The Linux Foundation announced its latest AI infrastructure project: Agentgateway, the first AI-native proxy designed specifically for governing communication between AI agents, tools, and large language models in enterprise environments.

The initiative addresses a critical gap as enterprise AI agent deployments scale—existing API gateways weren’t architected for the unique protocols and patterns that define modern agent-to-agent communication.

The Enterprise AI Communication Bottleneck

Current enterprise deployments struggle with a fundamental infrastructure problem: traditional API gateways predate the agent era and lack native support for emerging AI protocols like Agent2Agent (A2A) and Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP).
