When NOT to use gateway
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if you are looking for cloud-managed services, as this tool is designed solely for local or self-hosted environments
- Not suitable if you require extensive customization beyond the provided policies.yaml file and predefined guardrails for content moderation and security
