Secure agent, MCP and tool gateway

CydraGateway

CydraGateway sits between agents and enterprise tools. It authenticates each agent, resolves the tool, target and delegated user, evaluates deterministic policy, inspects content, gates high-impact actions behind human approval and executes with scoped credentials.

CydraGateway

How CydraGateway decides

Decide before tools execute — allow, deny or require approval.

  • Authenticate

    Agents present signed, five-minute workload tokens with replay protection; suspended agents are denied.

  • Evaluate

    Deterministic policy over agent, tool, target, environment, data classification, risk score and inspection results.

  • Gate

    High-impact actions wait for a named approver; approval tokens are bound to the exact request and used once.

  • Execute and record

    Scoped, time-limited credentials per execution; every decision and result becomes an evidence record.

Capabilities

CydraGateway capabilities and status

Status reflects the current proof-of-concept build.

  • Identity-aware agent gateway

    Authenticate every action request with a signed, short-lived agent workload token.

    Available
  • MCP, API and tool mediation

    Resolve tool, operation, target and environment before anything executes (simulated executors in the PoC).

    Available
  • Pre-execution policy decisions

    Deterministic allow, deny or require-approval decisions from versioned policy.

    Available
  • Human approval gates

    Single-use approval tokens bound to the exact request hash, target and expiry.

    Available
  • Data and secrets inspection

    Inspect parameters and payloads for personal data and secrets before execution.

    Available
  • Scoped credential handling

    Per-execution, target-scoped, time-limited credential handles; secrets never returned by the API.

    Beta
  • Per-action evidence records

    An evidence record for every decision and execution, appended to the tenant's chain.

    Available
  • Per-agent rate limits

    Rate limits per agent and route class, returning Retry-After when exceeded.

    Available
  • Idempotent action requests

    Idempotency keys prevent duplicate execution of the same action.

    Available
  • Fail-closed enforcement

    Policy or detector errors deny high-risk actions; fail-open is explicit and limited to read-class actions.

    Available
  • Model router

    Route requests across OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight and customer-hosted models by task and policy.

    Roadmap
  • A2A protocol controls

    Policy enforcement for agent-to-agent communication.

    Roadmap

Preview
Interface or mock implementation behind a real contract; live integration not yet enabled.
Roadmap
Not built in this phase. Shared platform foundations are in place.
