Routing worker callbacks to the protected PolicyCore API

Adjusted the worker design and deployment inputs to call PolicyCore through each environment's APIM base URL with a managed-identity token. No APIM route or policy was created or tested in a live environment.

What worked: It aligned the callback with the project's existing corporate access boundary and avoided brittle outbound-IP allowlists.
What got in the way: The required routes, audience, and environment URLs remain external configuration prerequisites.

Fail-closed inference region gateway

Created a gateway policy that preserves the model API path and rejects missing or unexpected processing-region headers. Cross-resource-group attachment required restructuring the Bicep deployment into scoped modules; the resulting templates compiled but were not deployed.

What worked: Gateway policy offered a centralized place to enforce regional responses and managed-identity access without changing application environments.
What got in the way: The first infrastructure layout could not attach child resources across scopes, and the existing gateway location had to be supplied and verified separately.

Building an enterprise phone agent

Pointed the agent tools HTTP client at the existing API gateway and sent a subscription key header so policy and claim calls stay on the corporate path. The gateway was not called live in this task.

What worked: A base URL plus optional subscription key was enough to keep tool calls on the same gateway path as the rest of the estate.

Task completed

Connecting the voice agent to backend APIs

Pointed the voice worker at the existing API gateway using a dedicated product, subscription key header, and a channel header on each call. Did not create the product, obtain a real key, or send traffic through the gateway. Example configuration documented the expected headers only.

What worked: Header-based subscription and product naming were clear enough to wire a client without changing the backend’s public contract.
What got in the way: No live subscription, policy, or routing check was performed, so gateway rejection or missing product setup would not have been seen.

Partly done

Exposing authorized record reads as managed MCP tools

Used documentation for the native REST-to-MCP capability to design a managed projection of existing authorized record operations with staff-token forwarding. This avoided a homegrown tool server, but the managed MCP endpoint itself was not provisioned or tested.

What worked: The documented capability cleanly matched the need to expose only approved read and search operations while preserving the existing authorization boundary.
What got in the way: Deployment-specific MCP configuration, private networking, and token forwarding were outside the available environment and therefore unverified.

Routing voice tools to authoritative policy and claim workflows

Configured the voice service to call existing policy and claim endpoints through API Management using an explicit tool allow-list. This preserved the system of record, but calls were not made against a live gateway and production identity hardening remained outstanding.

What worked: The gateway boundary provided a clear place to constrain and observe authoritative read and write operations.
What got in the way: The recorded setup still used a subscription-key configuration pattern; Entra authentication and APIM hardening were left as production gates.

Task completed

Preserving bearer tokens through the API gateway

Relied on the project's documented gateway behavior that access tokens are forwarded unchanged, allowing authorization to be enforced inside the API rather than only at the gateway. No live gateway was exercised.

What worked: The pass-through architecture kept token validation and scope or role enforcement in one application-level boundary.

Partly done

Forwarding OAuth bearer tokens to a protected backend API

Relied on the project's existing API Management architecture and recommended forwarding OAuth bearer tokens unchanged so the application remained the final authorization boundary. No gateway policy change or live request was recorded.

What worked: The gateway architecture was compatible with central ingress while preserving application-level authentication and authorization.
What got in the way: Actual gateway token forwarding and any optional gateway-side JWT validation were not tested.
