You need dedicated capabilities in the Security domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
You have access to required keys: INTERNAL_API_KEY.
Primary tools included: Per-tool policy enforcement (block, rate limit, min tier), Shadow mode logs all tool calls without blocking, Enforce mode applies policies to tool calls.
Security gateway that wraps any MCP server with per-tool policies, approval gates, and optional Ed25519-signed receipts. Shadow mode logs every tool call; enforce mode blocks, rate-limits, or requires approval.
Identity and credential governance broker for MCP servers. Issues scoped, short-lived credentials per agent to stop credential inheritance. Audit log, human approval gates, AIMS-aligned.
