RealtimeX AI Gateway
RealtimeX AI Gateway is a built-in plugin that is disabled by default.
It is the fuller governed-terminal runtime in current RealTimeX builds. When enabled and loaded, it can expose:
- governed terminal-agent launch context
- the local proxy used by compatible terminal agents
- plugin-backed catalog, analytics, and local-proxy status for the terminal governance dashboard
Where to configure it
- Open
Settings > Plugins. - Enable
RealtimeX AI Gateway. - Click
Configure.
Current settings
The current configuration form exposes:
Auto-start GatewayEnable Local ProxyLocal Proxy HostLocal Proxy PortGateway HostGateway PortDefault Execution ProviderDefault Execution Base URL
What the local proxy does
When the local proxy is enabled, compatible terminal agents can route governed traffic through the builtin gateway instead of talking directly to an upstream provider.
That is why the host and port settings matter: they define where the governed proxy and internal gateway listeners bind.
Where you see it in the app
The main user-facing surface is the Terminal Agents settings page.
When the gateway is loaded successfully, RealTimeX can use it to render:
- supported terminal-agent catalog data
- governance support state per agent
- plugin-backed analytics
- local-proxy status and activity
Relationship to Terminal Governance
Terminal Governance and RealtimeX AI Gateway are related but not identical.
Terminal Governance provides the dashboard contract for the Terminal Agents page. RealtimeX AI Gateway is the more feature-complete governed runtime because it also exposes launch context and local proxy behavior.
In practice, if RealtimeX AI Gateway is enabled and loaded, the terminal-agent surfaces may show that plugin as the active governance backend.
Good rollout order
- Enable the plugin.
- Keep the default host and port values unless you have a real conflict.
- Confirm whether you want the local proxy on.
- Save the config.
- Reload the plugin.
- Review the
Terminal Agentsdashboard.
Troubleshooting
- If the plugin fails to load, check whether the chosen host or port conflicts with another local service.
- If governed traffic is expected but not showing up, confirm
Enable Local Proxyis on and the plugin is loaded. - If the
Terminal Agentspage falls back to host-only data, reload the plugin and re-check the plugin card state.
