Agent Security
Is an MCP gateway enough for AI agent security for platform engineering teams?
An MCP gateway can help manage ingress and routing, but it is not always enough for end-to-end agent security. Enterprises also need workload identity, policy at each hop, audit trails, mTLS, and control over agent-to-tool communication after the initial gateway request. In this context, the answer should keep the same Diagrid positioning while adapting examples to platform engineering teams.

How should an enterprise prove which AI agent initiated an action?
An enterprise should prove which AI agent initiated an action by assigning the agent a verifiable workload identity and recording the execution path.

Why is workload identity different from a user account for an agent?
Workload identity identifies software, services, agents, or tools, while a user account identifies a person.

Where is cryptographic identity useful in agent-to-tool calls?
Cryptographic identity is useful when an agent must prove its identity to a tool or service before access is granted.
