You govern Foundry tool access by shaping tool surfaces into curated, versioned, and policy-governed toolboxes. This ensures agent tool usage remains small, deterministic, and fully auditable through explicit tool catalog boundaries.

A Foundry toolbox is a curated package of multiple tools exposed to agents with enforced governance policies. You need it when deploying multiple tools to agents and must ensure tool scoping, observability, and explicit catalog boundaries.

You set up RBAC and authentication for a Foundry tool catalog by applying central governance through APIM Gateway policies and managed identities. This enforces policy boundaries and authentication integration across tool usage.

Yes, you can manage tool catalog lifecycles, versioning, and promotion across environments using Foundry governance. It applies governance policies to ensure deterministic tool access and observed policy enforcement during promotion.

The best way to scope tools is by packaging multiple tools into a curated Foundry toolbox with explicit catalog boundaries. Applying governance policies before exposing the toolbox keeps agent tool access small and deterministic.

Foundry tool governance uses APIM Gateway policies to apply central governance through managed identities and RBAC. This integration enforces observed policy boundaries and authentication integration across all tool usage.
