Features

  • Per-call check of agent identity and the person it acts for
  • Short-lived, task-scoped access; agent never holds the tool credential
  • Allow, ask or deny on every action
  • Named approver confirms risky calls with device biometrics; no self-approval
  • Policies written in a sentence and replayed against recent real sessions before going live
  • Tools an agent cannot use stay hidden
  • MCP server connection registry with endpoint, owner and environment
  • Agent discovery through read-only integrations, including access paths outside SSO
  • Per-agent revocation through the gateway
  • One audit trail for tool calls, sessions and approvals; denied attempts treated as a threat signal

How does NewCore score on each criterion?

CriterionWeightScoreReasonSource
G1 Identity-bound per-call authorization2510Every tool call passes through the gateway, which identifies the agent and the person behind it and checks the action against policy, keeping agents within that person's permissions.[nc-secure]
G2 Credential brokering2010Access is short-lived and task-scoped, and the agent never holds the tool's own credential.[nc-secure]
G3 Human approval and escalation1510Policies return allow, ask or deny; risky calls go to a named approver who confirms with device biometrics, and an agent can never approve its own action.[nc-govern]
G4 Server registry and discovery108A connection registry records each MCP server's endpoint, owner and environment, and agents are found through read-only integrations without relying on registration.[nc-secure][nc-discover]
G5 Audit evidence109Tool calls, sessions and approvals sit in one audit trail with each call logged against its owner; a SIEM export was not named on the pages read.[nc-govern]
G6 Standards105MCP, SAML and OIDC are named; OAuth 2.1 and Enterprise-Managed Authorization are not named on the pages read.[nc-foundation]
G7 Deployment and buying clarity104Delivered as SaaS with no list price; an AWS Marketplace listing exists and no free tier or self-host option was found.[nc-aws]
