Agent Gateway
HVT SWITCH™ live-gate arbitration: fail-closed on every consequential action./A checkpoint every agent action must pass.
The gateway intercepts each tool call, verifies identity and evidence, applies policy, and returns ALLOW, REQUIRE APPROVAL or DENY. Unknown equals Safe Hold./Every action goes through one door. The door says yes, asks a human, or says no. If it is unsure, it waits.
What goes wrong without it
Agents call tools directly, bypassing governance./Agents reach systems with nothing watching.
Decision logic is scattered across prompts and code./Rules are spread everywhere.
There is no single point to stop an agent./No one place to hit stop.
Four steps, in order
Intercept
Tool calls are routed through the gateway./Actions are sent to the door.
Verify
Identity and evidence level are checked./Who is asking, and how sure are we?
Decide
Policy returns a decision with the matched rule./The rules give an answer and the reason.
Execute
Approved acts run through a bounded adapter./Allowed actions run safely.
Key capabilities
Three outcomes
ALLOW, REQUIRE APPROVAL, DENY./Yes, ask a person, or no.
Sub-millisecond stop
Emergency stop measured at P50/P95/P99 (per the patent-pending design)./Very fast emergency stop.
Drop-in
Python, JavaScript and HTTP interfaces./Works with the tools you use.
Full record
Each decision hash-chained./Everything is logged.
Before and after
An agent writes directly to a payments API./An agent pays money with nobody checking.
The call is held at the gateway until policy and a named approver agree./The payment waits for rules and a person.
Illustrative scenarios. Controls shown are design intent, confirmed by the gates on your own infrastructure.
