The full platform
functional reference.

Every functional area of AI API Mapper documented at implementation depth so architects, security reviewers, and platform engineers can evaluate the product with real technical context.

Runtime · Tool invocation

Runtime Tool Invocation

Purpose

This functional area executes an AI-facing tool and returns the mapped result.

Main Capabilities

  • accept direct tool invocation
  • accept MCP tools/call requests
  • validate and transform request payloads from exposed field names into downstream source field names
  • execute the downstream API call
  • transform and return the downstream response using the exposed response field names

Invocation Flow

Functionally, invocation performs:

  1. tool resolution
  2. authorization
  3. credential resolution
  4. request transformation from ExposedFieldName to SourceFieldName
  5. downstream execution
  6. response transformation from SourceFieldName to ExposedFieldName
  7. audit and trace recording

Functional Value

This is the core execution path that makes the platform operational for AI callers.
