Orchestrates a three-party authentication handshake between an Agent, Gateway, and Guardian using MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool calls. The SDK manages the state machine for credential exchange, signature verification, and mutual authentication across distributed parties without centralizing trust. Implements a request-response pattern where the Agent initiates calls through the Gateway, which delegates verification to the Guardian, then returns authenticated tokens back through the MCP channel.
Unique: Implements a trilateral handshake pattern specifically designed for MCP tool calls, where authentication state is managed across three independent parties without a central authority. Uses MCP's native tool registry to define authentication endpoints, avoiding custom protocol definitions.
vs alternatives: Differs from OAuth2/OIDC by eliminating the central authorization server and distributing trust across Gateway and Guardian; differs from mutual TLS by operating at the application layer within MCP, allowing agent-level granularity.
Routes MCP tool calls from agents through the Gateway with automatic injection of authentication context derived from the trilateral handshake. The SDK wraps the native MCP tool invocation mechanism, intercepts calls, appends signed auth tokens to the request metadata, and validates response signatures before returning results to the agent. Implements a middleware pattern that is transparent to the agent's tool-calling logic.
Unique: Implements authentication as a transparent middleware layer within the MCP tool-calling pipeline, using MCP's native metadata mechanism rather than custom headers. Signature verification happens on response, not just request, ensuring bidirectional trust.
vs alternatives: More lightweight than API gateway solutions like Kong because it operates at the SDK level without requiring a separate infrastructure component; more flexible than hardcoded auth headers because it derives credentials from the active session state.
Records detailed audit logs of all authentication events (credential submission, Guardian verification, token generation, session renewal, expiration) with timestamps, actor information, and outcomes. The SDK provides structured logging hooks that emit events at each stage of the trilateral handshake, allowing downstream systems to capture and analyze authentication activity. Implements a pluggable logger interface that supports multiple backends (console, file, remote syslog, cloud logging services).
Unique: Provides pluggable audit logging at each stage of the trilateral handshake with structured event format, allowing organizations to integrate authentication events into their existing logging and monitoring infrastructure. Includes built-in redaction of sensitive data (credentials, tokens).
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than application-level logging because it captures authentication events at the SDK level; more flexible than hardcoded logging because it supports multiple backends through a pluggable interface.
Enables a single agent to authenticate using multiple credentials (e.g., primary API key + backup certificate) and automatically fall back to alternative credentials if the primary credential fails. The SDK maintains a credential chain, attempts authentication with each credential in order, and stops at the first successful authentication. Implements a credential fallback pattern that improves resilience for agents with multiple credential sources.
Unique: Supports credential chains with automatic fallback, allowing agents to authenticate with alternative credentials if the primary credential fails. Tracks which credential succeeded and logs fallback events for audit purposes.
vs alternatives: More resilient than single-credential authentication because it provides fallback paths; more flexible than manual credential switching because fallback is automatic and transparent to the agent.
Enforces fine-grained authorization based on scopes embedded in the authenticated session token. The SDK extracts scopes from the Guardian's verification proof, compares requested tool scopes against authorized scopes, and rejects tool calls that exceed the agent's authorization level. Implements a scope-matching pattern that supports both exact scope matching and wildcard scope patterns (e.g., 'tools:read:*' matches 'tools:read:users' and 'tools:read:data').
Unique: Enforces authorization at the SDK level based on scopes embedded in the Guardian's verification proof, preventing unauthorized tool calls before they reach the Gateway. Supports wildcard scope patterns for flexible permission grouping.
vs alternatives: More granular than binary allow/deny because it supports scope-based permissions; more efficient than server-side authorization checks because it enforces locally without additional round-trips.
Manages the first leg of the trilateral handshake where the Agent submits its credentials to the Gateway via an MCP tool call. The SDK encapsulates the agent's identity (API key, certificate, or token) in a standardized credential envelope, sends it through the Gateway's MCP endpoint, and receives a challenge or intermediate token. Implements credential normalization to support multiple credential types (symmetric keys, asymmetric certificates, OIDC tokens) without requiring the agent to know the Gateway's preferred format.
Unique: Normalizes heterogeneous credential types into a single envelope format before transmission, allowing agents with different credential sources to authenticate without format-specific logic. Uses MCP tool metadata to discover which credential types the Gateway accepts.
vs alternatives: More flexible than fixed-format credential submission because it adapts to the Gateway's capabilities; simpler than building a full credential management system because it focuses only on the exchange phase.
Handles the second leg of the trilateral handshake by forwarding the Gateway's challenge to the Guardian for cryptographic verification. The SDK constructs a verification request containing the agent's credentials, the Gateway's challenge, and metadata about the authentication context, sends it through the Guardian's MCP endpoint, and receives a signed verification proof. Implements a delegation pattern where the Guardian acts as a trusted third party that validates the agent's legitimacy without the Gateway needing to store or verify credentials directly.
Unique: Delegates verification to an independent Guardian service via MCP, creating a cryptographic proof that can be audited and replayed. The Guardian never communicates directly with the agent — all communication flows through the Gateway, maintaining network isolation.
vs alternatives: More trustworthy than Gateway-only verification because it introduces an independent auditor; more scalable than centralized verification because Guardian can be replicated and load-balanced independently of Gateway instances.
Synthesizes a final authenticated session token after both the Gateway and Guardian have validated the agent. The SDK combines the Gateway's intermediate token and the Guardian's verification proof into a single session token that encodes the agent's identity, verified scopes, and expiration time. Implements a token composition pattern where the final token is cryptographically bound to both the Gateway and Guardian's signatures, preventing token forgery or scope escalation.
Unique: Composes a single token from multiple cryptographic proofs (Gateway + Guardian), creating a non-repudiable record of which parties verified the authentication. Token includes verified scopes derived from Guardian's policies, not agent-requested scopes.
vs alternatives: More trustworthy than single-signature tokens because it requires both Gateway and Guardian to have signed; more auditable than opaque tokens because it embeds verification metadata that can be inspected without contacting the issuer.
