## What it does
- Protect: budgets, tool-loop hard deny (max_tool_calls), freeze, scopes
- Route: health-aware failover, circuit breakers
- Prove: chaos/DR tests, resilience certificate scorecard
- Drop-ins: OpenAI-compatible /v1, Anthropic Messages, MCP, n8n

## Cold start (10 minutes, Protect needs no keys)
```
git clone https://github.com/landjunge/tollgate.git && cd tollgate
python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e .
./scripts/ten-minute.sh
# Dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:8787/dashboard
```

## Sibling project
- Gnom-Hub (local multi-agent desk): https://landjunge.github.io/gnom-hub-v1/
- Repo: https://github.com/landjunge/gnom-hub-v1

## Positioning (honest)
LiteLLM-style gateways connect models. Tollgate keeps agents in line:
hard denies before the call, freeze, audit, and Prove with chaos + certificate.
