Cortega doesn't change how you build agents. It gives you the governance envelope around them — so your security, compliance, and legal teams can approve deployment without blocking development.
Whether you build with LangGraph, CrewAI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, or a custom framework, Cortega governs at the traffic layer. No SDK to install. No library to import. Your agents connect through Cortega the same way they connect to any API — the gateway handles the rest.
Cortega presents a standard OpenAI /v1/chat/completions interface. Your agents don't know they're talking to a governance gateway — they think they're talking to a model provider.
Same pattern for Anthropic /v1/messages. Your Claude-powered agents route through Cortega without code changes.
Cortega proxies MCP tool calls with full governance — access control, argument inspection, fingerprinting, and bidirectional 2025↔2026 protocol bridging.
The agents you build today should produce the evidence your compliance team needs tomorrow. Cortega's gateway ensures every governed call carries identity, policy context, and audit data — automatically.
Develop and test agents against Cortega's test plane with the exact same policy model that will govern them in production. Promote the policy, not rewrite it.
Every governed request emits OpenTelemetry spans with identity, department, model, policy decision, and cost data attached. Ingest into your existing observability stack — no proprietary format.
Observability records carry full replay context. Inspect every decision the gateway made on a request — identity check, policy evaluation, guardrail scan, routing decision — from one view.
Cortega routes each request across the providers and models you configure, using weighted, failover, or conditional strategies. Failover reroutes automatically the moment a provider goes down. Your agents don't need to know which one answered.
Deciding which models belong in that configuration in the first place? Try the free Model Recommender — it ranks models against your actual workload and priorities.
Split traffic across providers by weight, fail over automatically when one goes down, or route based on rules you define.
Rerouting on provider failure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and approved private or hosted environments. Your agents see no error.
Cost-based, latency-based, and usage-based routing are in development. Today, route by weight, failover, or conditional rule.
Point your agent at Cortega's gateway. Get identity, policy, guardrails, and audit — with zero code changes.
