What is this?

Enterprise AI APIs add API Management, mTLS, per-client rate limits, audit webhooks, and SLA headers on top of basic chat routes. AgentNest exposes partner-facing surfaces through Azure APIM with product subscriptions.

Why should you care?

Global ERP integrators need contractual SLAs, key rotation, and request signing — not a single shared bearer token.

See it live — copy this example

Paste into an ASP.NET Core 8+ / AgentNest project, then run with dotnet run (set your API keys in user-secrets).

<!-- AgentNest APIM policy snippet -->
<policies>
  <inbound>
    <rate-limit-by-key calls="100" renewal-period="60"
      counter-key="@(context.Subscription.Id)" />
    <set-header name="X-AgentNest-Tenant" exists-action="override"
      value="@(context.Request.Headers.GetValueOrDefault("X-Tenant-Id",""))" />
  </inbound>
</policies>

What happened?

APIM rate-limits per subscription key and stamps tenant header before traffic hits AgentNest.Api.
Policies enforce enterprise throttles without code deploys.

Practice next

Deploy AgentNest.Api behind Azure API Management.
Create products: CRM-Partner, Hospital-Internal with distinct limits.
Forward X-Tenant-Id to backend and validate in middleware.
Add JWT validation at APIM before keys for hybrid auth.
Emit SLA breach events when latency exceeds 2s p95.

Remember

Enterprise APIs use APIM for limits, keys, and tenant headers. Separate products per integration partner. Gateway logging complements AgentNest audit tables.
