Hello everyone 👋

Saif Ali Shaik3:38 AMOpen in Slack

I see the roles/persmissions are defined at the archestra dashboard level, over what an user is able and not able to do. Is there a way, I can get it more workflow levels, for example, APIs for disabling access for a user to A2A Gateway or MCP Gateway or LLM Gateway?

Hi team! :rotating_light:

Quick question about MCP Gateway tool policies:

I've set agent-mesh-tools__docker_status to *"Blocked"* in the Tool Policies page, but when I call it through the MCP Gateway, it still executes successfully.

*Setup:*

• Gateway: dac6e444-f791-423b-b724-4df4edae8182

• Profile: Default Profile

• Using Authorization Bearer token

• Endpoint: localhost:9000/v1/mcp/{gateway-id}

*Expected:* Policy violation error

*Actual:* Tool runs normally

Is there an additional step needed to enforce policies? Or should policies only apply to LLM Proxy calls, not direct MCP client calls?

Screenshots attached showing the blocked status in UI.

Thanks!

when using archestra, (e.g. in the archestra-openclaw example docker setup), do you always get the dual-llm-injection-prevention out of the box for every single request?

Hello everyone! Im finding my way around Archestra, its the first time Im using a tool like this. I wanted to install a Google Workspace MCP server, but I'm facing some issues. Is it supported?

I see MCP servers have recommended protocol of OAuth2.1. But if I were to try adding it to Archestra set up using Add MCP Server to the Private Registry, and select OAuth2.0; will the auth work as usual?

when you run the archestra/platform docker container, it seems to auto-start another container, kindest/node:v1.35.0, for the mcp control plane. this is an "interesting" pattern. i prefer having all my containers defined in docker-compose

Hi team — quick question about A2A agents.

I’m calling an agent via A2A (/v1/a2a/{agentId}) and the request reaches the agent, but execution fails with:

“LLM Provider API key not configured. Please configure it in Chat Settings.”

I already added an API key in Chat Settings and MCP tools are working fine.

Do A2A agents require a separate provider/model binding in the Agent config itself?

Thanks 👍

Hello @everyone, this is Oswald. I’m currently an undergraduate student, but I already have some experience working with a Simple MCP Server.

I would really appreciate some guidance on how to get started here, because many of the terms being used feel quite technical to me.

Hi @user, Just checking the participation criteria. Besides integrating Archestra, are there any specific constraints or guidelines we should follow (e.g., required features, demo expectations, judging criteria)?

Hello! I am trying to chat with my LLM, but it tells me "LLM Provider API key not configured. Please configure it in Chat Settings".

I have already configured a Mistral API key in the settings but it still throws me this error.

I checked the logs and it looks like its using Anthropic API by default. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi! That's correct, policies are enforced only when you are connecting via LLMProxy or using Agent.
