Agent Gateway

The Agent Gateway is your central control point for all agent traffic, providing routing, load balancing, rate limiting, and observability.

Key Features

Traffic Management

• Load Balancing - Distribute requests across agent instances
• Rate Limiting - Control request throughput per client
• Circuit Breaker - Protect against cascading failures
• Timeout Management - Configure request timeouts

Routing

• Path-based Routing - Route by URL patterns
• Header-based Routing - Route by request headers
• Content-based Routing - Route by request body
• A/B Testing - Split traffic between agent versions

Security

• Authentication - API key and OAuth validation
• Authorization - Role-based access control
• IP Filtering - Whitelist/blacklist IP ranges
• Request Validation - Schema validation at the gateway

Observability

• Request Logging - Full request/response logging
• Metrics - Latency, throughput, error rates
• Tracing - Distributed trace context propagation
• Alerting - Real-time anomaly detection

Configuration

Creating a Gateway

1. Navigate to Operations > Agent Gateway
2. Click Create Gateway
3. Configure routing rules
4. Set up authentication
5. Deploy to your environment

Routing Rules

routes:
  - path: /agents/support/*
    target: support-agent-cluster
    timeout: 30s
    rate_limit: 100/min

  - path: /agents/analytics/*
    target: analytics-agent-cluster
    timeout: 60s

Deployment Models

Shared Gateway

Single gateway serving multiple agents - ideal for development and small deployments.

Dedicated Gateway

Per-agent or per-team gateways - recommended for production workloads with isolation requirements.

Multi-Region

Globally distributed gateways with intelligent routing to the nearest region.

Best Practices

1. Start with Rate Limits - Protect your agents from traffic spikes
2. Enable Logging - Capture requests for debugging
3. Set Timeouts - Prevent hung requests from consuming resources
4. Use Circuit Breakers - Fail fast when dependencies are unhealthy
