FAQ

Questions Kong owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I use this server to manage Kong's AI Proxy plugin?

    Absolutely. The create_ai_plugin capability is specifically designed to inject the ai-proxy plugin onto Services. You can define providers like OpenAI or Anthropic and manage model routing directly through your agent.

  • 02

    How do I create a new API route through a conversation?

    Use the create_route capability and provide a JSON payload defining the paths and the Service ID it should point to. Your agent will handle the Admin API call to provision the routing rule instantly.

  • 03

    Can my agent generate new API keys for consumers?

    Yes. The create_consumer_key capability allows you to provision new credentials for specific Consumers. This is perfect for onboarding new tenants or rotating keys for downstream applications securely.
