Platform

Secure and govern autonomous AI agents

ForgeCrux Agent Gateway gives every agent an identity, permissions, routing, memory controls, guardrails, tracing, evaluation, cost limits, and lifecycle—so multi-agent systems can reach models, APIs, MCP tools, and data without unmanaged autonomy.

Control path: Policy · Identity · Observability across every hop

Data path: Channel → Agent Gateway → AI Gateway → MCP → API → SoR

Identity for every agent

No anonymous bots. Each agent is named, credentialed, and scoped like a production workload.

Controlled autonomy

Policies decide which models, tools, and data an agent may use—and when a human must approve.

End-to-end traces

Follow a task from user request through agent steps, model calls, MCP tools, and enterprise systems.

Key Capabilities

Agent registry, versions, and environment promotion
Unique agent identity, certificates, and workload auth
Agent-to-agent communication with policy on every hop
Authorization for models, tools, APIs, and data
Agent routing, load balancing, and failover
Tool access policies via MCP and API gateways
Memory, session, and knowledge isolation
Guardrails, human-in-the-loop, and kill switches
Workflow monitoring and step-level tracing
Agent evaluation, simulations, and quality gates
Spend, token, and tool-call budgets per agent
Lifecycle: draft, certify, deploy, pause, retire

Complete Agent Gateway capabilities

Everything required to publish, secure, mediate, observe, and operate agent gateway workloads on ForgeCrux.

Registry, identity, and lifecycle

Treat agents as production services, not scripts.

  • Agent registry with owners, versions, and environments
  • Unique identity, mTLS, and workload tokens per agent
  • Metadata: purpose, risk tier, data classification
  • Draft, review, certify, deploy, pause, and retire workflows
  • Blue/green and canary releases of agent versions
  • Multi-tenant isolation and namespace quotas
  • Framework support: LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, OpenAI Agents, custom
  • CI/CD hooks to block uncertified agents from production

Authorization, routing, and A2A

Control who an agent is, whom it may call, and how work is dispatched.

  • Agent-to-agent (A2A) messaging with authenticated channels
  • Allow lists for peer agents, models, tools, and APIs
  • Task routing by skill, load, cost, latency, and policy
  • Delegation, supervisor, and swarm patterns with hop limits
  • On-behalf-of user context with consent and scope reduction
  • Session affinity and sticky routing for long-running tasks
  • Failover and retry when an agent or tool is unhealthy
  • Rate limits and concurrency caps per agent and per tenant

Tools, memory, and data access

Bound what agents can remember and which systems they can touch.

  • Tool access only through MCP Gateway and API Gateway
  • Least-privilege tool packs per agent role
  • Memory stores with TTL, encryption, and tenant isolation
  • No cross-agent memory unless explicitly shared
  • Retrieval policies and forbidden corpus lists
  • File, browser, and code-exec sandboxes with egress control
  • Long-running workflow state with resumability
  • Redaction of secrets and PII from memory and logs

Guardrails, HITL, and safety

Keep autonomous loops inside enterprise bounds.

  • Step, time, token, and cost budgets per run
  • Human-in-the-loop approvals for high-risk actions
  • Kill switch, pause, and drain for runaway agents
  • Prompt, tool, and output guardrails inherited from AI Gateway
  • Goal and policy constraints (cannot exfiltrate, cannot spend above N)
  • Simulation and red-team suites before production
  • Break-glass with dual control
  • Incident playbooks and automatic containment

Observability, evaluation, and cost

See every step and prove agents are doing the right work.

  • Step-level traces: thoughts, model calls, tools, and results
  • Workflow DAG views and replay
  • Success, failure, loop, and handoff metrics
  • Quality evals: task completion, groundedness, policy adherence
  • Online feedback and offline golden-task regression
  • Cost by agent, team, model, and tool
  • OpenTelemetry-compatible export
  • Alerts on loops, spend spikes, and policy violations

Platform and operations

Run agentic systems with the same rigor as APIs.

  • Agent APIs, CLI, SDKs, and event webhooks
  • Kubernetes, Terraform, and GitOps for agent configs
  • Environments and promotion of agent definitions
  • Multi-region active-active agent runtimes
  • SLA, capacity planning, and fair-share scheduling
  • Audit of identity, policy, and deployment changes
  • VPC, on-prem, and air-gapped execution
  • Unified console with API, AI, and MCP gateways

How teams run Agent Gateway on ForgeCrux

Register agents

Onboard each agent with an owner, identity, risk tier, and environment before it can call models or tools.

Attach permissions

Grant only the model routes, MCP tools, and APIs that agent needs. Default deny everything else.

Set budgets and HITL

Cap tokens, dollars, and tool calls. Require human approval on irreversible or high-value actions.

Trace every run

Turn on step-level tracing so support and security can replay what an agent did.

Evaluate before scale

Run simulations and quality gates in CI; promote only certified agent versions.

Operate in production

Use kill switches, canaries, and spend alerts so autonomous systems stay inside SLO and policy.
