The HTTPRoute skill helps agents configure HTTP routing rules in Datum Cloud. It covers AI Edge route definitions — matching requests by path, headers, method, and query parameters, then forwarding, splitting, redirecting, rewriting, or mirroring traffic using HTTPRoute resources attached to a Gateway.

Install

/plugin marketplace add datum-cloud/skills
/plugin install datum-cloud@datum-cloud
Once installed, the skill activates automatically when you ask an agent to configure HTTP routing on Datum. No further configuration needed.

Capabilities

  • Route traffic by path (exact, prefix, regex), HTTP method, headers, and query parameters
  • Split traffic across multiple backends by weight (canary, A/B, blue-green deployments)
  • Redirect HTTP to HTTPS and issue permanent or temporary redirects
  • Rewrite URL paths and hostnames before forwarding to backends
  • Add, set, or remove request and response headers per route rule
  • Mirror (shadow) a percentage of traffic to a secondary backend without affecting responses
  • Configure per-route request and backend timeouts
  • List, inspect, and update routes across a project
  • Preview changes before applying with datumctl diff
  • Delete routes safely
  • Check permissions before acting
