Agent control planes are re-skinned API gateways, author argues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author argues that the concept of an "agent control plane" is essentially a re-skin of existing infrastructure, rather than a new category of software. They break down the four core features of such a plane—cost metering, approval queues, tool-call policies, and audit logs—and map each to established technologies like API gateways, workflow tools, authorization systems, and structured logging.

    Your agent control plane is an API gateway with a new name

    <p>I spent last Saturday adding per-run cost accounting to my agent fleet. Not a dashboard — a counter that increments on every model call, tagged with the run ID, the tool that fired it, and the person who asked. Ninety lines and one Postgres table. It's ugly and it works.</p> <…
