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

Absolutely. The `create_ai_plugin` tool 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.

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

Use the `create_route` tool 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.

Can my agent generate new API keys for consumers?

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