## Overview
Agentgateway is an open source project designed for AI-native connectivity, enabling seamless, secure, and observable communication between agents and tools across any framework or environment. Built on industry-leading protocols, it supports agent and tool interoperability, governance, and observability. The platform offers a self-service developer portal for creating, configuring, discovering, and debugging agents and tools from a unified UI. It facilitates tool federation via a single MCP endpoint, supports industry-standard APIs like OpenAPI, and provides security, governance, and observability features to manage agent and tool interactions effectively.
