Gateway Bookkeeper FAQs

Question 1

How does it handle situations where an MCP tool isn't available?

Accepted Answer

It allows for tightly controlled fallbacks to non-MCP tools only if they are on an approved allowlist and accompanied by a logged justification and approval.

Question 2

Can this skill help with compliance auditing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it generates MCP Compliance Reports that track the percentage of MCP vs. fallback calls, identifies bypass attempts, and highlights gaps in MCP tool coverage.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of Gateway Bookkeeper?

Accepted Answer

It acts as a centralized gateway that forces AI agents to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools instead of direct execution, ensuring all actions are logged and policy-compliant.

Question 4

Why is 'Gateway as the Only MCP Client' important?

Accepted Answer

This architectural constraint prevents agents from bypassing security policies or logging by communicating directly with tool servers, keeping all state and credentials centralized.

Question 5

How does tool routing work within the gateway?

Accepted Answer

Every request goes through a resolution pipeline that classifies intent and matches it against an internal registry of MCP capabilities to find the most secure and efficient tool.
