Sentinelgate vs fastapi_mcp

Sentinelgate: SentinelGate is a self-hosted, container-native, zero-lock-in proxy that intercepts every action of an AI agent before it executes, applying deterministic rules to block unauthorized tool calls, shell commands, and file operations. It provides a full audit trail, content scanning, and session-aware policies, and works with any MCP-compatible client or sandbox.; fastapi_mcp: FastAPI-MCP allows you to expose your existing FastAPI endpoints as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. It offers native integration with FastAPI, including built-in authentication using existing dependencies, and preserves schemas and documentation.
