API Management — .NET SDK Quick Reference

Condensed from azure-mgmt-apimanagement-dotnet. Full patterns (service creation, APIs, products, policies, users, gateways, backends) in the azure-mgmt-apimanagement-dotnet plugin skill if installed.

Install

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.ApiManagement dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Quick Start

Auth: DefaultAzureCredential is for local development. See auth-best-practices.md for production patterns.

using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.Identity;
var armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());

Best Practices

  • Use WaitUntil.Completed for operations that must finish before proceeding
  • Use WaitUntil.Started for long operations like service creation (30+ min)
  • Use DefaultAzureCredential for local development only. In production, use ManagedIdentityCredential — see auth-best-practices.md
  • Handle RequestFailedException for ARM API errors
  • Use CreateOrUpdateAsync for idempotent operations
  • Navigate hierarchy via Get* methods (e.g., service.GetApis())
  • Policy format — use XML format for policies; JSON is also supported
  • Service creation — Developer SKU is fastest for testing (~15-30 min)

What it does

Configures Azure API Management as a gateway to enforce semantic caching, token limits, content safety, and rate limiting across AI models, MCP tools, and agents. Use this skill to add Azure OpenAI or AI Foundry backends, apply LLM governance policies, and test the gateway with curl or Azure CLI.

Frequently asked

Does this skill work with models other than Azure OpenAI?
Yes. The skill configures Azure API Management to govern any AI model backend, including AI Foundry models. You add backends via the `az apim backend create` command.
Can I use this skill to rate-limit MCP tools?
Yes. The skill includes the `rate-limit-by-key` policy for protecting MCP tools and APIs from overuse.
What do I need installed to use this skill?
You need the Azure CLI (az) installed and configured. The skill also assumes Azure API Management is already deployed; use the azure-prepare skill to deploy APIM first if needed.
Does this skill provide content safety and jailbreak detection?
Yes. The skill includes the `llm-content-safety` policy for filtering harmful content and detecting jailbreak attempts on AI agents.
Can semantic caching really save that much on API costs?
The skill documents 60-80% cost savings using the `azure-openai-semantic-cache-lookup` and `azure-openai-semantic-cache-store` policies, though actual savings depend on request patterns and cache hit rates.
