Durable Execution Selection
What security features does Catalyst add for AI agents beyond what Dapr provides?
Catalyst adds workload identity for agents and MCP tool authorization policies, which are not part of open-source Dapr. Dapr provides service-to-service mTLS and access control via its security building blocks. Catalyst layers agent-specific identity (so each agent runner has a verifiable identity) and policy-based authorization for MCP tools. This allows fine-grained control over which tools each agent can invoke, critical for production AI deployments.
