PlainID Turns Any Gateway Into An Agentic Ready Control Plane

The new capability extends PlainID’s runtime authorization to API, AI, and MCP gateways, turning any gateway into an agentic access control plane.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, October 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- October 6, 2026 - PlainID, the market-leading Runtime Authorization Platform built for the AI era, today announced AI-Ready Gateway Enforcement, extending its enterprise runtime authorization platform to organizational API, AI, and MCP gateways. This new capability transforms existing shared traffic control points into identity-aware, agent-aware, and intent-aware enforcement points, enabling organizations to secure agentic AI workflows without code modifications or development effort.

As enterprise traffic shifts from human-initiated API calls to autonomous AI agents dynamically selecting tools, querying data platforms, and invoking Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, traditional gateways face critical enforcement gaps. Most existing gateways operate with single-identity blind spots - recognizing either the human user or the agent, but not both - and lack fine-grained data masking, row-level filtering, or parameter-level tool governance.

With PlainID AI-Ready Gateway Enforcement, organizations can:
Discover and understand agentic activity — gain visibility into agents, MCP tools, APIs, resources, and the actions flowing through the gateway.
Bind human and agent identity — manage the relationship between the initiating user and the agent acting on their behalf.
Control agent intent and actions — evaluate what the agent is trying to do at the moment of action.
Control MCP and tool access — govern which tools are visible, whether they can be invoked, which operations can be performed, and which parameter values and payloads are permitted.
Protect enterprise data — constrain the information agents can access and prevent sensitive information from being exposed.
Apply input and response guardrails — control what enters the agentic transaction and inspect, mask, filter, or redact what comes back before it reaches the agent or user.
Create a complete authorization trail — make every sensitive agent action an explainable, auditable runtime security decision
“As agentic AI scales across enterprise infrastructure, gateways see massive volumes of automated agent traffic, but lack the context to govern what agents are actually doing,” said Gal Helemski, Co-Founder and CPO at PlainID. “Your gateway already sees the traffic. PlainID gives it the intelligence to understand the identity, the agent, and the intent - and the authority to control what happens next across every API call, MCP tool execution, and data query.”

AI-Ready Gateway Enforcement is the first major capability announced since PlainID's brand relaunch as the Runtime Authorization Platform for the AI era. The new brand reflects the company's focus on governing what humans and agents can do after access is granted, not just who gets through the door.
PlainID will continue expanding platform coverage and advancing its authorization capabilities to meet the needs of enterprises deploying agents at scale.
