Depends

Should I use Akto?

Real-time MCP and AI agent discovery, security testing, red teaming, agentic posture management, and guardrails. - akto.io

· 1 month ago

Built for security teams running many AI agents and MCP servers who need discovery, red teaming, and guardrails in one platform. Small teams with one LLM app should not buy — lighter guardrails or open-source testing tools will do.
