    Many teams connecting LLMs to external tools eventually encounter the same architectural issue: as more tools and agents are added, the integration pattern becomes an N×M mesh of direct connections. Each agent implements its own auth, retries, rate limiting, and logging; each tool needs credentials distributed to multiple places and observability becomes fragmented. We built LLM gateway with this goal to provide a single place to manage authentication, authorization, routing, and observability for MCP servers, with a path toward a more general agent-gateway architecture in the future. The…

    Hi HN, We’re Daniel and Mark, the creators of TrustGraph (https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/trustgraph). TrustGraph is an open source, full end-to-end AI infrastructure that automates knowledge graph building and querying along with modular agent integration. A unique aspect of TrustGraph is that the graph building is a one-time process that builds reusable knowledge cores that can be stored, shared, and reloaded. You can read more about TrustGraph knowledge cores here (https://trustgraph.ai/docs/cores/). Throughout our careers, we’ve been faced…

    Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing / is allowed to do. The problem:…

    I built AI Trust Proof — an experiment in recording human good faith on-chain so it can be independently verified by people, software, or (eventually) AI systems. What it does (today) - Lets you sign a plain-English pledge and record its signature hash + metadata on Solana (devnet). - Mints a symbolic NFT badge pointing to that record. - Creates a verification page that shows the pledge, signature, and on-chain proof. What it’s not - No token, no airdrops, no yield. - Not a reputation score or KYC. - Currently just one signal: "Pledge signed." Why - If AI systems begin prioritizing who to…

    Hey HN, I’m Chris, a solo dev in Melbourne AU. For the past month I've been spending my after work hours building AgentVisa. I'm both excited (and admittedly nervous) to be sharing it with you all today. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of AI agents and the more I experimented, the more I realized I was building on a fragile foundation. How do we build trust into these systems? How do we know what our agents are doing, and who gave them permission? My long-term vision is to give developers an "Agent Atlas" - a clear map of their agentic workforce, showing where…
