Use cases

Real agents. Real actions. One gate.

These aren’t hypotheticals — each is a pattern shipping today, from GitHub Copilot’s coding agent to Stripe’s payment toolkit to PostHog’s SQL copilot. Pick one: every page walks the case step by step, with the real command and exactly what MCPIP returns — including the attack that gets denied.

How the gate works →
GitHubPlatform / DevEx

Coding agents with production access

An autonomous coding agent opens PRs, runs CI, and can deploy or run migrations. The risk isn’t the code it writes — it’s the deploy hooks, CI secrets, and cloud credentials the pipeline can reach.

SalesforceSupport Ops / CX

Support agents that issue refunds

A support agent resolves tickets and can issue refunds, apply credits, and update the CRM. Every inbound message is untrusted input aimed at something that can move money.

PostHogData platform

Data agents with warehouse write access

An in-product analytics agent writes SQL, edits dashboards, and toggles feature flags against your warehouse — the pattern every analytics tool now ships.

walk the case →
Kubernetes ecosystemSRE / Reliability

Ops agents that restart services and scale infra

An on-call agent reads alerts and can restart pods, scale deployments, drain nodes, or roll back releases through cloud and orchestration tools.

walk the case →
StripeFinance Engineering

Back-office agents that move money

An agent reconciles invoices, posts journal entries, and initiates vendor payments — actions that are effectively irreversible once they clear.

walk the case →
OpenAIEnterprise IT / Security

Computer-use agents on internal apps

A computer-use agent drives a browser — clicking, typing, and filling forms across web apps, including your internal admin panels and partner portals.

AnthropicEnterprise SaaS / Security

RAG agents across tenant boundaries

One retrieval agent answers questions over many customers’ documents, calling search and fetch tools against shared indexes.

AnthropicAI Platform / Security

Untrusted tools from an MCP marketplace

A team lets its agents install and call third-party MCP tools — code shipped by unknown vendors and updated on the vendor’s schedule, not yours.

walk the case →
Google / Linux FoundationAgent Orchestration

Multi-agent systems that call each other

A supervisor agent delegates to specialists that in turn invoke one another’s tools over an agent-to-agent (A2A) protocol. Authority has to survive every hop without inflating.

walk the case →
AWSCloud Platform / IAM

Agents that act on AWS

An agent writes to DynamoDB, drops files in S3, or triggers Lambda — today that usually means a long-lived IAM access key sitting in the agent’s environment.

walk the case →
Okta + EntroSecurity / IAM

Complements your identity & secrets stack

You already run an identity provider and a secrets / non-human-identity platform — they issue the agent’s token and govern which credentials exist. Neither decides whether a given agent action should run, or proves that it did.

walk the case →
AICPACompliance / GRC

Audit evidence for autonomous agents

An auditor asks the question no one has a clean answer to: what governs your autonomous agents, and can you prove what each one did and who authorized it?

walk the case →
BlockPlatform / Security

Agents that work alongside people in a shared workspace

Agent workspaces put humans and AI agents in the same channels, each with their own cryptographic identity. Membership is the permission boundary — right for a conversation, far too coarse for a wire transfer. The workspace decides who is in the room; something else has to decide what they may do to production.

Your agent isn’t on this list? The shape is the same.

If an agent can reach a system that can’t tell it no, it belongs behind MCPIP. Bring the highest-consequence action you’re nervous about automating — we’ll walk the gate for it.
