Run Workato through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Workato and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Workato tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
