Description
Obol is a control plane for agent traffic. Connect models and MCP tools through one virtual key, apply policies before calls execute, and review audit trails and receipts with explicit evidence classes. Keep your agent runtime and vendor accounts. Obol verifies agent tool calls with webhooks and read back for writes. Invitation-only: request early access at tryobol.dev.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an enterprise API gateway and proxy that enforces granular Cedar/CEL policies, credential vaulting, and streamable MCP tool execution requires rigorous systems and security engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves a high-performance reverse proxy (e.g., Rust/Go with Envoy or Axum), integrating Cedar or Common Expression Language (CEL) policy engines, a secret management vault, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) stream processors. The challenging part is low-latency streaming proxying, deterministic audit trail receipts with cryptographic evidence classes, and fail-closed stateful budget tracking across concurrent agentic tool calls.
