Google patents AI agents that monitor and check API performance
Google describes a system where multiple specialized AI agents work together to manage software interfaces. These agents compare expected performance rules with actual live data to find errors and explain why they happened.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosed technology is directed to apparatus, a system and a method for managing application programming interfaces (APIs) using a network of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. The disclosed technology enables efficient API management by utilizing multiple specialized AI agents working collaboratively, rather than a single agent approach. These agents obtain and analyze API metadata and runtime data to monitor performance, perform compliance checks, and determine root causes through dependency graph analysis. The system maps runtime data to API metadata, performs compliance checks, and enables specialized agents to collaborate through shared memory or storage. When users submit queries, user-facing agents determine their intent and route them to appropriate specialized agents, providing comprehensive insights into API health, potential issues, and their root causes.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method for managing application programming interfaces (APIs) using a network of one or more artificial intelligence (AI) agents, the method comprising: obtaining, with one or more processors by the network of one or more AI agents, API metadata for a plurality of APIs from an API hub; obtaining, with the one or more processors, API runtime data indicating actual performance metrics of the plurality of APIs; mapping, with the one or more processors, the API runtime data to corresponding API metadata; performing, with the one or more processors, compliance checks by identifying differences between API performance specified in the API metadata and actual performance; and generating, with the one or more processors, a response based on analysis of the compliance check.
