Azure AI Gateway

Configure Azure API Management (APIM) as an AI Gateway for governing AI models, MCP tools, and agents.

To deploy APIM, use the azure-prepare skill. See APIM deployment guide.

When to Use This Skill

Category	Triggers
Model Governance	"semantic caching", "token limits", "load balance AI", "track token usage"
Tool Governance	"rate limit MCP", "protect my tools", "configure my tool", "convert API to MCP"
Agent Governance	"content safety", "jailbreak detection", "filter harmful content"
Configuration	"add Azure OpenAI backend", "configure my model", "add AI Foundry model"
Testing	"test AI gateway", "call OpenAI through gateway"

Quick Reference

Policy	Purpose	Details
`azure-openai-token-limit`	Cost control	Model Policies
`azure-openai-semantic-cache-lookup/store`	60-80% cost savings	Model Policies

# Get gateway URL
az apim show --name <apim-name> --resource-group <rg> --query "gatewayUrl" -o tsv

# List backends (AI models)
az apim backend list --service-name <apim-name> --resource-group <rg> \
  --query "[].{id:name, url:url}" -o table

# Get subscription key
az apim subscription keys list \
  --service-name <apim-name> --resource-group <rg> --subscription-id <sub-id>

GATEWAY_URL=$(az apim show --name <apim-name> --resource-group <rg> --query "gatewayUrl" -o tsv)

curl -X POST "${GATEWAY_URL}/openai/deployments/<deployment>/chat/completions?api-version=2024-02-01" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <key>" \
  -d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}], "max_tokens": 100}'

# Discover AI resources
az cognitiveservices account list --query "[?kind=='OpenAI']" -o table

# Create backend
az apim backend create --service-name <apim> --resource-group <rg> \
  --backend-id openai-backend --protocol http --url "https://<aoai>.openai.azure.com/openai"

# Grant access (managed identity)
az role assignment create --assignee <apim-principal-id> \
  --role "Cognitive Services User" --scope <aoai-resource-id>

Issue	Solution
Token limit 429	Increase `tokens-per-minute` or add load balancing
No cache hits	Lower `score-threshold` to 0.7
Content false positives	Increase category thresholds (5-6)
Backend auth 401	Grant APIM "Cognitive Services User" role
