kong.request.get_raw_body()/kong.response.get_raw_body() cannot be called from the log phase (confirmed via dataplane error logs: "function cannot be called in log phase") — this silently killed log_by_lua for every plugin on the request, not just body capture. Back to metadata-only logging while body capture gets redone properly (pre-function/post-function storing into kong.ctx.shared, read back in custom_fields_by_lua).
catalog-api
Kong routing/policy layer for the catalog slice of classic-models-api
(see /Users/stephanetailland/git/classic-models-api), split out per the
DDD decomposition in ../kong-konnect-deployment-strategy.md. The backend
itself stays a single monolith — only Kong does the domain split.
Two exposure surfaces of the same API, both proxying to the real
classic-models-api backend:
- REST (
kong/rest/) — 14 routes covering products/productlines. - MCP (
kong/mcp/) — the same catalog exposed as MCP tools (list-products,get-product,create-productso far; extending to the rest is mechanical), viaai-mcp-proxy.
Auth
openid-connect on both surfaces, with a distinct audience each
(catalog-api for REST, mcp-catalog for MCP) and a real RFC 8693 token
exchange chain: MCP → catalog-api → classic-models-api (REST's own
exchange target), narrowing the token before it ever reaches the backend —
the backend never sees a token minted for a different audience.
consumer_claims/consumer_by map the JWT sub to a Kong Consumer for
per-consumer rate limiting; consumer_groups_claim maps realm roles to
Kong Consumer Groups for MCP's per-tool ACLs.
Other policies
Per-consumer + API-level rate limiting, response caching (GET/HEAD),
audit log (http-log, endpoint still a placeholder — no real log
collector in this lab).
