The control plane manages production AI model traffic and agent behavior, adding governance, cost controls, model cataloging, and OAuth 2.1 authentication to govern MCP agent workflows. Portkey says it processes two trillion tokens per day and manages $180 million annualized AI spend across 24,000 organizations.
