APIs as tools

Turn an API you already have into tools for agents.

The problem

You have an internal or vendor API, but an assistant does not know how to use it and cannot be given uncontrolled access.

How AgentGate solves it

You import the API description (OpenAPI) and define which operations are exposed, with which parameters and for whom. You can also use tools from other MCP servers.

An example

Question

“What is the status of this payment?”

Answer

The tool queries the payments API and returns only the status and the date.

Controls that apply

  • Approved operations only
  • Limits per field
  • Access per group
