3790791 - Clarification of api policy section 2.2.2 for ai-driven api consumption via api management, SAP integration suite

• Section 2.2.2 of SAP API Policy v.4.2026a restricts API consumption by autonomous or generative AI systems. Could you clarify precisely what constitutes an "autonomous or agentic AI system" under this policy, and how it is distinguished from deterministic middleware that makes fixed, pre-defined API calls without any planning or sequencing logic?

• Where does the policy draw the boundary between a traditional integration platform or low-code tool — such as an EDI system or a platform like Power Automate — and an agentic AI system, particularly in cases where the platform offers optional AI features that are not being used against SAP APIs?

• If an API publisher exposes APIs through SAP API Management and a third-party consumer subsequently introduces AI-assisted capabilities into their consuming application, what obligations does this create for the original API publisher? Is the publisher responsible for monitoring or controlling how downstream consumers use the exposed APIs?

• Is there a formal process or declaration mechanism by which API publishers can document and demonstrate compliance with Section 2.2.2 across their consumer landscape, particularly where they have limited visibility into how third-party consumers are utilizing the APIs?
