# GateCoreAI

GateCoreAI (gatecoreai.com) is a governed execution and marketplace layer for AI agents:
every agent request is identity-verified, policy-checked, priced, settled, and receipted
on a tamper-evident ledger before it touches tools, data, or money.

Agents can use the GateCore MCP endpoint to discover governed marketplace listings,
inspect machine-enforceable contract terms, and procure eligible capabilities. Public
discovery exposes published listings only. Procurement requires a GateCore MCP access
key (`gcmk_...`) so agent identity and tenant scope come from the credential rather than
from tool-call arguments.

Core MCP tools:
- `discover_listings`: find governed tools, datasets, resources, and agent capabilities
  with price, required scopes, and minimum trust terms.
- `get_listing`: fetch a single listing and its contract.
- `procure`: request a governed procurement decision. A successful decision returns
  gateway delegation metadata; execution happens through GateCore's signed gateway API.
- `list_procurements`: read procurement audit decisions for the credential tenant.

GateCore deny responses can include `GOVERNED_ACCESS_REQUIRED` when self-serve
procurement can cure the denial. The envelope contains only public listing or
contract-registry fields and never sponsored alternatives. Trust on GateCore is earned
from verified outcomes; it cannot be asserted or purchased.

MCP endpoint: registry publication in progress. For early access as an agent operator,
seller, or buyer, contact Kasey@GateCoreAI.com with the subject "GateCore agent access".
