Productizing AI: Transforming APIs into Governed Agentic Tools on the Google Cloud Agentic Platform

Learn how to build secure, governed, and production-ready AI agents using Apigee and the Google Cloud Agentic Platform. In this session, BAP Solution Specialist Christophe Lalevée demonstrates how to move beyond simple conversational models to autonomous agentic workflows. You’ll explore how Apigee acts as a critical AI Gateway, providing a "Curated Enterprise Truth" to ensure your agents only interact with secure, governed, and action-oriented tools. From semantic caching to Model Context Protocol (MCP) wrappers, this TechTalk provides the architectural roadmap for scaling AI initiatives with absolute confidence. Key Highlights: → The 4 Pillars of an Agent: Understanding the relationship between the Brain (Model), Tools (APIs), Orchestration (Context), and Runtime (Environment). → Curating Enterprise Truth: Learning why not all APIs are "agent-ready" and how to govern a tool registry that protects data privacy and security. → Apigee as the AI Gateway: Technical deep dive into semantic caching, token-based rate limiting, and model failover strategies to optimize performance and FinOps. → Standardizing Tools with MCP: An introduction to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how to create wrappers on top of legacy REST APIs to make them instantly usable by agents. → Spec Boosting for Agents: How to leverage AI to enrich your API documentation, ensuring autonomous agents can discover and execute tools with higher accuracy.
