Can the broker skip the gateway?

You can. You will not be able to prove who called what. We will not sign that as production.

What if the broker flags a memory fetch as an attack?

Tighten the cards and the policy. Memory is not prompt injection. If the platform cannot tell, that is a finding.

Agentforce

Not every hop is a model call.

The first week is in the org, reading what already exists. The broker picks a path. Deterministic when the work is known. A model when it is not. Traces on both. The honest no: if the work is a software factory with a named delivery date, we are the wrong partner.

Three modes

Automation. Guided. Agentic.

We will not put a model on a hop that a router already owns.

01
Automation
Known path · No model · Idempotent
02
Guided
A rule · A person · A deterministic router
03
Agentic
A model call · A capability card · A policy at the gateway
04
Observe
Trace the hop · Identity on the trail · Cost on the same trail

Public reference for Agent Broker. Automation is a known path. Guided keeps a person or a rule in the loop. Agentic is a model call with a card and a policy. Observe sits across all three.

The brief

Name the hops that are still a model.

We will mark which ones a router should own.
