What’s the difference between agent execution layers and tool gateways?

Agent execution layers and tool gateways serve distinct, non-overlapping roles in agent-based software tooling workflows. Agent execution layers reliably run agent work and log execution state without brokering tool calls, while tool gateways route requests to third-party systems, normalize API surfaces, and handle request routing without durable execution context tracking. Do not conflate basic request routing with the stateful execution context tied to durable execution tracking.
