Single gateway that unifies tool APIs for AI agents

Single gateway that unifies tool APIs for AI agents targets a $7.2B = 1.2M developer teams × $6K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 15% YoY (combination of API management and AI platform adoption growth, industry estimates).

Key trends driving demand: Agent-first applications are increasing demand for reliable tool access — this creates a need for centralized gateways that expose tools consistently to agents.; API proliferation and frequent version churn increase maintenance cost — abstracting connectors reduces engineering overhead and risk.; Enterprises want governance and observability for AI-driven actions — centralized auditing and credential management become procurement criteria.; Shift to managed services and API consumption models reduces appetite for one-off integrations, favoring gateway products that handle billing and SLAs.; Cost-sensitivity for LLM calls and third-party tools drives demand for cost-optimizers and intelligent routing at the gateway level..
