Agent Gateway

Runtime access control for every AI agent action.

Meet Agent Gateway

Agent Gateway delivers runtime access enforcement purpose‑built for AI agents and MCP‑based architectures. It standardizes how agents reach tools and data, enforcing every request against your access rules and risk signals, ensuring delegated least privilege at the moment of action.

 

Whether an agent is built to assist your customers, employees, or partners, Agent Gateway secures its calls to critical resources by continuously enforcing policy as agents interact with your systems.

How It Works

Agent Gateway brings runtime enforcement to MCP traffic. It sits in front of your MCP servers and intercepts every agent call, validating that each request is backed by a valid OAuth 2.0 access token before it can reach your resources.

 

For valid requests, it works with your identity services to enforce fine-grained access control, throttle MCP requests, and transform tokens and headers so downstream services see only what they need. In doing so, it turns your MCP layer into an identity-aware enforcement point for every agent action.

With Agent Gateway,
You Can:

Standardize MCP security by putting a single, policy-driven gateway in front of all your MCP servers so every agent call is evaluated the same way.

Enforce delegated least privilege by validating agent tokens and scopes at runtime so agents only reach the tools and data they’re explicitly authorized to use.

Gain audit-ready visibility by auditing MCP requests and the agents behind them, providing the trails you need for investigations and governance.

Support faster agent adoption by giving teams a clear, reusable pattern for securing MCP-based agents that balances developer speed with strong access control.

Part of the Ping Identity Platform

Securing your most sensitive access points and agent pathways shouldn’t require stitching together a dozen tools. We provide the industry’s most comprehensive identity platform, combining identity verification, authentication, authorization, identity governance, privileged access, and agent-aware controls in one place. Here’s what sets us apart:

 

  • All-in-one identity platform with unmatched reliability

  • Trusted globally, built for enterprise scale

  • Easy to use, easier to integrate, evolves with your needs

Agent Access at Enterprise Scale

Agent Gateway helps you scale agent access by centralizing enforcement over how agents reach MCP-enabled services.

 

  • Apply consistent authorization policies in one place for all MCP servers

  • Ensure every agent request is evaluated against the same runtime rules

  • Use a single control point to safely introduce new agents and tools without custom guardrails everywhere

Business Value

Business Value

Connect identity to your MCP architecture so it can enforce access based on which humans agents are tied to, and what they’re allowed to do.

Reduce the risk of over‑privileged agents by enforcing authorization at the moment of each MCP request, so every call is checked before it reaches critical services and data.

Give teams a clear, enforceable layer to secure MCP-based agents, using a single gateway to standardize how agents access services and avoid varying one-off guardrails around every new tool.

Use audited MCP requests and centralized enforcement to demonstrate how agent access is controlled, supporting internal governance and future regulatory expectations around AI.

Secure Agent Access Across Your MCP Services

Give your AI agents a safe path into your MCP-enabled tools, backed by centralized enforcement and auditable control at the gateway so you can scale agent adoption without increasing risk.
