The Console is Wardin’s off-rail control plane — everything that changes how
requests get handled, as opposed to the Request Path rail,
which only shows you what already happened to a request. Open it from the CONSOLE
button in the header, or the square node next to the six rail diamonds.
Placement rule
Every screen in the product answers exactly one of two questions, and that answer
decides where it lives:
- “What happened to a request?” → a rail stage (INGRESS, POLICY, ROUTE, LEDGER,
EVIDENCE, OUTCOMES).
- “How do requests get handled, or what does the org offer as a capability?” → a
Console section.
A rail stage can still surface a read-only glance of a Console value — for
example, ROUTE shows the live cache similarity threshold and per-key spend — but
changing that value always happens in the Console, never on the rail.
Console groups
Console sections are organized into three groups:
| Group | What it covers |
|---|
| GATEWAY | Everything that shapes how a request is enforced or routed in-path: keys & limits, providers, cache, webhooks. |
| PLATFORM | Capabilities layered on top of the gateway: prompt registry, and future agent-facing surfaces. |
| ORGANIZATION | Tenant-level configuration: org profile, team & roles, billing. |
Shipped vs. roadmap
Every Console section is honestly labeled — a section that isn’t built yet is marked
SOON, never presented as if it were live.
| Section | Group | What it does | Status |
|---|
| Keys & Limits | GATEWAY | Virtual-key lifecycle, rate & spend limits, per-user caps | Shipped |
| Providers | GATEWAY | Upstream credentials (BYOK), failover order, region pinning | Shipped |
| Cache | GATEWAY | Semantic similarity threshold and cache decision policy | Shipped |
| Webhooks | GATEWAY | HMAC-signed delivery of budget/policy/anomaly events | Shipped |
| Prompts | PLATFORM | Prompt registry — versions, labels, playground, run analytics | Shipped |
| Secure Vault | PLATFORM | Encrypted credential store for agents and tools | SOON |
| MCP / Agents | PLATFORM | Agent-tooling gateway — scopes and tool allowlists | SOON |
| Exports | PLATFORM | Data and audit exports — S3, NetSuite, Parquet | SOON |
| Organization | ORGANIZATION | Org name, default budgets, timezone, SSO status | Shipped |
| Team & roles | ORGANIZATION | Members, roles, SSO & SCIM provisioning | Shipped |
| Billing | ORGANIZATION | Plan, invoices, payment method | Shipped |
This table mirrors the Console’s own section index in the app — if a section here says
SOON, the in-product Console shows the same dashed placeholder rather than a working
control.
