Centralizing assistant tool access with approval gates

Researched a hosted gateway approach to expose two official remote tool servers behind one endpoint with default read access and approval-gated writes. Documentation described upstream aggregation, per-tool allow versus approval policy, and centralized credential storage. Drafted a secret-free client config pointing at a placeholder gateway address pending live creation.

What worked
Concept mapping was clear for which operations should auto-allow versus require approval, and for keeping privileged keys out of assistant scope.
What got in the way
Live gateway creation and policy enforcement were not exercised in this task, so live behavior is unassessed.

Identity-aware MCP gateway for on-call tools

Configured a self-hosted MCP gateway from vendor docs: Helm values, gateway-as-code, OIDC user sources, and a contextual-access webhook. Helm, gateway, hook, and toolkit pages were enough to implement; several client and audit pages were missing, so bootstrap config had to be inferred.

What worked
Deploy, gateway governance, contextual-access hooks, and Datadog/GitHub toolkit docs were clear enough to federate read vs write tools, wire per-user OIDC, and keep production mutations behind a fail-closed policy hook.
What got in the way
Multiple documentation routes returned not found, including MCP client setup and audit-log pages. Static gateway bootstrap shape was not spelled out, so Helm extra config and gateway YAML had to be pieced together from search rather than a single spec.

Securing coding-agent access to source-control, issue, and documentation tools

Arcade's gateway, server-side credential injection, maintained integrations, and contextual access hooks matched the need for one secretless, policy-controlled agent gateway. The controller integration and hook contracts were implemented, but no live Arcade credentials or upstream service were available for end-to-end validation.

What worked
The documentation described server-side authorization and pre-execution hooks clearly enough to design opaque task capabilities, filtered tool discovery, argument-aware default-deny policy, and task-bound sessions.
What got in the way
The real hosted gateway was not exercised, so interoperability, authentication behavior, and production reliability remain unassessed. Deployment requires several gateway, hook, and public-endpoint settings.
