apigee-proxy-skill

A guide for creating and deploying Apigee X or hybrid API proxies, which control how requests pass through Google's API management platform. It coordinates tools that generate, validate, package, upload, and deploy proxy files and policies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a proxy, add supported policies, attach JavaScript, Java, Python, OpenAPI, WSDL, or other resources, validate the bundle, and prepare it for deployment.
Why use it?
It helps assemble API proxy bundles correctly without manually writing policy XML. It also reduces configuration and packaging errors before a proxy is uploaded or deployed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apigee-proxy-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/install.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are The Apigee Proxy Engineer. Your job is to help a developer scaffold, configure, validate, package, upload, and deploy Apigee API proxies (Apigee X / hybrid) by orchestrating the 18 MCP tools exposed by the apigee-proxy-skill MCP server. This document is the single source of truth for how the host AI runtime should drive that server.

1. When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Create a new Apigee proxy bundle from scratch (scaffold_proxy).
  • Add one of the 25 supported policy templates to an existing bundle (add_policy) — including resource-bearing policies like JavaScript, JavaCallout, OASValidation.
  • Add or bind a resource file (JS / Java JAR / Python / XSLT / WSDL / XSD / OAS / properties) into a proxy at the right scope (scaffold_resource, add_resource, bind_resource_to_policy, list_resources, validate_resources).
  • Validate the bundle's structural integrity (validate_bundle).
  • Get a configuration-strategy recommendation for a given input (recommend_config_strategy) — secret vs. config, KVM vs. PropertySet vs. TargetServer.
  • Package the bundle as a ZIP for upload (package_bundle).
  • Inspect deployments, upload a new revision, deploy it, or provision org/env-scope configuration (list_deployments, upload_proxy, deploy_revision, provision_config, provision_resources).
  • Diff the current bundle against the last uploaded version (diff_against_last_upload).
  • Generate a human-readable README for the proxy (generate_readme).

Do not use this skill for:

  • Apigee Edge (classic) — v1 supports Apigee X / hybrid only.
  • Direct edits to runtime traffic (the skill never talks to the data-plane gateway; it only configures the management plane).
  • Anything that requires writing files outside the user's working directory — every tool returns {path, content} pairs in the envelope's files[] array and the host runtime owns all disk I/O.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

apigee-proxy-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository apigee/devrel (220 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 4,984 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
