agentgateway
Linux Foundation
Rust proxy for agent traffic that governs MCP, A2A and LLM calls with CEL-based RBAC, budgets and guardrails; runs standalone or on Kubernetes.
Curated by Tiberiu ArvaVerified
Strengths
- MCP, A2A and LLM in one proxy
- CEL policy engine for fine-grained RBAC
- Kubernetes Gateway API controller built in
Practitioner note
A strong vendor-neutral pick for Kubernetes platform teams that want one policy point for agent tool calls and LLM traffic. It moves quickly and v1.5.0 had breaking changes (e.g. JWT issuer/audience now required), so read the release notes before upgrading.

Risk tier: Not applicable · as of 2026-08-23Source-backed information mapped from agentgateway's tracked risk tier — not legal advice. Obligations depend on how your organisation deploys the system; see the full obligation reference and timeline.
This record's EU AI Act risk tier is marked not applicable, so no tier-specific obligations attach. Deployers embedding it in an AI system in scope of the Act should assess that system's own tier.
