The Breakdown | API calls and mobile apps

You used an API this morning. Probably before you even got out of bed. That weather app? It's your phone communicating with a server in the cloud — sending a request, getting data back, and displaying it on your screen in seconds. Location. Request format. Expected response. That's the anatomy of an API call. And it's happening constantly across nearly every app on your phone. Hugo Guerrero and Amanda Alcamo break it all down in Episode 2 of The API & AI Breakdown. No jargon. No fluff. Just clarity.

Build Agentic Workflows: Expose API Orchestration as MCP Tools with Kong AI Gateway

Learn how to expose an API orchestration workflow as an MCP server using Kong AI Gateway, configure semantic guardrails, and build an agent with the Volcano SDK. We onboard GPT-4 behind /llm, orchestrate with DataKit, and debug MCP tools in Insomnia—end-to-end without adding server code.

[Workshop 201] Beyond the Gateway: Governing Secure and Observable AI Agents

Join our 201-level session, "Beyond the Gateway: Governing Secure and Observable AI Agents," to move from managing simple AI calls to governing autonomous systems. Building on 101's foundation, this workshop provides the advanced blueprint to secure agent connections with granular, identity-aware policies and robust tool-use governance, ensuring you control what agents can access and which actions they can perform. We'll also dive into how to observe these autonomous interactions, using real-time behavior tracing and cost analysis to maintain performance and compliance.
