azure-aigateway

azure-aigateway is a skill for Claude Code from Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (6,090 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using Azure API Management as a gateway in front of AI models, tools, and agents. A gateway is a controlled entry point that can inspect and manage requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add rate or token limits, response caching, content safety checks, load balancing, or to expose an existing API as an MCP server.
Why use it?
It gives one place to protect AI services, limit usage, filter content, observe traffic, and route requests across backends.

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

azure-aigateway scanned grade A 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 12d 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.

Azure AI Gateway

Bootstrap and configure Azure API Management (APIM) as an AI Gateway for securing, observing, and controlling AI models, tools (MCP Servers), and agents.

Skill Activation Triggers

Use this skill immediately when the user asks to:

  • "Set up a gateway for my model"
  • "Set up a gateway for my tools"
  • "Set up a gateway for my agents"
  • "Add a gateway to my MCP server"
  • "Protect my AI model with a gateway"
  • "Secure my AI agents"
  • "Ratelimit my model requests"
  • "Ratelimit my tool requests"
  • "Limit tokens for my model"
  • "Add rate limiting to my MCP server"
  • "Enable semantic caching for my AI API"
  • "Add content safety to my AI endpoint"
  • "Add my model behind gateway"
  • "Import API from OpenAPI spec"
  • "Add API to gateway from swagger"
  • "Convert my API to MCP"
  • "Expose my API as MCP server"

Key Indicators:

  • User deploying Azure OpenAI, AI Foundry, or other AI models
  • User creating or managing MCP servers
  • User needs token limits, rate limiting, or quota management
  • User wants to cache AI responses to reduce costs
  • User needs content filtering or safety controls
  • User wants load balancing across multiple AI backends

Secondary Triggers (Proactive Recommendations):

  • After model creation: Recommend AI Gateway for security, caching, and token limits
  • After MCP server creation: Recommend AI Gateway for rate limiting, content safety, and auth

Overview

Azure API Management serves as an AI Gateway that provides:

  • Security: Authentication, authorization, and content safety
  • Observability: Token metrics, logging, and monitoring
  • Control: Rate limiting, token limits, and load balancing
  • Optimization: Semantic caching to reduce costs and latency

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 Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 6,090 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
