Cortega does not change how you build agents. It puts a governance envelope around them, so security, compliance, and legal can approve deployment without blocking development.

Cortega presents a standard /v1/chat/completions interface. To your agents it looks like a model provider.
Same pattern for /v1/messages. Claude-powered agents route through Cortega without code changes.
Cortega proxies MCP tool calls with access control, argument inspection, fingerprinting, and 2025↔2026 protocol bridging.
Develop against the same policy model that governs production. Promote the policy, do not rewrite it.
Every governed request emits OpenTelemetry spans with identity, model, policy decision, and cost. No proprietary format.
Observability records carry full replay context: identity check, policy evaluation, guardrail scan, routing decision, in one view.
From the Cortega console.
Split traffic by weight, fail over automatically when a provider goes down, or route on rules you define.
Reroute on provider failure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and approved private environments. Agents see no error.
The free Model Recommender ranks models against your workload and priorities.
