See the value before you sign the deal
This is what your customer sees once API, AI, and MCP traffic runs through Akamai AI and API Manager: spend under control, full visibility, and proof in the numbers — not promises.
Save money
Stop cost spikes before they reach the bill
Origin compute and LLM tokens are the line items that surprise finance. AAM caps both automatically — dynamic rate limiting absorbs traffic surges, and per-team token budgets halt runaway AI spend with a hard stop, not an overage.
Cost control
Dynamic rate limiting stops origin cost spikes
A traffic surge sends unmetered origin spend through the roof. AAM caps it automatically — before the bill lands.

AI spend visibility
Every token, attributed to a team — under one budget
See exactly which workload drives LLM cost. AAM caps spend per team and halts requests at the ceiling, so a runaway agent can't blow the budget.

Total visibility
Know exactly what every API and agent is doing
The worst way to learn an API is failing is a customer telling you. AAM logs every request, AI call, and MCP tool invocation — attributed to a consumer by default — with real-time analytics and exports to the SIEM you already run.

Faster resolution
Find the slow route in seconds, not hours
When latency climbs, span-level tracing shows precisely where the time went — from the Akamai edge through policy to your origin — so issues get resolved before they become escalations.

Span-level timing across the whole request — pinpoint the slow route instantly instead of guessing.

for REST, GraphQL, MCP, and AI traffic alike
It all runs on Akamai Connected Cloud, behind App & API Protector — so the same trace spans the edge security layer and the gateway in one view.
