Do we need Agent Fabric for one Agentforce agent?

Not yet. It pays off when several agents share ERP or CRM access and you need one policy and one audit log.

How does this relate to MCP and A2A?

Agent Fabric is the control plane. MCP is how an agent reaches a system. A2A is how agents reach each other. Flex Gateway is where those calls are identified and logged.

MuleSoft Agent Fabric

See and govern every agent that touches Salesforce.

The first week is in the org, reading what already exists. Agent Fabric inventories agents, MCP, and policies. Flex Gateway is still the front door. The honest no: if the work is a software factory with a named delivery date, we are the wrong partner.

Dreamforce session

Control plane

See every agent. Enforce policy. Keep the trail.

If you cannot name the agents, you do not have a fabric. You have a demo.

The split

Fabric is the plane. Flex Gateway is the edge.

01
Fabric
Who exists, what they may call, which policy family applies.
02
Gateway
Enforce it. On-behalf-of, MCP hosting, LLM proxy, semantic checks.
03
Tools and models
Hosted and proxied. Not a shared key in the agent prompt.
04
Record
Salesforce, ERP, files. Fabric does not become the warehouse.

Agent Fabric inventories and policies. Flex Gateway enforces. MCP and model calls still go through the gateway. The store of record stays the store of record.
