Secure Tool Gateway
Permissioned tool execution with scoped access, audit logs, and approval gates.
System flow
How the pieces move.
- Request Receive a typed tool call.
- Policy Validate identity and scope.
- Approve Escalate risky actions to a human.
- Audit Record the decision and result.
Problem Statement
Agent tools can create security and governance risk when access is broad, implicit, or poorly audited.
Architecture Summary
A tool gateway validates typed calls against policy, OAuth scopes, sandbox rules, and human approval thresholds before execution.
Key Design Tradeoffs
- Makes tool execution slower where approval or policy checks are required.
- Keeps auditability and least privilege ahead of raw automation speed.
- Makes fallback behavior a first-class design concern.
