For Agents

Issue an access token and pull security resources from Akamai for ingestion into a SIEM pipeline.

Quickstart

Get started with Akamai SIEM API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"pull Akamai security resources for SIEM"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Akamai SIEM API API.

Issue an access token via the auth endpoint for downstream calls

List the security resources exposed by the SIEM integration

Retrieve the details of a specific resource by id

Authenticate every call with an X-API-Key header

Wire Akamai security events into an external SIEM or analytics pipeline

Use for: Get an access token for the Akamai SIEM API, List the security resources I can pull, Retrieve a specific security resource by id, Check whether my API key still works

Not supported: Does not configure WAF rules, manage CDN properties, or stream raw HTTP logs — use for SIEM token issuance and security resource lookups only.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Akamai SIEM API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Akamai SIEM API exposes a security information and event management integration surface — three endpoints covering token-based authentication and resource listing and retrieval. It is intended for ingesting Akamai security events into an external SIEM, with API-key authentication on the X-API-Key header and a separate token endpoint for issuing access tokens.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Akamai SIEM API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ SIEM event ingestion bootstrap

Stand up a pipeline that ingests Akamai security events into a SIEM. The agent calls /auth/token to obtain an access token, then iterates /resources to discover what is available, fetching each resource by id for downstream forwarding.

POST /auth/token, then GET /resources and GET /resources/{id} for each resource to forward to the SIEM

Periodic security resource sync

Run a scheduled job that polls Akamai for new or updated security resources and synchronises them into a downstream tracker. The agent compares the latest resource list against the local cache and pulls only changed entries.

GET /resources, diff against the previous run's ids, and call GET /resources/{id} for each new or changed entry

AI agent integration via Jentic

A security agent uses Jentic to discover and call the Akamai SIEM operations by intent. The X-API-Key stays in the Jentic vault, the agent loads the operation schema at runtime, and the agent's prompt never contains the credential.

Search Jentic for 'pull Akamai security resources', load the Akamai GET /resources operation, and execute it

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Akamai X-API-Key and access tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. The agent receives a scoped execution capability and never sees the raw credentials.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'pull Akamai security resources') and Jentic returns the matching SIEM operation with its input schema so the agent calls it without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Akamai SIEM integration: a day to wire token issuance, polling, and SIEM forwarding. Through Jentic: under an hour to call individual operations.

FAQs

Specific to using Akamai SIEM API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Akamai SIEM API?

Akamai does not publish an OpenAPI specification for this SIEM integration. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Akamai SIEM API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Akamai SIEM API use?

The API requires an API key in the X-API-Key header on every call, and exposes POST /auth/token for issuing a separate access token used in subsequent requests. Through Jentic, both credentials sit in the encrypted Jentic vault.

What resources can I retrieve from the SIEM API?

GET /resources returns the list of security resources exposed by the integration, and GET /resources/{id} returns the full details for one. The endpoint surface is intentionally small — three operations focused on token issuance and resource pulls.

How do I forward Akamai events into Splunk through Jentic?

Use the Jentic search query 'pull Akamai security resources'. Jentic returns the GET /resources and GET /resources/{id} operations; chain those calls and forward the responses to your Splunk HEC endpoint.

Are there rate limits on the Akamai SIEM API?

Rate limits are not declared in this OpenAPI spec; Akamai applies account-level quotas. Treat polling on a per-minute schedule as a safe default and back off on 429 responses.
