Preview the topics
- A partner API is already managed in Azure API Management, and three Contoso agents need two of its operations as tools, with central rate limits. What should the team do?
- When Contoso’s fare service goes down, every booking agent retries immediately and repeatedly, and the service never gets a chance to recover. What should the tool layer add?
- A partner’s hotel API returns a room price of zero for a luxury suite, and Contoso’s agent offers it to travelers. Which check was missing?
