-Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway provides an easy and secure way for developers to build, deploy, discover, and connect to tools at scale. AI agents need tools to perform real-world tasks—from querying databases to sending messages to analyzing documents. With Gateway, developers can convert APIs, Lambda functions, and existing services into Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible tools and make them available to agents through Gateway endpoints with just a few lines of code. Gateway supports OpenAPI, Smithy, and Lambda as input types, and is the only solution that provides both comprehensive ingress authentication and egress authentication in a fully-managed service. Gateway also provides 1-click integration with several popular tools such as Salesforce, Slack, Jira, Asana, and Zendesk. Gateway eliminates weeks of custom code development, infrastructure provisioning, and security implementation so developers can focus on building innovative agent applications.
+Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway is a fully-managed AI gateway that provides a single, secure entry point for agentic traffic—connecting agents to tools, to other agents, and to large language models (LLMs). Rather than serving only as an MCP tool gateway, Gateway routes and secures any agentic traffic through one endpoint: it converts APIs, Lambda functions, and existing services into Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible tools; fronts other agents and HTTP services through passthrough targets (including Agent-to-Agent (A2A) traffic); and routes inference requests across multiple model providers through a unified, model-based routing endpoint.
