AI agents need intelligent routing and governance for production readiness

Developing production-ready AI agents requires robust governance and intelligent routing, which are often overlooked in initial builds. Challenges include tracking tool usage, cost attribution, permission enforcement, and audit trails, especially when agents interact with multiple MCP (Model Communication Protocol) servers. Intelligent routing can significantly reduce costs and latency by dynamically selecting the most appropriate tool for a given query, but bridging the gap between the data plane (fast routing) and the control plane (governance and management) is crucial for effective implementation. AI

IMPACT Effective agent routing and governance are critical for scaling AI applications, reducing costs, and ensuring security and compliance.

    Why Your Agents Need Intelligent MCP Routing (And Why It's Harder Than It Looks)

    <p>Your agent just called three MCP tools to answer a single user question. One took 50ms, one took 2 seconds, one failed and retried.</p> <p>You saw token usage spike. You have no idea which tool burned the most tokens or whether it was even necessary. One of those tools had per…
