhunters seem to know that it isn't great to attack Mangus directly and this is why the rules and attitudes towards Downworlders existed.
