Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agentcore-gateway-tools-policies

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent helps you connect your agent to APIs, MCP servers or Lambda functions through the Gateway, choose outbound authentication (OAuth, API key, IAM) and write Cedar policies that limit which tools are reachable. You get the configuration and the rules.
