Telefónica on making Open Gateway APIs agent-ready
Telefónica is working with Nokia to see how AI agents can make better use of network APIs exposed through the Open Gateway initiative. The company argues that today’s API-centric model works for simple, isolated functions, but runs into structural limits when developers try to handle complex, context-heavy tasks such as fraud prevention.
To move beyond those limits, Telefónica is exploring intent-based orchestration, using approaches like Agent-to-Agent (A2A) interaction and Multi-Component Platform (MCP) designs. The idea is to let developers describe what they want to achieve at a higher level, while AI agents coordinate multiple underlying APIs and network capabilities on their behalf.
