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.

API risks

  • Abuse of high-cost model endpoints
  • Prompt and payload injection
  • Cross-tenant data exposure
  • Unbounded tool execution from outputs

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
