Runtime authorization & controls
Apache-2.0 gateway, registry and proxy from IBM that federates MCP servers, A2A agents and REST or gRPC APIs behind one endpoint, adding authentication, rate limiting, input validation and OpenTelemetry tracing. It centralises tool discovery for MCP clients but does not itself provide threat detection or sandboxed execution.
