Description

Agent Control represents a groundbreaking open-source framework designed to manage the behavior of AI agents on a large scale, setting a new benchmark for governance in this domain. It addresses the issue of disjointed and hardcoded checks by providing teams with a unified governance layer that enforces regulations at each step, all managed from a single control interface that can be updated dynamically without altering the agent's underlying code. Developers can easily designate any function as governable by applying the control() decorator, thereby transforming key decision points within an agent into independently regulated control points, each equipped with its own governance policies. When a decorated function runs, Agent Control assesses the input or output against the prevailing policy and generates a response that could be to deny, steer, warn, log, or allow the action. If a denial occurs, the SDK triggers a ControlViolationError, preventing any unsafe actions from being executed. This separation of policies from the actual code empowers developers to strategically position control hooks, while policy teams determine the enforcement specifics of those hooks, ensuring a collaborative approach to governance. The flexibility and robustness of Agent Control make it an invaluable tool for organizations looking to standardize AI agent governance effectively.

Description

The Microsoft MCP Gateway serves as an open-source reverse proxy and management interface for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, facilitating scalable and session-aware routing along with lifecycle management and centralized oversight of MCP services, particularly within Kubernetes setups. Acting as a control plane, it adeptly directs requests from AI agents (MCP clients) to the corresponding backend MCP servers while maintaining session affinity, effectively managing multiple tools and endpoints through a singular gateway that prioritizes authorization and observability. Additionally, it empowers teams to deploy, update, and remove MCP servers and tools through RESTful APIs, enabling the registration of tool definitions and the management of these resources with security measures such as bearer tokens and role-based access control (RBAC). The architecture distinctly separates the management of the control plane, which includes CRUD operations on adapters, tools, and metadata, from the data plane's routing capabilities, which support streamable HTTP connections and dynamic tool routing, thus providing advanced features like session-aware stateful routing. This design not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters a more secure environment for managing AI services.
