Explanation pages cover the reasoning behind Wicket’s design — tradeoffs, threat models, and conceptual context. Read these when you want to understand why, not just how.

Step-by-step trace of an MCP tool call through the proxy, Cedar evaluation, and upstream. → Request flow

Trust model

Threat model

What Wicket protects against, what it explicitly does not protect against, and the credential security model. → Threat model
