# Overview

> The single place to build, register, discover, and govern every AI agent in your organization — whether built on TrueFoundry or running anywhere else.

Teams across your organization are already building AI agents. The problem isn't building them — it's everything that comes after. These show up the moment you go from two agents to twenty:

* **Discoverability** — No shared catalog means duplicated work and word-of-mouth discovery.
* **Access Control** — No consistent way to control who can invoke which agent.
* **Metrics** — No centralized view of which agents are active, how much traffic they handle, or what to invest in.
* **Traces & Logs** — No unified record of what an agent did, when, and who invoked it.
* **Governance** — No central layer to enforce content policies, rate limits, or guardrails.

Agent Registry solves this. It is a single platform where every agent in your organization is registered, discovered, accessed, and governed — regardless of where it runs.

## Types of Agents

There are two ways to add an agent to the registry. Click **Create New Agent** on the Agent Registry page to get started.

  <Card title="TrueFoundry Agent" icon="robot" href="/docs/agent-platform/agent-harness/getting-started">
    Build agents natively on TrueFoundry. The platform handles infrastructure, model routing, tool orchestration, and access control. You focus on the prompt and the tools.

    <br />

    <br />

    <Note>Available on **SaaS** only.</Note>
  </Card>

  <Card title="Remote Agent" icon="globe" href="/docs/agent-platform/agent-registry/remote-agents">
    Register an agent running elsewhere — Bedrock, LangGraph, a custom HTTP service, A2A agents, anything. Point the registry at it, and it gets the same catalog, controls, and observability.

    <br />

    <Info>Available on both **SaaS** and **Self-hosted**.</Info>

## Unified Observability

Every registered agent — whether built on TrueFoundry or running remotely — gets centralized metrics and traces out of the box. Request counts, latency percentiles, error rates, and usage data are all available from a single dashboard.
