Many of us are "hands-on-keyboard" interacting with Agents in our terminal or via a desktop app. That's, however, when you want to do something at the exact
A typical gateway comes with a lot of policy enforcement, authentication/authorization implementations, and filtering for both agentic and API-centric traffic. However, there may come a time when you need:
* Custom auth,
The MCP protocol can now be stateful or stateless, ingest only one tool to the Agent, call API endpoints, and use functions/methods in a codebase as tools. The one concern still, however,
Without proper controls for how many times an Agent/LLM can hit an MCP Server, you open yourself up to potential DOS attacks, memory hogging, insane API bills, and server/system overload. Luckily,
