NewCore agent identity review
Per-action governance alongside your existing IdP
Agent discovery 8.0 / Per-action policy 9.0 / Agent credentials 8.0
General purpose score 8.65
Where it falls short
- Direct CLI tool calls bypass the MCP gateway today. Validate coverage for each agent runtime.
- Pricing, retention limits and availability by plan are not public.
Documented strengths
- Agent Guardian connects agent identity to an accountable owner. Discovery is described on the Discover page.
- Discover describes agent inventory across connected identity systems. Coverage still depends on integrations.
- Agent Guardian describes policy checks at each action, before tool execution, rather than only after an event.
NewCore is an agent governance layer alongside your existing identity provider. It governs agent actions without changing the IdP role.
