How Agentgateway Solves Agentic AI’s Connectivity Challenges

The agentic AI space faces challenges around secure, governed connectivity between agents, tools, large language models, and microservices. To address this, Solo.io developed two open-source projects: Kagent and Agentgateway. While Kagent, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, helps scale AI agents, it lacks a secure way to mediate communication between agents and tools. Enter Agentgateway, donated to the Linux Foundation, which provides governance, observability, and security for agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool traffic. Written in Rust, it supports protocols like MCP and A2A and integrates with Kubernetes Gateway API and inference gateways.
