azure-aigateway

azure-aigateway is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manu14357/zskills. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,040 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for designing an Azure AI gateway, a central service through which applications send requests to multiple AI models. It covers routing, access rules, usage limits, auditing, and fallback behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route requests among model providers, enforce rate or token limits, record activity for compliance, handle outages, and control AI costs.
Why use it?
It reduces the need for every application to manage model connections and policies separately.

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 C, and why

azure-aigateway scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 11d ago.

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.

Instruction-override phrasinghighPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

Azure AI Gateway

Centralize LLM traffic through a controlled gateway for security, observability, policy enforcement, and cost control.

Use This Skill When

  • The user needs one entry point for multiple models (Azure OpenAI, third-party LLMs, internal models)
  • The user needs to enforce token budgets, rate limits, or SLA policies
  • The user needs centralized auditing and compliance logging
  • The user needs intelligent fallback (model outage handling)
  • The user wants to avoid client-side model management complexity

Context: Gateway Maturity

Immature: Clients call models directly, no centralization
Developing: Basic gateway, simple routing, minimal logging
Managed: Multi-model routing, policy enforcement, token budgets, audit trails → Target
Optimized: Real-time cost optimization, feedback-driven routing, self-healing, ML-based model selection

Required Inputs

  • Model endpoints: Azure OpenAI? Hugging Face? Internal models? Multiple versions?
  • Routing criteria: Latency? Cost? Specific models for specific tasks?
  • Policy requirements: Rate limits? Token budgets? Approval workflows?
  • Scale: Throughput (req/sec)? Concurrent users? Peak vs. average?
  • Compliance: PII redaction? Audit trail retention? Data residency?
  • Cost model: Budget cap? Cost-per-department? Showback?

Decision Tree

What's the primary goal of this gateway?
├─ Cost control → Route to cheaper model if accuracy acceptable
├─ Reliability → Route to alternative model on failure/timeout
├─ Governance → Enforce policies, audit all requests
├─ Performance → Route based on latency SLA
└─ Multi-tenancy → Tenant isolation, quota per tenant

Which models will the gateway route to?
├─ Single model (single Azure OpenAI deployment) → No routing needed
├─ Multiple Azure OpenAI models → Route by task/cost/latency
├─ Multiple providers (Azure OpenAI + third-party) → Handle auth differences
└─ Canary/blue-green (new model test) → Weighted routing

What policy enforcement is needed?
├─ None (simple routing only)
├─ Token budgets (cap usage per user/org)
├─ Rate limits (req/sec, concurrent, bursts)
├─ Approval workflows (route restricted requests for review)
└─ Compliance (PII redaction, output filtering, audit)

How much data volume?
├─ < 100 req/sec → Simple load balancer
├─ 100-1000 req/sec → Async processing, queue buffering
└─ > 1000 req/sec → Distributed gateway, database-backed quotas

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.

azure-aigateway is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 3,040 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (instruction-override phrasing). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
