SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the management and governance of AI models and tools by configuring Azure API Management (APIM) as a central AI Gateway.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI Model Governance: Enforce policies for semantic caching, token limits, content safety, and load balancing for AI models.
  • Tool Governance: Apply rate limiting and other controls to Machine Completion Platform (MCP) tools.
  • Agent Governance: Implement content safety and jailbreak detection for AI agents.
  • Configuration & Testing: Simplify adding AI backends, testing gateways, and managing LLM policies.
  • Use Case: Securely expose your Azure OpenAI models through APIM, applying token limits to control costs and content safety filters to prevent harmful outputs, while also enabling semantic caching for faster responses to common queries.

Quick Start

Configure Azure API Management as an AI Gateway by adding an Azure OpenAI backend.

FAQPage Schema
How do I govern AI models and enforce token limits using Azure API Management?

To govern AI models and enforce token limits using Azure API Management, you configure APIM as a central AI Gateway. This setup applies policies for semantic caching, token limits, content safety, and load balancing to control model usage and operational costs.

How do I add an Azure OpenAI backend to an Azure API Management AI Gateway?

Adding an Azure OpenAI backend to an Azure API Management AI Gateway involves using Azure CLI for configuration and testing. This process registers the model as a backend, allowing you to apply governance policies like semantic caching and content safety.

Can I apply rate limiting to MCP tools through Azure APIM?

Yes, you can apply rate limiting to Machine Completion Platform (MCP) tools through Azure APIM. Configuring APIM as an AI Gateway enables tool governance, allowing you to enforce rate limits and other controls on MCP tools.

How does Azure APIM detect jailbreaks and enforce content safety for AI agents?

Azure APIM detects jailbreaks and enforces content safety for AI agents by implementing specific governance policies within the AI Gateway configuration. These agent governance features prevent harmful outputs and secure AI interactions.

Do I need Azure CLI to configure an APIM AI Gateway for Azure OpenAI?

Yes, you need Azure CLI to configure an APIM AI Gateway for Azure OpenAI. The Azure CLI is required to execute the configuration scripts, add AI backends, and test the gateway policies for your models and tools.

What is the best way to control Azure OpenAI costs and prevent harmful outputs?

The best way to control Azure OpenAI costs and prevent harmful outputs is configuring Azure APIM as an AI Gateway. This applies semantic caching for faster responses, token limits for cost control, and content safety filters to block harmful outputs.
