Access needs a subscription bought through sales, with no public price or trial for the API, and the developer changelog has one entry from February 2025.\n\n**Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API.** A public OpenAPI document, ten detection types in one call, tool-call scanning, a remote MCP server, rotating API keys and OAuth roles suit teams already on Strata Cloud Manager. Access needs Software NGFW credits bought through sales, with no public price, trial or self-serve signup, and payloads flagged malicious are kept for up to 10 years.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cisco AI Defense Inspection API\n\n1. Send the key in `X-Cisco-AI-Defense-API-Key` to `POST /api/v1/inspect/chat` on the regional host where the tenant was created. US, Europe and Asia Pacific hosts differ\n2. If the connection has a policy, `enabled_rules` in the request is ignored. Pass `enabled_rules` only for connections with no policy\n3. The API never blocks anything itself. Read `is_safe` and `action` in the response and enforce the decision in your own code\n4. On 429, wait and retry. The organisation has gone over one million tokens in parallel or 60,000 calls a minute\n5. Don't request the Toxicity rule. It was removed on 16 September 2026, and the Safety rules such as Hate Speech, Harassment and Profanity replace it\n\n### Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API\n\n1. Send `x-pan-token` and an `ai_profile` with `profile_name` or `profile_id` on every scan. Both come from Strata Cloud Manager, and a key works only in its own region\n2. Put earlier turns first in `contents`. Only the last element is scanned, and the rest is context\n3. Read `action` (allow or block) and `category`, then check `timeout` and `error`, because a detector that failed is reported in `errors` with a 200\n4. Keep synchronous requests under 2 MB and asynchronous ones under 5 MB and 25 items, and fetch at most 5 scan or report IDs a call, 10 calls a minute\n5. For MCP, connect to `/mcp` on the regional host with `x-pan-token` and `x-pan-profile` headers, and call `pan_inline_scan` yourself before and after generation\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cisco AI Defense Inspection API or Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API?\n\nPrisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API scores 62.8 (B) on agent readiness against Cisco AI Defense Inspection API's 61.3 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Cisco AI Defense Inspection API leads on maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Cisco AI Defense Inspection API and Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API need an API key?\n\nCisco AI Defense Inspection API needs an API key. Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Cisco AI Defense Inspection API and Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cisco AI Defense Inspection API has a hosted endpoint at https://us.api.inspect.aidefense.security.cisco.com/api/v1/inspect/chat and Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API at https://service.api.aisecurity.paloaltonetworks.com/v1/scan/sync/request.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cisco-ai-defense-inspection-vs-prisma-airs.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cisco-ai-defense-inspection-vs-prisma-airs.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cisco-ai-defense-inspection\", \"b\": \"prisma-airs\"}`.
