Somebody else’s API, safely on your menu
Blog post from Tyk
Tyk AI Studio provides a governed workflow for adding internally developed APIs as AI-accessible tools, intended to prevent unmanaged “shadow AI” integrations. Contributors first accept configurable attestation terms, submit an OpenAPI-defined tool, choose which operations to expose, propose a privacy score with justification, and provide support details, while administrators review the submission, test connectivity, set the final privacy rating, and retain an audit history. Approval creates the tool but does not make it available; an administrator must separately add it to a selected catalog, allowing publication to be controlled by team or audience. Developers can then request an application using the published tool, after which its credential requires administrative approval and gateway configuration must be pushed before use. The process emphasizes distinct responsibilities for API scope, privacy policy, publication, credentials, and access, producing a traceable and revocable alternative to privately wired integrations.
