IntentGate vs API Gateways

Layer 7 network proxies versus deterministic, semantic authorization on the tool call. This is the case we make, evaluate it against your own requirements.

What an API gateway sees

Routes, rate limits, and tokens at the network layer.

What it cannot see

The agent's intent, the meaning of the action, or the business authority behind it.

What IntentGate adds

A deterministic semantic check on each tool call, allow, hold, or deny, with proof.

Placement

IntentGate sits on the tool call path, not just the network edge.
