Azure API Management Integration with Prisma AIRS

A policy fragment that can be integrated into an Azure AI Gateway (part of APIM) as part of a larger AI Gateway policy.

Versions

This integration provides two versions of the policy fragment. Choose the one that fits your environment:

Feature v1 v2
OpenAI chat/completions ✅ ✅
OpenAI Responses API ✅ ✅
Anthropic /v1/messages ❌ ✅
Azure AI Foundry Claude ❌ ✅
Streaming/SSE response scanning ❌ ✅
Anthropic tool_result scanning ❌ ✅
Prompt & response masking ✅ ✅
Tool event scanning ✅ ✅
  • v1 — OpenAI-only. Simpler fragment for environments that only use OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
  • v2 — Multi-model. Adds Anthropic and Azure AI Foundry Claude support, plus streaming/SSE response scanning.

Coverage

For detection categories and use cases, see the Prisma AIRS documentation.

v1

Scanning Phase Supported Description
Prompt ✅ Scans user prompts in inbound policy before LLM call
Response ✅ Scans LLM responses in outbound policy with masking support
Streaming ❌ Synchronous scanning with 10-second timeout
Pre-tool call ❌ Not applicable - designed for direct LLM gateway requests
Post-tool call ✅ Tool results scanned as tool_event with tool name, arguments, and output

v2

Scanning Phase Supported Description
Prompt ✅ Scans user prompts (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure AI Foundry Claude)
Response ✅ Scans LLM responses with masking support (all providers)
Streaming ✅ SSE chunk reassembly for OpenAI and Anthropic streaming responses
Pre-tool call ❌ Not applicable - designed for direct LLM gateway requests
Post-tool call ✅ Tool results scanned as tool_event with tool name, arguments, and output

🎯 What This Does

The fragments handle scanning of prompts, responses, and tool events on the following API calls:

  • POST /chat/completions - OpenAI chat completions (v1, v2)
  • POST /responses - OpenAI Responses API (v1, v2)
  • POST /v1/messages - Anthropic direct and Azure AI Foundry Claude (v2 only)

Gemini: Not directly supported, but Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1beta/openai/chat/completions) works with both v1 and v2 since it uses the same chat/completions schema.

Scanning capabilities:

  • User prompts before sending to the LLM
  • LLM responses before returning to the client
  • Tool execution results (when role=tool) before sending back to the LLM

It will return bespoke responses dependent on the category detected.

🚙 Flow

  1. Client sends prompt → Azure AI Gateway
  2. Prompt scanned by Prisma AIRS → Blocks injection attacks, malicious content
  3. If safe → Defined AI LLM generates response
  4. Response scanned by Prisma AIRS → Blocks PII leakage, sensitive data
  5. If LLM requests tool execution → Tool result scanned before sending back to LLM
  6. If safe → Return to client

🎁 Additional Features

  • Customise the responses per detected category
  • Define a different security profile for each scan (prompts, responses, and tool events)
  • Configure tool scanning behavior with scanTools variable (enable/disable)
  • Use dedicated security profiles for tool events via toolProfile variable
  • Group multi-turn communication through a defined header in the request
  • Return masked PII responses if the action is Allow and Masking is enabled
  • Define if the sidecar should FailOpen or FailClosed if Prisma AIRS is not responding or has an error

📊 Architecture

┌────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌────────────┐    ┌──────────┐
│ Client │───▶│   Azure AI  │───▶│ Prisma     │───▶│ Defined  │
│        │◀───│   Gateway   │◀───│ AIRS Scan  │◀───│ AI LLM   │
└────────┘    └─────────────┘    └────────────┘    └──────────┘
              Dual Scanning:       ↑ Prompt          (MI/Key)
              - Prompt (Inbound)   ↓ Response
              - Response (Outbound)

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Operational AI Gateway pre-defined connected to your LLM
  • Minimum role: Contributor on resource group/subscription to edit the policy of the AI Gateway. No special Azure AD/Entra permissions beyond standard Contributor
  • Prisma AIRS API key from Strata Cloud Manager. Saved as the named value airs-api under teh API of your AI Gateway
  • Prisma AIRS Security Profile within Strata Cloud Manager. Define with your own naming convention, or have a profile called example-profile

Session Tracking

The policy fragment automatically tracks multi-turn conversations (including tool calls) under the same session in AIRS:

Automatic tracking (no configuration needed):

  • Generates a stable session ID from: user IP + system message + first user message
  • All requests in the same conversation get the same session_id
  • Works seamlessly across multiple HTTP requests (prompt → tool call → tool result → response)

Priority order:

  1. x-session-id header (recommended for production) - Guarantees unique sessions
  2. Conversation hash (automatic) - Best-effort tracking based on IP + conversation content
  3. RequestId (fallback) - For non-conversational or simple requests

Known limitations:

  • Same user asking identical questions multiple times may share a session (same IP + same content = same hash)
  • Users behind NAT/proxies with identical prompts may share a session (rare in practice)
  • Recommendation: For production deployments with strict session isolation, clients should send an x-session-id header

Deploy in 5 Steps

  1. Create a Named Value: Create a named value called airs-api with your Prisma AIRS API Key

  2. Create Policy Fragment: Copy the contents of prisma-airs-policy-fragment-v1/panw-airs-scan (OpenAI only) or prisma-airs-policy-fragment-v2/panw-airs-scan-v2 (multi-model) to a new policy fragment. Use the matching fragment ID (panw-airs-scan for v1, panw-airs-scan-v2 for v2).

  3. Configure the AI Gateway inbound policy to call the fragment

        <set-variable name="ScanType" value="prompt" />
        <!-- Optional: Configure tool scanning -->
        <set-variable name="toolProfile" value="tool-security-profile" />
        <set-variable name="scanTools" value="true" />
        <!-- Use panw-airs-scan for v1, panw-airs-scan-v2 for v2 -->
        <include-fragment fragment-id="panw-airs-scan" />
  1. Configure the AI Gateway outbound policy to call the fragment
        <set-variable name="ScanType" value="response" />
        <include-fragment fragment-id="panw-airs-scan" />
  1. Test it: Adjust according to your setup
curl -X POST "https://<YOUR-HOSTNAME>/<YOUR API>/chat/completions" \
  -H "api-key: $AIGW_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are an helpful assistant."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What is the Capital of France??"}],
    "max_tokens": 1000,
    "model": "<YOUR MODEL>"
  }'

📁 What's Included

  • prisma-airs-policy-fragment-v1/panw-airs-scan : Prisma AIRS policy fragment for OpenAI endpoints (chat/completions, responses).
  • prisma-airs-policy-fragment-v2/panw-airs-scan-v2 : Prisma AIRS policy fragment with multi-model support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure AI Foundry Claude) and streaming/SSE scanning.
  • policy-example : An example policy for an LLM API.

🔧 Configuration

Policy fragment is configured in the policy using the following variables:

  • ScanType: (string) "prompt" or "response". Defaults to "prompt".
  • currentProfile: (string) The name of the AIRS profile to use for scanning. Defaults to "example-profile".
  • toolProfile: (string) The name of the AIRS profile to use when scanning tool events. Defaults to currentProfile if not set.
  • scanTools: (boolean) true to scan tool result submissions, false to pass them through. Defaults to true.
  • appName: (string) The name of the application. Defaults to "APIM-Gateway".
  • FailOpen: (boolean) true to allow traffic if the scanner is unavailable, false to block it. Defaults to false.
  • airsDescriptions: (JObject) A JObject containing custom error messages for detected threats. If not provided, the default messages in scanDescriptions will be used.

🔒 Security Features

Authentication

Defined LLM Access: Machine Instance or API Key access stored as a Secret Prisma AIRS: X-Pan-Token header stored as a Secret

Scanning Coverage

  • ✅ Prompt Scanning: Injection attacks, malicious instructions, sensitive data (standard or custom), undesirable URLs, undesirable SQL command types, topic guardrails
  • ✅ Response Scanning: PII Masking (SSN, credit cards), API keys, sensitive data, malicious code, undesirable SQL command types
  • ✅ Tool Event Scanning: Tool execution results scanned for sensitive data, malicious outputs, and policy violations before returning to LLM

Blocking Behavior

  • Controlled Fail State
    • Fail-closed: Blocks requests/response if AIRS is unreachable
    • Fail-open: Continues with request/response if AIRS is unreachable HTTP 403: Returns clear error messages when content is blocked Correlation: Same tr_id for prompt and response scans (enables log correlation)
