One data plane.
Every agent.
Governed.

We built the platform. agentgateway as a universal data plane for MCP, HTTP, A2A, and gRPC. These four submissions are the proofs.

Four tracks.
One platform.

CMDR

submitted

Agent Behavior Governance + freeze-mcp

Same model. Same tools. Different instructions. CMDR caught it. Captures agent runs via OpenTelemetry, detects behavioral drift against approved baselines, and gates deployments by replaying scenarios with frozen tool responses through freeze-mcp. Deployed. Medium article published.

The Thesis

agentgateway shouldn't just be about AI.

PR #1233 added OIDC browser auth for generic HTTP traffic — no oauth2-proxy sidecar needed. The same gateway that routes MCP traffic also handles browser sessions for any service. That's what a unified data plane looks like.
