25
+ **MCP security gateway.** An inline proxy that sits between an AI agent and its
26
+ MCP servers and enforces security on every call:
27
+
28
+ - **scans `tools/list`** and drops tools whose definitions carry prompt
29
+ injection or hidden unicode (via [bastionsupply](https://github.com/Rinkia/bastionsupply))
30
+ - **enforces a tool allow/deny policy** — the agent can only call what you permit
31
+ - **scans tool-call results** and blocks any that carry indirect prompt
32
+ injection before the agent ever reads them
33
+ - **logs every message** as a JSONL trace for forensics
34
+
35
+ The runtime-enforcement leg of the **bastion family**:

44
+
45
+ ## Install
46
+
47
+ ```bash
48
+ pip install bastiongateway
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ (The PyPI distribution is `bastiongateway`; the import package and `bastiongate`
52
+ CLI keep that name.)
53
+
54
+ ## Use
55
+
56
+ The gate *is* an MCP server to your agent, and a client to the real one. Point
57
+ your MCP client's `command` at the gate and put the real server after `--`:
58
+
59
+ ```jsonc
60
+ // mcp.json
61
+ {
62
+ "mcpServers": {
63
+ "docs": {
64
+ "command": "bastiongate",
65
+ "args": ["run", "--policy", "policy.yaml", "--log", "gate.jsonl",
66
+ "--", "npx", "-y", "@some/mcp-server"]
67
+ }
68
+ }
69
+ }
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ Everything the agent sends flows through the gate to the server and back, with
73
+ the checks applied in between.
74
+
75
+ ### Policy
76
+
77
+ Drop in the same YAML `bastionsupply harden` emits:
78
+
79
+ ```yaml
80
+ default: deny
81
+ allow:
82
+ - get_weather
83
+ - search_docs
84
+ deny:
85
+ - run_command
86
+ # behavior knobs (defaults shown)
87
+ scan_tools: true # scan tools/list
88
+ on_poisoned_tool: block # drop poisoned tools from the listing
89
+ scan_results: true # scan tool-call results
90
+ on_injected_result: block # block results carrying injection
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ So the pipeline is: **scan the server with bastionsupply → `harden` a policy →
94
+ run it live behind bastiongate.**
95
+
96
+ ## Try it
97
+
98
+ ```bash
99
+ bastiongate run --log gate.jsonl -- python examples/echo_server.py
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ The example server offers a poisoned tool and an injected result; the gate drops
103
+ the first and blocks the second. Watch `gate.jsonl`.
104
+
105
+ ## Library
106
+
107
+ ```python
108
+ from bastiongate import Gate, GatePolicy
109
+
110
+ gate = Gate(GatePolicy(deny={"run_command"}))
111
+ forward, reply = gate.handle_client_msg(msg) # agent -> server
112
+ out = gate.handle_server_msg(response) # server -> agent
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ `Gate` is a pure message transform — easy to embed or test.
116
+
117
+ ## Notes
118
+
119
+ - **stdio transport** only for now (the common locally-installed case).
120
+ HTTP/SSE is the next transport.
121
+ - Result scanning reuses bastionsupply's static injection signatures. Swapping
122
+ in agentbastion's `Firewall` (LLM judge, semantic detector, PII scrub) is the
123
+ planned deeper-inspection upgrade.

23
+ ## Install
24
+
25
+ ```bash
26
+ pip install bastiongateway
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ (The PyPI distribution is `bastiongateway`; the import package and `bastiongate`
30

31

32
+ ## Use
33
+
34
+ The gate *is* an MCP server to your agent, and a client to the real one. Point
35
+ your MCP client's `command` at the gate and put the real server after `--`:
36
+
37
+ ```jsonc
38
+ // mcp.json
39
+ {
40
+ "mcpServers": {
41
+ "docs": {
42
+ "command": "bastiongate",
43
+ "args": ["run", "--policy", "policy.yaml", "--log", "gate.jsonl",
44
+ "--", "npx", "-y", "@some/mcp-server"]
45
+ }
46
+ }
47
+ }
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ Everything the agent sends flows through the gate to the server and back, with
51
+ the checks applied in between.
52
+
53
+ ### Policy
54
+
55
+ Drop in the same YAML `bastionsupply harden` emits:
56
+
57
+ ```yaml
58
+ default: deny
59
+ allow:
60
+ - get_weather
61
+ - search_docs
62
+ deny:
63
+ - run_command
64
+ # behavior knobs (defaults shown)
65
+ scan_tools: true # scan tools/list
66
+ on_poisoned_tool: block # drop poisoned tools from the listing
67
+ scan_results: true # scan tool-call results
68
+ on_injected_result: block # block results carrying injection
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ So the pipeline is: **scan the server with bastionsupply → `harden` a policy →
72
+ run it live behind bastiongate.**
73
+
74
+ ## Try it
75
+
76
+ ```bash
77
+ bastiongate run --log gate.jsonl -- python examples/echo_server.py
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ The example server offers a poisoned tool and an injected result; the gate drops
81
+ the first and blocks the second. Watch `gate.jsonl`.
82
+
83
+ ## Library
84
+
85
+ ```python
86
+ from bastiongate import Gate, GatePolicy
87
+
88
+ gate = Gate(GatePolicy(deny={"run_command"}))
89
+ forward, reply = gate.handle_client_msg(msg) # agent -> server
90

25
+ **MCP security gateway.** An inline proxy that sits between an AI agent and its
26
+ MCP servers and enforces security on every call:
27
+
28
+ - **scans `tools/list`** and drops tools whose definitions carry prompt
29
+ injection or hidden unicode (via [bastionsupply](https://github.com/Rinkia/bastionsupply))
30
+ - **enforces a tool allow/deny policy** — the agent can only call what you permit
31
+ - **scans tool-call results** and blocks any that carry indirect prompt
32
+ injection before the agent ever reads them
33
+ - **logs every message** as a JSONL trace for forensics
34
+
35
+ The runtime-enforcement leg of the **bastion family**:
36
+

44
+
45
+ ## Install
46
+
47
+ ```bash
48
+ pip install bastiongateway
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ (The PyPI distribution is `bastiongateway`; the import package and `bastiongate`
52
+ CLI keep that name.)
53
+
54
+ ## Use
55
+
56
+ The gate *is* an MCP server to your agent, and a client to the real one. Point
57
+ your MCP client's `command` at the gate and put the real server after `--`:
58
+
59
+ ```jsonc
60
+ // mcp.json
61
+ {
62
+ "mcpServers": {
63
+ "docs": {
64
+ "command": "bastiongate",
65
+ "args": ["run", "--policy", "policy.yaml", "--log", "gate.jsonl",
66
+ "--", "npx", "-y", "@some/mcp-server"]
67
+ }
68
+ }
69
+ }
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ Everything the agent sends flows through the gate to the server and back, with
73
+ the checks applied in between.
74
+
75
+ ### Policy
76
+
77
+ Drop in the same YAML `bastionsupply harden` emits:
78
+
79
+ ```yaml
80
+ default: deny
81
+ allow:
82
+ - get_weather
83
+ - search_docs
84
+ deny:
85
+ - run_command
86
+ # behavior knobs (defaults shown)
87
+ scan_tools: true # scan tools/list
88
+ on_poisoned_tool: block # drop poisoned tools from the listing
89
+ scan_results: true # scan tool-call results
90
+ on_injected_result: block # block results carrying injection
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ So the pipeline is: **scan the server with bastionsupply → `harden` a policy →
94
+ run it live behind bastiongate.**
95
+
96
+ ## Try it
97
+
98
+ ```bash
99
+ bastiongate run --log gate.jsonl -- python examples/echo_server.py
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ The example server offers a poisoned tool and an injected result; the gate drops
103
+ the first and blocks the second. Watch `gate.jsonl`.
104
+
105
+ ## Library
106
+
107
+ ```python
108
+ from bastiongate import Gate, GatePolicy
109
+
110
+ gate = Gate(GatePolicy(deny={"run_command"}))
111
+ forward, reply = gate.handle_client_msg(msg) # agent -> server
112
+ out = gate.handle_server_msg(response) # server -> agent
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ `Gate` is a pure message transform — easy to embed or test.
116
+
117
+ ## Notes
118
+
119
+ - **stdio transport** only for now (the common locally-installed case).
120
+ HTTP/SSE is the next transport.
121
+ - Result scanning reuses bastionsupply's static injection signatures. Swapping
122
+ in agentbastion's `Firewall` (LLM judge, semantic detector, PII scrub) is the
123
+ planned deeper-inspection upgrade.
