Article: Building a Least-Privilege AI Agent Gateway for Infrastructure Automation with MCP, OPA, and Ephemeral Runners
This article presents a least-privilege AI Agent Gateway that places clear controls between AI agents and infrastructure. Agents do not access infrastructure APIs directly. Instead, every request is validated, authorized using policy as code with Open Policy Agent (OPA), and executed in short-lived, isolated environments, with built-in observability using OpenTelemetry.

Rivet Sandbox Agent SDK provides a universal API for coding agents, allowing developers to work with different agent runtimes like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Amp without rewriting their integration for each one. It addresses the fragmentation across agent APIs, session handling, and streaming formats that has historically made agent integrations complex and difficult to maintain.
