Arcade Warp Pipes: Connect AI Agents Securely to Your Private Tools
Blog post from Arcade
AI agents require access to an organization's private tools, which often reside behind secure, internal networks, posing challenges in networking and governance. While major AI platforms like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cloudflare have developed solutions to tackle the networking issue by enabling AI clients to connect to internal tools without opening inbound ports, they typically leave governance—such as authentication, credential management, and access control—up to the user. Arcade Warp Pipes offers a managed service that addresses both networking and governance by connecting external AI clients to private tools through a secure, outbound connection, maintaining internal network security, and handling authentication and access control via the Arcade runtime. This allows organizations to facilitate AI-to-tool interactions securely without needing to manage the networking aspect themselves, offering a streamlined solution for integrating AI with internal enterprise tools.
