Do all seven layers have to be MuleSoft?

No. The gateway and the pipes do. Memory can be a graph you already run. The runtime can be Agentforce, or not. We will not force a store into Anypoint to look complete.

What if the broker flags a memory fetch as an attack?

Tighten the cards and the policy. Memory is not prompt injection. If the platform cannot tell, that is a finding, not a reason to turn the gateway off.

MuleSoft agent architecture

Seven layers. One governed path.

The first week is in the org, reading what already exists. Slack, a browser, or a schedule can start the work. The gateway is the front door for every tool call and model call. The honest no: if the work is a software factory with a named delivery date, we are the wrong partner.

Public reference architecture for digital labor on MuleSoft. Interaction to runtime to orchestration to MCP to gateway to memory to systems of record. The gateway is the control point.

What to demand

What must already work before you scale.

If these are missing, you do not have a fabric. You have a demo.

How far

Govern the edge first. Front stores only when proven.

Moving a graph or a warehouse behind a new owner is a one-way door. Front first.
