API Policy

Rule enforced at runtime on an API, such as client ID enforcement, rate limiting, spike control, JWT validation or IP allowlist.

Policies are applied in API Manager and enforced by the Mule runtime or Flex Gateway. Custom policies can be built and published to Exchange.

Exam tip

Rate limiting rejects excess requests; spike control queues and retries them to smooth bursts.
