Consumer Traceability Post-Handoff

After an API is handed off to consuming teams, it gets ‘used all over the place’ — and nobody can trace who’s calling what through which layers. Without post-handoff consumer tracking and principal propagation across multi-hop architectures, security and governance are blind to the actual usage landscape.

• Must track API consumers after APIs are handed off to teams
• Must trace API usage through to backend systems
• Must work across layered architectures with multiple hops
• Must maintain principal propagation context for security attribution
