An MCP gateway serves as a centralized security layer for agents interacting with internal MCP servers, addressing the challenge of managing tool access and permissions across multiple agents and teams. Unlike embedding security logic within each agent, an MCP gateway consolidates these rules in one place, preventing name clashes and enforcing identity checks based on tokens. While agentgateway 1.6.0 is suitable for pilot programs, it is not yet recommended as the sole security measure, with argument checks and prompt-injection defenses still best handled within the tools themselves.
