Concepts and Architecture

This section explains the resource model, identity and policy decisions, and how the platform components work together. It is useful before designing a deployment, choosing access rules, or contributing a change.

Recommended reading order

1. Core Concepts: servers, grants, sessions, trust, side effects, gateways, and adapters.
2. Identity and Authorization: platform login, human and agent identity, delegated access, session lifetime, and enforcement.
3. Architecture: control, runtime, policy, and observability planes and the paths between their components.

Put the model to work

• Server and Client Guides: publish a server and authorize client access.
• Deployment and Operations: host the platform and understand the public example.
• CLI and API Reference: exact commands, resource fields, and endpoint contracts.
• Implementation Details: source packages, reconciliation, and request flows.
