Gateway 5.5.0 feature announcement

Gateway 5.5 introduces native integration with external secrets management systems. Gateway Manager 1.1.1 exposes Gateway 5 database import and export as API-callable methods.

For a complete list of features, enhancements, and bug fixes, see the Gateway 5.5 release notes and the Platform 6.5.0 release notes.

Featured improvements

External secrets

Gateway 5.5 retrieves credentials at runtime from external secrets management systems and never stores the resolved value in the Gateway database or returns it to Platform. Supported providers include HashiCorp Vault (KV Secrets Engine v2), CyberArk CCP, and custom plugins.

The new $GatewaySecret variable reference lets teams use externally managed credentials across Inventory Manager device credentials, Run Code tasks, Python service decorators, and Gateway-executed integrations.

For details, see External Secrets overview.

FlowMCP Gateway

FlowMCP Gateway connects external MCP servers to Itential Platform. It discovers the tools those servers expose and surfaces them in Gateway Manager as native gateway services, making external MCP-based capabilities available to Platform workflows and agents without requiring MCP-specific knowledge on the consumer side.

After you register an MCP server, Gateway automatically connects, queries the server for its available tools and schemas, and exposes the discovered tools in Gateway Manager — ready to invoke from workflows and agents the same way any other gateway service is.

FlowMCP Gateway also extends the tool catalog available to FlowAI agents. MCP-backed gateway services appear in Agent Builder alongside Platform workflows, adapter and integration APIs, Lifecycle Manager actions, Compliance Plans, and other agents.

For details, see FlowMCP Gateway overview.

Gateway Manager 1.1.1

Gateway Manager 1.1.1 ships alongside Gateway 5.5 and introduces DB import and export support. For details, see the Platform 6.5.0 feature announcement.

FlowAI tool execution

Gateway 5.5 adds support for FlowAI tool execution, allowing agents to invoke Gateway services as tools from Agent Builder. For details, see the Platform 6.5.0 feature announcement.

FlowAI requires a separate purchase and Platform 6.5 or later.
