AgentGate

Kill shot

Real budget and a genuine EU AI Act forcing function, but a runtime security proxy sold to Series B-D platform engineers is a high-trust, SOC2/SSO, on-call enterprise sale that one founder can't credibly deliver, and Lakera/Invariant/Lasso plus in-house IAM teams are racing the same window. Intercepting and securing tool calls between agents and enterprise endpoints is a massive integration treadmill that a solo founder cannot reliably maintain or sell to compliance-heavy Series B startups.

No vibes. No flattery.

The verdict

PIVOT · 64/100. Real demand, but the shape needs to change.

The kill-shot

Real budget and a genuine EU AI Act forcing function, but a runtime security proxy sold to Series B-D platform engineers is a high-trust, SOC2/SSO, on-call enterprise sale that one founder can't credibly deliver, and Lakera/Invariant/Lasso plus in-house IAM teams are racing the same window. Intercepting and securing tool calls between agents and enterprise endpoints is a massive integration treadmill that a solo founder cannot reliably maintain or sell to compliance-heavy Series B startups.

What would change the verdict

Three platform-eng teams sign a paid pilot to route production agent tool-calls through your proxy, proving they'll trust an unknown solo vendor in the critical path. A platform engineer at a Series B startup signs a paid pilot to route their production agents through your proxy this week.

From the dossier · The problem

Companies deploying AI agents to production systems have no standardized way to define what those agents can and cannot do. A planning agent gets read access to Jira and suddenly it's also writing to the database because permissions were granted as a broad MCP scope. The AGENTS.md proposal exploded to 4,600+ GitHub reactions because teams are desperate for structure, but it's just a spec file — nothing enforces it at runtime. Enterprise IAM tools like Okta model human users, not autonomous agents that chain tool calls unpredictably. NVIDIA is building sandboxed agent runtimes (NemoClaw, 18K+…
