- [Binds](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/binds.md): Configure the TCP ports agentgateway listens on and the listeners attached to each port.
- [LLM context](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/cel/llm-context.md): CEL reference for the llm context object — model, token counts, prompt, completion, and parameters available for AI backend policies.
- [MCP context](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/cel/mcp-context.md): CEL reference for the mcp context object — tools, prompts, and resources available for MCP authorization rules.
- [CEL reference overview](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/cel/overview.md): Common Expression Language (CEL) in Agentgateway: where it is used, what context is available, and how to write expressions.
- [Request context](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/cel/request-context.md): CEL reference for request, response, source, env, jwt, apiKey, basicAuth, backend, and metadata context objects.
- [Listeners](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/listeners.md): Configure how agentgateway accepts and classifies incoming connections on a port.
- [Local configuration](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/local-config.md): The runtime configuration structure — binds, listeners, routes, and backends — loaded from a YAML or JSON file with automatic hot reload.
- [Configuration reference overview](https://mintlify.wiki/agentgateway/agentgateway/reference/overview.md): Understand how Agentgateway's three-layer configuration system works, and where each setting belongs.
