As enterprises embrace AI agents, one truth is clear: intelligent systems are only as strong as the API and agent connections between them. At the same time, those connections are multiplying fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every agent – whether a copilot, workflow assistant or autonomous system – relies on APIs and events to exchange information to act safely. However, managing that growing web of application-to-application (A2A) communication is now one of the biggest challenges in enterprise architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant\u2122 for API Management, Gravitee now brings its expertise in API governance and security to the agentic era. Gravitee API management helps organisations orchestrate and secure interactions between APIs, events and AI agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, Gravitee and Microsoft help organisations co-ordinate and protect the interactions that enable intelligent systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gravitee API management and the evolution of connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gravitee has long supported global enterprises in managing their APIs and event streams. As organisations begin to deploy intelligent agents, those same foundations are helping them extend API management principles into the world of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, instead of manually coding integrations, developers are designing environments where agents can discover, call and combine APIs autonomously. Each agent has defined permissions, costs and data boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without proper governance, however, \u201cagent sprawl\u201d can quickly emerge. This can introduce operational risk, compliance gaps and unpredictable cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These risks aren\u2019t hypothetical. Gravitee research conducted in October 2025 shows that 82% of companies have encountered scenarios where agent interaction caused issues, such as data exposure or unapproved system actions. Therefore, robust control must be built in from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus on safe, transparent agent operations aligns with Microsoft\u2019s responsible AI principles<\/a>, which emphasise accountability, reliability and human oversight. Moreover, Gravitee\u2019s Agent Mesh<\/a> helps operationalise those principles – unifying the management of APIs, events and agents to give teams full visibility, policy control and security across all interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governing AI agents with Gravitee API management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional software, AI agents are designed to interpret intent, manage API calls and respond dynamically to user context. This adaptability also demands a new level of control. With Gravitee on Microsoft Azure<\/a>, enterprises can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
