Access to high quality tools, such as enterprise APIs, is essential for agents to be effective. In addition to traditional API management capabilities, Apigee provides AI gateway related features to govern and optimize your AI traffic while transforming existing services into discoverable tools for your agents.

Apigee can secure, manage, and scale your APIs for agentic systems:

  • Optimize and govern traffic: Enforce AI gateway controls to secure traffic and tools against vulnerabilities, while enforcing compliance policies. Ensure LLM traffic is optimized to run efficiently and is cost-effective.
  • Translate APIs into Tools: Transform existing APIs into agent-optimized tools without writing new code so that agents can discover and interact securely with your enterprise APIs.
  • Enable integrations: Ensure your APIs and tools are discoverable through other agentic platforms.

Govern and secure

Tutorial

Learn how to shield your system from prompt injection and filter inappropriate content before it reaches users or the model.

Guide

Add an OAuth V2 security policy to ensure all requests to your MCP proxy are authenticated and authorized.

Guide

Leverage Apigee's JSON-RPC support for MCP for more granular policy enforcement.

Optimize and reduce costs

Guide

Route requests to different models for different use cases with flexible, policy-driven routing rules.

Tutorial

Reduce costs and improve response latency by serving cached responses for queries that are semantically similar.

Tutorial

Set quota and rate-limits to ensure applications do not exceed token quotas and maintain platform stability.

Translate APIs into Tools

Guide

Automatically generate rich descriptions, schemas and documentation for your APIs to make them more accessible for developers, API consumers, and agents.

Overview

Allow AI assistants and agents to securely discover and invoke your APIs as tools.

Guide

Import, register, and manage MCP APIs and their associated tools directly within API hub.

Enable integrations

Guide

Automatically sync tools and server metadata with Agent Registry.

Guide

Manage the interactions between Dialogflow and your backend services for Contact Center AI.

Guide

Search API hub using natural language. Agents can also use semantic search to find your APIs in API hub.
