# AgentGate

A gate for what your agent is allowed to do: policies approve harmless calls, block risky ones, and send the rest to a person.

## What it does

The agent asks before it acts. Send an email, remove a file, ship to production — each request hits a policy engine that answers on its own or hands the decision to a human. Approvals come through a web dashboard, Slack, Discord or email.

There are five packages: core with schemas and the policy engine, a Hono API server, a TypeScript SDK, the MCP server and webhook delivery that retries on failure. Storage runs on SQLite or PostgreSQL, and `docker compose up` brings the whole stack online.

You need Node.js with `npx`, plus a gateway already running somewhere. The bootstrap step prints the admin key once — a missing `AGENTGATE_API_KEY` will stop the demo and authenticated calls. Worth knowing: the MCP package is only the client side. No gateway, no one to approve anything.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)

```bash
gemini mcp add agentkitai-agentgate npx -y @agentkitai/agentgate-mcp
```

## When to use it
- let routine agent actions through without a manual check
- deny file deletion or deployment by rule
- route unclear requests to Slack, Discord or email
- keep a log of every request, decision and action
- start the gateway and its database with one `docker compose up`

## Example prompts
- Connect AgentGate and list the requests waiting for my decision
- Send a production deploy request through AgentGate and tell me which policy fired
- Set up a webhook for the decision event and confirm the retry went through
