Smarter Proxy

Overview

Smarter Proxy is a built-in service that provides seamless access to third-party LLM API backends. Smarter Resources route their LLM calls through the proxy rather than connecting to a provider directly; the proxy forwards each request to the appropriate backend and returns the response, presenting a consistent interface regardless of which provider sits underneath.

Because every call passes through Smarter Proxy, it is also the natural point at which the platform’s low-level services get applied: requests and responses are logged, budget constraints are enforced before a call is allowed to proceed, and activity is recorded to the Smarter Journal.

Smarter Proxy also shields third-party LLM API credentials from the calling application. Credentials are held and injected by the proxy itself, so client code, end users, and downstream Smarter Resources never see or handle the underlying provider keys directly.
