Securing AI APIs
AI APIs need more than rate limits. They require policy-aware input controls, output checks, and strict authorization for model and tool access.
Recommended controls
- Strong API auth with scoped tokens
- Per-route authorization and quotas
- Input/output moderation and validation
- Audit logs tied to user and tool actions
