Odile Gate MCP

Read-only local setup plan for native OpenShell + Gate: one command, exact installer hash, recipe schema, prerequisites, authority boundaries and cleanup. Default creates an isolated Free read-only demo with no model or payment. A trusted local controller may configure an owner-authorized API with explicit routes/scope and private credential files. This tool does not run commands, create resources

No parameter schema on file.

Create a Free project in front of an existing HTTPS API. No signup or payment required. For a credential-free demo use https://sandbox.gate.odilelabs.com with GET /customers/:cid/tickets/:id (customer A holds tickets 1-3, B holds 4-5: try GET /customers/A/tickets/1). Returns project_id, admin_key (shown once) and the gateway base URL apps call instead of the API. A real API and its credentials nee

Give one app its own key and the calls it may make. Routes are rules like "GET /orders/:id", "POST /orders", "GET /users/{user}/orders" (per-user), or example calls like "GET /orders/42", which become rules allowing any id. Returns key (shown once), app.id and normalized rules. Send key as Authorization: Bearer <key> to the project gateway; never send the admin key to the workload.

For a project in front of a model API: limit which models one app may ask for (the request body's "model", or a /models/<name> path). Other models are refused with 403 model_not_allowed before the provider sees them. models: null removes the limit.

The project's apps with their allowed calls, limits, state and anomaly-guard settings.

Read actual Gate protection settings before giving an integration production access. Reports observe-only mode, writes without mandatory runs, missing user-token configuration, wildcard grants and approval separation, with evidence, exact remedies and explicit limits. Sends no upstream requests, changes no settings and uses no gateway quota. Configuration-only: not a security certificate or runtim

Read last-24-hour stored call counts by HTTP status and reason, measured duration through response headers (including upstream wait), per-app anomaly scores and 24-hour anomaly counts, and separate current-month gateway usage: plan, used, allowed, plus upgrade URL and checkout path on Free at 80% or above. Only POST the checkout path when the admin asks to upgrade; reading metrics never starts che

The most recent calls through the gateway (time, app, matched route, status, reason, duration), newest first, with totals by status and refusal reason. Gate never stores bodies, query values or headers.

Gate Actions: give one agent session narrow, expiring permission. Actions are rules with {placeholders} bound by scope (e.g. "PATCH /customers/{customer}/tickets/:id" with scope {"customer":"A"}), each with an optional max and approval. Add a human approver with gate_add_approver before granting approval:true actions; without an active approver the grant is refused. Returns a run token (shown once

Make an app need a run: "writes" (every write needs x-odile-run), "all" (every call), or "off".

Opt-in JSON response redaction: return only explicit JSON Pointer paths, e.g. /id and /items/*/name. * matches one segment; selecting a container allows its whole subtree. Applies to every upstream response for this app, including errors. Maximum 1 MiB and 5 seconds to read; invalid/non-JSON responses are withheld. No bodies are stored. A withheld reply never reverses an upstream write. null disab

Create an approver key for the person who approves held actions (shown once), before granting approval actions. Give it to that person, never to an agent. Only an active approver key can approve, reject or reopen actions.

Actions waiting for approval (or in another state), with the exact call. With an installed approval-risk model, pending actions sort by risk descending and include risk (0–1) and risk_features (top two advisory signals). No model means no score and newest first. Only a person decides in the dashboard.

What a Gate refusal means and how to fix it, from the x-gate-refused header value (e.g. route_not_allowed).

Hand a narrower run to another active app in the same project. Uses the parent app key and run token, never the admin key. Scope, expiry, approvals and ancestor budgets stay enforced; maximum depth five.

Read normalized routes and a suggested per-minute limit from an admin-enabled, time-boxed learning session. Records only method, normalized path templates and counts per minute; no query values, raw ids, headers or bodies. Never enables learning or applies rules.

Read chained audit rows, decided-action feature snapshots and anchors with an HMAC-SHA256 signature. No sealed paths/bodies, notes, keys or IPs in the action labels. Legacy actions lack snapshots and are excluded. store_audit=false has no chain. Follow next_from for audit rows and next_actions_after as actions_after for labels (10,000 each). Use API/SDK above the MCP response size limit.

Recompute a pasted export chain and project signature; returns intact or broken_at (one-based row position). Does not approve actions or change permissions.

Read a run and its delegated descendants without tokens.

Read call metadata, approvals and approver names, recovery outcomes and delegated children; no bodies or query values.

Parse and check a declarative Gate config (apps, routes, rate limits, run mode, plugins including anomaly-guard, alerts, approvers) without changing anything. anomaly-guard settings: mode off|alert|strict, z_threshold 2–10, min_minutes 1–30, half_life 5–1440. Returns errors with their path, warnings, and the normalized config.

Make a Gate project match an odile.yaml: creates the project (if no project_id) and missing apps and approvers, applies run mode, loop, learning and anomaly-guard settings and alerts. Example plugin: {name: anomaly-guard, settings: {mode: alert, z_threshold: 4, min_minutes: 3, half_life: 60}}. Never revokes or deletes; differences it cannot apply (an app's routes or rate limit) come back as drift.
