Restate Comparison

How do Catalyst and Restate handle tool invocation and MCP integration for agents?

Catalyst provides native MCP tool authorization and policy enforcement, allowing you to define which tools agents can call and under what conditions. Restate does not have built-in MCP support; you must implement tool invocation and authorization manually. For agent systems that rely on MCP for tool access, Catalyst offers a more integrated and policy-driven approach, reducing custom code.
