OAuth only, and a template must exist in the same location as the endpoint before the first call.\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### Google Cloud Model Armor\n\n1. Create one template per location you call from. A template in us-central1 doesn't answer on the europe-west2 endpoint\n2. Call `sanitizeUserPrompt` before the model and `sanitizeModelResponse` after, and read filterMatchState on both\n3. Treat EXECUTION_SKIPPED as unchecked, not clean. It means the input went over the filter's 65,536-token cap\n4. Pin the template to the Stable alias and move off v1 and v2 before 17 December 2026. In asia-northeast3, v1 stays the Stable version\n5. Retry 500, 502, 503 and 504 with truncated exponential backoff, and keep fan-out under the 1,200 queries a minute shared by the project\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, Google Cloud Model Armor or Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API?\n\nGoogle Cloud Model Armor scores 77.9 (BB) on agent readiness against Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API's 62.8 (B), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Google Cloud Model Armor and Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API need an API key?\n\nGoogle Cloud Model Armor uses an OAuth sign-in. Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Google Cloud Model Armor and Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Google Cloud Model Armor has a hosted endpoint at https://modelarmor.{location}.rep.googleapis.com/v1/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/templates/{template}:sanitizeUserPrompt 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/google-model-armor-vs-prisma-airs.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-model-armor-vs-prisma-airs.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"google-model-armor\", \"b\": \"prisma-airs\"}`.
