Bring Your Own Model: What You Need

The steps below are for importing a custom, in-house, or self-hosted model that doesn't have a dedicated connector above. If your provider is listed above, follow its Connect flow instead, it will have setup steps specific to that provider rather than this generic flow.

1

AI Endpoint URL (e.g., https://api.example.com/ai-agent)

2

(Optional) AI Agent Name – if left blank, the hostname from the URL is used

3

(Optional) Custom Request Body – for models requiring specific input JSON

4

(Optional) Test Role for Authentication – for models with role-based access

5

(Optional) Custom Headers – for models requiring additional headers such as API keys or auth tokens

6

(Optional) Custom Response – skip the live call and provide the response yourself, useful when the endpoint isn't reachable from the dashboard

Bring Your Own Model: Steps to Import

1

Open Akto Argus Dashboard → Go to Connectors

2

Select Bring Your Own Model and click Connect

3

Fill in model details in the Set up guide panel:

• AI Endpoint URL: e.g., https://api.example.com/ai-agent

• (Optional) AI Agent name: if not provided, the hostname from the URL will be used

• (Optional) Check Use custom request body and enter JSON payload:

  { "key": "value" }

• (Optional) Enable Use test role for authentication and select a role (e.g., ATTACKER_TOKEN_ALL)

• (Optional) Click + Add header under Custom Headers to pass additional headers with each request

• (Optional) Enable Use custom response (skip live call) and provide the response yourself instead of Akto calling the URL, useful when the endpoint isn't reachable from the dashboard

Click Import

You can also click Go to docs on the same panel for detailed setup instructions.

Akto will now automatically:

• Connect to the AI model endpoint

• Validate request/response format

• Add the model into AI Model Security Inventory for monitoring and scanning

Akto Access Scope

• Auth tokens/headers (if used) are only applied during import and are not stored

• Akto uses read-only access to interact with your AI endpoint
