Active·★ 11·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-10-22

SatGate acts as an economic firewall for AI agents, governing their API calls by enforcing scoped authority, budgets, and paid-rail context. It prevents unauthorized spending and resource invocation, integrating seamlessly with existing routing gateways and LLM providers.
