# Apono Agentic Gateway

The **Apono Agentic Gateway** brokers requests and tool calls between AI clients and Apono. You can run the gateway locally on each user’s machine or deploy it centrally in your environment.

Both implementations use the same Apono controls:

* Agentic access flows govern temporary access
* MCP intent policies govern tool calls
* Activity is recorded on the AI Agents and AI Sessions tabs.

The following table explains the difference between the implementations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apono.io/docs/agent-privilege-guard/apono-agentic-gateway.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
