SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires az, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you configure Azure API Management (APIM) to act as an AI Gateway, enabling governance and management of AI models, tools, and agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model Governance: Implement semantic caching, token limits, content safety, and load balancing for AI models.
  • Tool Governance: Apply rate limiting, convert APIs to MCP tools, and manage access to tools.
  • Agent Governance: Ensure content safety, detect jailbreak attempts, and filter harmful content.
  • Configuration: Add Azure OpenAI backend, configure AI backend, and set token metrics.
  • Testing: Test AI gateway and call OpenAI through the gateway.
  • Use Case: For a company using Azure OpenAI, this Skill can help set up and manage AI services, ensuring they are secure, cost-effective, and performant.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an AI gateway for Azure OpenAI models?

To set up an AI gateway for Azure OpenAI models, you configure Azure API Management to handle semantic caching, token limiting, content safety, and load balancing. This enables secure and cost-effective management of your AI services.

Can I use Azure API Management to detect jailbreak attempts on AI agents?

Yes, Azure API Management can detect jailbreak attempts on AI agents. The gateway applies agent governance policies to ensure content safety, detect malicious prompts, and filter harmful content before it reaches your backend models.

What is semantic caching in an AI gateway and when do I need it?

Semantic caching in an AI gateway stores responses based on meaning rather than exact text matches. You need it when using Azure OpenAI to reduce redundant API calls, lower operational costs, and improve response latency for similar user queries.

Does configuring model governance with Azure API Management require the Azure CLI?

Yes, configuring model governance with Azure API Management requires the Azure CLI. You use the az command-line interface to add the Azure OpenAI backend, configure AI backend settings, and test the AI gateway functionality.

How do I apply token limits and rate limiting to AI tools?

You apply token limits and rate limiting to AI tools by configuring tool governance policies in Azure API Management. This approach allows you to convert APIs to MCP tools, manage access, and control consumption rates effectively.

What are the limitations of using Azure API Management for AI model governance?

Limitations of using Azure API Management for AI model governance include relying strictly on the Azure CLI for all configuration and testing. Complex semantic caching or load balancing setups may require manual policy XML adjustments beyond standard templates.
