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?
| Criterion | Weight | Score | Reason | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 Identity-bound per-call authorization | 25 | 10 | Every 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 brokering | 20 | 10 | Access is short-lived and task-scoped, and the agent never holds the tool's own credential. | [nc-secure] |
| G3 Human approval and escalation | 15 | 10 | Policies 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 discovery | 10 | 8 | A 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 evidence | 10 | 9 | Tool 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 Standards | 10 | 5 | MCP, 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 clarity | 10 | 4 | Delivered as SaaS with no list price; an AWS Marketplace listing exists and no free tier or self-host option was found. | [nc-aws] |
| Total | 100 | 8.60 | Sum of score times weight, divided by 100. | |
