External links
A curated list of external references that come up across the platform documentation. The links below are external to Tetrate and are subject to change at the upstream sources; if a link breaks, the project name in the surrounding text is usually enough to find the current location through a search engine.
Standards and protocols
| Reference | Purpose |
|---|---|
| OpenAPI Specification | The API description standard used in adjacent integration material |
| OpenID Connect | The OIDC standard used for SSO and SSO-driven role mapping |
| SAML 2.0 | The federated authentication standard used as an alternative to OIDC |
| OpenTelemetry | The observability standard used for trace and metric export |
| OTLP Specification | The wire protocol for OpenTelemetry data |
| Prometheus | The metrics format exposed on the gateway's scrape endpoint |
| Server-Sent Events | The streaming format used by all three supported API surfaces |
| Model Context Protocol | The MCP standard for exposing tools, data sources, and context to AI clients |
Provider documentation
For provider-side concerns (model pricing, rate-limit tiers, API quirks not handled by the gateway's translation layer, and account management), the canonical source is each provider's own documentation.
