Tetrate, known for its innovation in securing AI agents and microservices, has introduced Tetrate Agent Router Enterprise, a platform designed to standardize and streamline how organizations determine agent readiness. Built on the Envoy AI Gateway which Tetrate co-created and continues to maintain the new solution orchestrates how AI agents are developed, governed, and certified as “complete” before deployment at scale.
Over the last two years, enterprises have created hundreds of AI agents. Although many of them immediately operate on production data and link to mission-critical systems, only a small portion are considered fully complete. As a result, leadership teams are pushing harder for measurable outcomes, predictable performance, and reliable automation rather than one-off demos.

The Core Issue: Agents Operate Continuously but Rarely Reach Completion
AI agents do not follow the traditional software development lifecycle. They often interact with real-time data and execute impactful actions with minimal human intervention. Therefore, the challenge isn’t deploying them it’s building trust.
Engineering leaders are feeling this pressure. Developers are building agents using different models, disconnected tools, and informal practices. Meanwhile, executives want consistent behavior, safety guarantees, and clear demonstrations of business value. Consequently, organizations face duplicated effort, slower release cycles, inconsistent agent performance, and a persistent barrier that prevents agents from moving from being “in use” to being fully production-ready.
Tetrate emphasizes that AI agents fundamentally differ from traditional applications because they can be operational from the start, without progressing through conventional development, testing, and staging environments. Defining what “complete” means becomes the deciding factor between AI success and failure.
“There’s a big difference between an agent that runs and an agent the business can trust,” says David Wang, head of product at Tetrate. “Enterprises need a clear, shared definition of readiness, one based on consistent behavior, safety constraints and measurable impact. Without that finish line, organizations can’t scale AI responsibly.”
Introducing Agent Readiness: The Critical Finish Line
Tetrate describes agent readiness as an organization-wide standard for determining when an AI agent is stable, safe, and effective enough for scaled use. This framework bridges the gap between an agent that simply produces output and one that generates predictable, reliable value.

Agent Router Enterprise supports this readiness through two core capabilities:
1. Develop Agents Consistently
The platform standardizes agent development by using shared patterns and centralized services. Through the unified LLM Gateway, teams gain access to an approved model catalog, centralized credentials instead of scattered API keys, automated fallback capabilities, and cost controls. The MCP Gateway further enhances consistency with a shared tool catalog, authenticated access, and granular tool filtering. Additionally, AI guardrails minimize hallucinations, enforce consistent behavior, and prevent data leakage. These features ensure all agents follow best practices and are built securely for scale.
2. Graduate Agents Confidently
Agent Router Enterprise also offers evidence-based evaluations. Behavioral metrics, guardrail scoring, and reliability dashboards make it easier to define what “complete” truly means and measure quality over time. With visibility into an agent’s real business impact, leadership can confidently certify agents without relying on guesswork. This approach removes repetitive testing, lowers management overhead, and provides a repeatable path for graduating agents from pilot to production.
Accelerated Value, Higher Quality, and Real Impact
By standardizing development and validation, organizations can accelerate release cycles, reduce redundant work, and stabilize behavior using shared guardrails. Moreover, impact dashboards make it possible to clearly demonstrate business value.
Even after an agent reaches completion, continuous monitoring remains essential. AI agents are probabilistic and can drift or change behavior over time, unlike deterministic applications that run consistently for long stretches. Therefore, ongoing evaluations and oversight are necessary to ensure they stay aligned with business goals. Tetrate Agent Router Enterprise offers the metrics teams need to supervise agents effectively long after deployment.
