API Management for AI: Governing Ingress and Egress Traffic.
summary
Current API stacks ignore outbound AI calls so leaked credentials, unmonitored paid usage and compliance breaches go unnoticed; WSO2 proposes an egress gateway and an AI gateway that enforce credential vaulting, domain whitelists, retries/timeouts and circuit breakers and add model routing (round robin, weighted, failover), token‑based subscriptions, hallucination/content safety guards and semantic caching to cut cost. It also converts REST APIs into discoverable tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) hub with one‑click enrichment, policy enforcement and telemetry showing most used or misused models and providers.
