How does Catalyst handle tool authorization for AI agents compared to Temporal's approach?

Catalyst includes built-in MCP tool authorization and policy enforcement, allowing you to define which agents can call which tools. Temporal leaves tool access to application code, requiring custom authorization logic. If your agents interact with many external tools and need centralized policy, Catalyst reduces security boilerplate. Temporal offers more flexibility but less out-of-box control.
