PlainID Platform - October 2026 Release

The October 2026 Platform release includes product enhancements, UI/UX updates, and bug fixes.

AI Gateway Discovery and Enforcement

PlainID has released a new AI Gateway Discovery and Enforcement pattern with Authorizers for Kong and MS Azure API Management.

PlainID integrates directly into the existing gateway traffic path, providing a low-friction way to discover and govern AI interactions using the infrastructure already handling LLM, MCP, and API traffic. It analyzes AI traffic in real time to identify MCP tools and relevant AI interactions as they pass through the gateway.

No separate discovery agent, sidecar, or service deployment is required in the customer environment.

• The Agent Registry: Notifies users when a connected vendor registry removes an AI agent.

• Policy Discrepancies: Notifies users when an Orchestration Policy falls out of sync with the vendor, whether it's pending deployment, changed on the vendor side, or failed to deploy.
