Restate Comparison

How does Catalyst handle local testing of MCP tool authorization compared to Restate's approach?

Catalyst enforces MCP tool authorization policies during local development, letting you test tool access controls before production. Restate does not have built-in MCP tool authorization; it relies on application-level logic. Catalyst's approach means you can validate tool policies (e.g., which agents can call which tools) in a local environment, reducing deployment risks. This is particularly valuable when multiple agents share tools with different access levels.
