From ML platform to AI governance.
TrueFoundry is a strong ML deployment platform with an AI gateway and MCP gateway bolted on. DVARA is purpose-built for AI governance — with Policy-as-Code, argument-level MCP governance, tamper-evident signed audit, and compliance reporting that a platform tool cannot match.

| Capability-aware route filtering | ✓ | — |
| Circuit breaker per provider | ✓ | ∼ |
| Canary routing + A/B testing | ✓ | — |
TrueFoundry has RBAC and secret management. DVARA has governance for compliance teams, CISOs, and regulated industries.

TrueFoundry ships an MCP gateway too. DVARA goes deeper — argument-level policy, PII on tool-call arguments, agent loop detection with auto-kill, and a unified LLM + MCP session timeline.

TrueFoundry is a good ML platform for teams that need model deployment, training, an LLM gateway, and an MCP gateway in one place. DVARA is the layer you add when deep governance — argument-level policy, tamper-evident signed audit, and agentic kill-switches — becomes non-negotiable. If your auditor or CISO has a formal AI governance requirement, an RBAC-and-tags model is not enough.
