# Control every agent-to-agent interaction

Standardize A2A security, governance, and observability across your entire agent network–without changing how agents are built.

## Agent networks are scaling faster than your security model

Multi-agent systems talk to each other constantly – orchestrators delegating tasks, remote agents invoking capabilities, LLMs calling tools. But most teams have no visibility into what's happening across those calls.

Without centralized governance, every A2A interaction is a blind spot. Unauthorized agents can be invoked. Payloads go unexamined. Audit trails don't exist. And when something breaks, you're debugging across distributed systems with no telemetry to guide you.

Your agents are moving fast. Your governance posture needs to keep up.

## The control plane for your multi-agent network

Agent Gateway is built directly into Kong AI Gateway – no new infrastructure required. Drop it into your existing deployment and immediately gain control over every A2A call.

### Real-time RPC tracing and monitoring

Capture detailed telemetry on every A2A call. Identify bottlenecks and optimize agent communication before issues reach production.

### Policy enforcement and security controls

Centralized authentication, authorization, and rate limiting on all A2A traffic. Ensure compliance and block unauthorized agent interactions before they execute.

### Audit logs and compliance tracking

Maintain complete, tamper-evident audit trails of every A2A RPC call – including caller identity, capabilities invoked, and outcomes.

## A2A governance built into the runtime you already run

## 01/ Kong Agent Gateway

## Unify your A2A governance approach

Proxy and govern all Agent-to-Agent communication through a standardized Agent Gateway. Enforce access controls, policies, and audit logging.

## 02/ LLM & MCP governance

## Govern agentic access to LLMs and MCP servers

Use the same AI Gateway you use for A2A traffic for LLM and MCP governance, too. One gateway. All the native AI traffic. 

## 03/ Full data-path governance

## Govern access to agent context

Yes, you need to govern Agent-to-Agent traffic. Yes, you need to govern LLM and MCP consumption. But you also need to govern the context agents consume, and that means API and event data context, too. Govern it all with Kong. 

## Deploy anywhere your agents run

Agent Gateway runs wherever Kong AI Gateway runs – on-premises, in any cloud, or in hybrid configurations. Your agents aren't constrained to one environment, and neither is your governance layer.

### Dedicated cloud gateways

Deploy through Kong Konnect for fully managed control plane infrastructure. Get up and running in minutes with enterprise-grade SLAs and global availability

### Self-hosted

Run the full Kong AI Gateway stack on your own infrastructure. Complete data residency, air-gap support, and no dependency on external control planes.

### Hybrid

Keep data plane traffic on-premises while using Konnect for control plane management. Ideal for organizations balancing operational simplicity with data sovereignty requirements.
