AI Orchestration Governed Querying

Source

AI Orchestration lets users ask questions and perform work through Gateway-managed resources without bypassing endpoint permissions. The goal is to make AI access useful while keeping the same access boundary that governs direct API and gateway traffic.

Querying Model

AI Orchestration should answer questions with the user's effective permissions:

If the user cannot read an endpoint through Gateway, AI Orchestration should not use that endpoint to answer the question.

What AI Orchestration Can Query

AI Orchestration can work with Gateway-managed resources such as:

  • database endpoints,
  • HTTP endpoints,
  • model endpoints,
  • endpoint tools,
  • workflows,
  • templates,
  • and saved conversation context.

The exact actions depend on the endpoint type and the user's data-plane permission.

Model selection is also governed. AI Orchestration may use different model routes for summarization, deep reasoning, local/private execution, or tool-heavy work, but those routes are resolved through Gateway-managed model endpoints and do not change the user's endpoint permissions.

Query Safety Rules

Use these rules when exposing AI Orchestration to customers:

  • Start with read-only access unless the workflow needs writes.
  • Treat generated SQL, commands, or tool calls as untrusted until Gateway checks permissions.
  • Keep mutation tools separate from read tools.
  • Require approval for destructive or high-impact actions.
  • Log which endpoint, tool, and subject were involved.
  • Redact or avoid storing sensitive results when policy requires it.

Customer Readiness Checklist

Before enabling AI Orchestration querying:

  • endpoints are configured and healthy,
  • users have explicit data-plane grants,
  • denied endpoints are tested,
  • sensitive data handling is configured,
  • tool execution metrics are exported,
  • and operators know where AI Orchestration actions appear in logs or audit views.
