  Cakewalk is the agentic access management platform for fast-moving companies,
  combining a granular identity governance and administration (IGA) platform
  with AI-driven workflows. Cakewalk governs access for both human identities
  and AI agents: its MCP Gateway routes every AI agent tool call through a
  runtime policy engine with credential mediation, least-privilege enforcement,
  and a complete audit trail, while its human access management handles
  joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, access requests, access reviews, and
  auto-provisioning via its Agent Cake provisioning agent. The Cakewalk Open API
  and hosted MCP server let developers manage users, groups, work apps,
  accesses, requests, and tasks programmatically. Founded in 2022 and backed by
  Seedcamp, Fly Ventures, and Possible Ventures.

  description: >-
    The Cakewalk Open API is a REST API for building custom access-governance
    workflows and integrations. It exposes users, user groups, work apps,
    accesses, permission levels, requests, tasks, policies, and access reviews.
    Authentication uses X-API-KEY and X-API-SECRET headers; responses use
    cursor-based JSON:API-style pagination and RFC 7807 ProblemDetails errors,
    with a 1,000 requests-per-minute rate limit. A hosted MCP server and signed
    webhooks complete the developer surface.
