Mintive raises $7 million in its latest round to govern how enterprise agents act

Mintive raised $7 million in its latest round to develop controls for enterprise agents.

Mintive, previously known as MintMCP, announced its new name and $11 million in total funding on October 29. The latest $7 million round was led by Cowboy Ventures. The company sells infrastructure for deploying agents, managing which models and tools they can call, and recording what they do. It says more than 50 customers are paying for the product and that it processes more than 2.5 million agent calls each day. Those counts are the company's own.

A model choice and a tool permission are different controls

The launch describes a model gateway for provider policies and an MCP gateway for tools. A model gateway can restrict which service receives a prompt. A tool gateway can govern whether an agent reads a file or writes to an application. A company that centralizes the first without checking the second can still expose data through a connector.

Mintive also describes scoped, revocable credentials and a monitoring view that links a person to an agent and its action. Consider a shared assistant in a team channel. If it relies on the credentials of the person who installed it, someone else might ask it for information they cannot normally see. A delegation model needs to establish whose access applies on each request and what happens when that access changes.

Where the company's usage figure helps

Agent calls give a sense of the workload flowing through the gateway. The total does not establish how many business tasks those calls completed. One task may generate several calls, including retries or failed attempts. A customer evaluating the product would get a clearer picture by linking calls to a particular workflow and checking whether the activity record identifies the account, permission and tool involved.

The funding and rebrand give Mintive room to expand beyond its original MCP focus. The central test for that wider offering is whether teams can follow an action across services and revoke the authority that allowed it.
