Merge is building an AI-infrastructure stack alongside its unified-API core, with Gateway emerging as a safety/governance layer.

◆Current state
Merge Unified continues a weekly cadence of API maintenance and connector expansion, with Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP launching for Accounting in beta. Merge Agent Handler — the MCP/agent-tools product — is shipping new connectors almost weekly and added Scoped Access Keys for least-privilege agent runtimes. Merge Gateway, the LLM gateway, just shipped Prompt Injection Protection, DLP, RBAC, audit trails, model pinning, and provider-free routing in back-to-back weeks.
◆Where it's heading
Merge is no longer just a unified-API company. Two adjacent products — Agent Handler and Gateway — are getting the heaviest investment, while Unified gets steady connector and reliability work. The Gateway moves into safety and governance target enterprise AI deployments where native provider safety isn't enough. Agent Handler's connector pace suggests Merge wants to be the default tool-pack provider for agent builders.
◆Prediction
Expect more Gateway governance features (custom DLP rules, broader vendor support, finer role-based controls) and continued weekly connector drops in Agent Handler — most likely targeting enterprise-SaaS gaps. The Unified roadmap may start incorporating agent-shaped endpoints, blurring lines between Unified and Agent Handler.

    Merge Gateway adds prompt-injection protection, DLP, RBAC, and audit trail

    ⚡ SPARK

    Routine Unified maintenance plus a major Gateway release: Prompt Injection Protection, Data Loss Prevention, RBAC, and a full audit trail. Confirms Gateway as Merge's AI safety and governance layer, not a routing proxy.

    Merge ships scoped agent keys and provider-free routing in Gateway

    ⚡ SPARK

    Unified maintenance plus Scoped Access Keys for Agent Handler (short-lived, tool-pack-scoped credentials for least-privilege agent runtimes) and Gateway model pinning, provider-free routing, and three new vendors (Vertex, Baseten, Writer). Both the agent-runtime hardening and Gateway breadth are directional.
