Restate Comparison

How does workload identity and tool authorization compare between Catalyst and Restate?

Catalyst includes built-in workload identity and MCP tool authorization policies, allowing you to define who can invoke tools and under what conditions. Restate does not provide native workload identity or tool authorization; you must implement these yourself using external systems. For production agent systems requiring policy-based tool access, Catalyst offers a more integrated security model out of the box.
