Playground (Agent Gateway → Playground) sends chat traffic through a real consumer on the selected gateway. Policies, routing, and auth behave like production — without leaving the console.

​
Use the Playground

  1. Open TrustGate → Playground.
  2. Choose a consumer (LLM consumers; the picker focuses apps that can chat).
  3. Optionally pick a model — use Auto when the consumer uses load balancing or smart routing.
  4. Send messages. Streaming responses appear in the thread.
  5. Open the info panel for the last turn: Status, Model, Provider, Latency, Tokens, and the policy chain.
Use New session to clear conversation context. Change consumer switches which app identity you are testing as.

What it validates

​
When to use Connect instead

Playground is for interactive checks. For application integration, open the consumer → Connect and copy production snippets (base URL, headers, model field). See Consumers and the Quickstart.
  • Activity — inspect historical requests after traffic flows.
  • Getting started — first-request wizard (uses an internal path; still create a real consumer for apps).
