Listen "Agentic APIs Have PTSD"
Episode Synopsis
Your APIs were designed for humans and orderly machines: clean request, tidy response, stateless, rate-limited. Then along came agentic AI—recursive, stateful, jittery little things that retry forever, chain calls together, and dream up new query paths at 3 a.m. The result? Your APIs start looking less like infrastructure and more like trauma patients. Rate limits collapse. Monitoring floods. Security controls meant for human logins don’t make sense when the caller is a bot acting on its own intent. The punchline: enterprises aren’t serving users anymore, they’re serving swarms of other AIs. If you don’t rethink throttling, observability, and runtime policy, your endpoints are going to get steamrolled. Join host Lori MacVittie and F5 guest Connor Hicks to explore how enterprises can adapt and thrive—hit play now to future-proof your APIs!
