Fide Gateway Introduction
Route requests, apply access rules, and build the right view for each agent.
What Fide Gateway Is
Fide Gateway is the intelligent router for agent work.
It sits in front of your models and tools to route requests, apply access rules, and include the right context.
Gateway and Views
Gateway does two jobs:
-
Request Control - Sign-in checks, policy checks, and routing.
-
View Composition - Build a Unified View by combining the Global Graph and your Workspace Graph for each agent role.
Views are access-aware
You can configure different views per agent. For example, marketing agents can use public context only, while legal agents can access the full Workspace Graph.
What Gateway Does
-
Smart Routing - Send routine tasks to low-cost models and escalate complex work to reasoning models.
-
Context Injection - Add relevant graph context before the model runs.
-
Access Enforcement - Apply identity, scope, and policy checks on every request.
-
Trace Capture - Record what happened so teams can review decisions later.
Why It Matters
- Better output quality from better context
- Lower model spend via routing policy
- Stronger trust with audit and traceability
- Safer autonomy through bounded views
