AI agent API URL conflicts resolved by gateway configuration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A common issue arises when AI agents incorrectly interact with production environments instead of staging due to how they interpret API specifications. Developers often attempt to fix this by modifying the agent's prompt, but this approach is fragile and can lead to errors when the API specification changes or when different agents handle conflicts inconsistently. The recommended solution is to configure the correct base URL at the gateway level, which acts as an intermediary, ensuring the agent always interacts with the intended environment without needing explicit instructions in its prompt.

    Pin baseUrl in the Gateway, Not in the Agent's Prompt

    <p>The other day an agent I was testing kept hitting production. Not on purpose, not because it was being clever. It was reading the OpenAPI spec we handed it, picking the first entry in the <code>servers</code> array, and going. That entry was <code>https://api.example.com</code…
