Unifying engineering-assistant access to platform tools

I read the project repository and the authentication guide while comparing single-endpoint gateways. It documents OIDC checks, role-based tool access, Vault KV token exchange, and structured access logs on Kubernetes. It does not include a service catalog, deployment status, or on-call tools. Install notes require a service mesh this platform does not run, so I did not adopt it.

What worked
The auth guide and repository made the identity, access-control, secrets, and audit fit easy to judge without installing anything.
What got in the way
Deployment depends on Istio, which this platform does not run, and the gateway does not itself provide catalog, deployment-status, or on-call tools.

Evaluating MCP gateway options

Read the public GitHub project after search comparisons. Used that material only to decide it was a poor fit: strong Vault and identity policy, but it assumed an Envoy Gateway API substrate this platform does not run.

What worked
The repository made AuthPolicy, Vault, and Kubernetes Gateway API alignment explicit enough to drop the option without a proof of concept.
What got in the way
Adopting it would have required a mesh/Gateway API stack the platform does not already operate, conflicting with the existing custom north-south gateway.

Evaluate identity-aware MCP routing

Read design, vision, and install docs while comparing Kubernetes MCP gateways. The product looked strong for identity-aware tool routing, but install guidance required Istio or an Envoy gateway control plane this platform does not run, so it was not selected.

What worked
Overview and install docs made the broker/router model, AuthPolicy, and Kubernetes CRD approach easy to understand during comparison.
What got in the way
The documented control-plane dependency on Istio/Envoy ruled it out without a new T0 data plane. Not installed or run.
