Peta Core FAQs

Question 1

What is Peta Core and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

Peta Core is a zero-trust Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway and vault designed to secure AI agent interactions. It centrally manages credentials, enforces access policies, and records audit trails for every tool call, acting as '1Password for AI agents'.

Question 2

What are the main benefits for developers using Peta Core?

Accepted Answer

Developers benefit from centralized policy enforcement for authentication, authorization, and rate limiting across MCP servers. They gain secure, server-side credential management, fine-grained access control, event persistence, and comprehensive, database-backed audit trails, simplifying secure AI agent integration.

Question 3

How does Peta Core ensure the security of API keys and secrets?

Accepted Answer

Peta Core uses a server-side, encrypted vault to store API keys and secrets at rest. These credentials are only injected at execution time, and agents receive short-lived Peta agent tokens, preventing raw secrets from being embedded in prompts or client configurations.

Question 4

Does Peta Core support human approval for sensitive AI agent operations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Peta Core features human-in-the-loop approvals. Policy rules can mark specific tools as requiring approval, pausing execution and sending a request to a human for review before the high-risk operation proceeds.

Question 5

What is transparent MCP proxying and how does Peta Core utilize it?

Accepted Answer

Transparent MCP proxying means Peta Core acts as an MCP server to clients (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) and an MCP client to downstream servers. This allows it to enforce policies, route requests, and manage credentials seamlessly within the existing MCP ecosystem without requiring custom extensions.
