It details features such as API Discovery to identify shadow APIs, Schema Validation to enforce API structure, Abuse Detection for rate limiting and scraping prevention, mTLS for device authentication, and enhanced Authentication (API keys, JWT, OAuth 2.0) and Routing capabilities leveraging Cloudflare Workers and Transform Rules.
