What is an AI Gateway?
Control comes first, because that's what makes AI reliable.
Every model call and agent action passes through one AI gateway — policies enforced at runtime, data protected, everything logged. That's what makes AI safe to roll out.
Access Control
Set fine-grained access controls from the user, role, group, and MCP server down to the tool, model, data point, and action — enforced at runtime, on every request.
- Fine-grained access controls — From the user, role, group, and MCP server down to the tool, model, data point, and action.
- An identity for every agent — Scope human access down from your existing identity provider roles, and give every agent its own identity.
- Runtime policy enforcement — Every request evaluated against policy, so risky actions are stopped before they run.
- Native data protection — With inline data loss prevention, you can redact, tokenize, or block sensitive data, so it never reaches a model or MCP server.
Visibility
Track every AI and agent action
One dashboard, every AI action logged: what ran, what it touched, whether policy allowed it — audit-ready, streamed into the SIEM you already run.
- Clear attribution — Every AI action ties back to the exact user, role, or agent that triggered it, and the policy decision that allowed or blocked it.
- Agent-level view — See how every agent is performing, its MCP connections, access policies, activity, and token consumption in one view.
- Usage insight — See how users and agents actually use your models and MCP servers, so you can uncover what’s working and find new use cases to scale.
AI Cost Management
Cost is never a surprise.
See exactly what every user, team, and agent is spending, with a full breakdown by model and cap it before it becomes an overage.
- Spend visibility by user, team, and agent — A full breakdown so cost is never a black box.
- Meter and cap token spend — Set budgets by user, team, agent, and model, so you never overspend.
- Cost-efficient routing — Route every request to the most cost-efficient model automatically, so you pay only for what each task needs.
AI Enablement
Teams only use what they're approved for.
Stand up governed access in days, not quarters — with a catalog of every model and MCP server your teams are cleared to use.
- 100+ pre-built MCP servers — Connect them, or add custom ones for the tools your company already uses.
- A governed catalog — Employees see every model and MCP server available to them, so teams use only what they’re approved for.
- Distribute model access — Issue virtual keys so developers, agents, and AI apps get model access without ever touching the real credentials.

The AI gateway built for enterprise scale.
01
Faster path to production
Centralized controls across every model and MCP server. Stand up governed access in days, not weeks.
02
Least-privilege permissions
Fine-grained access down to the user, role, tool, model, and data point. Policies block anything not explicitly allowed, before it runs.
03
Reliable AI execution
Every request is checked against policy and logged in real time, so outputs are governed and consistent enough to stand behind.
04
Lower operational cost
Meter and cap spend by user, team, agent, and model, and route requests to the most cost-effective option for the task. Never overspend again.
05
Integrates with your stack
Works with any model or MCP server, local, or officially hosted. Deployed as SaaS, in your private cloud, or on-prem.
06
No vendor lock-in
Use the models, AI apps, and agent frameworks you choose. Connect 100+ pre-built MCP servers or add your own. We govern them all.
