APIs for AI agents are becoming a central enterprise question. An AI agent may understand a task, but can it safely discover the right tool, access the right data, and take the right action inside systems such as Workday, SAP, Salesforce, and more?

In this episode, Jas Kaur speaks with Romain Sestier, Co-Founder and CEO of StackOne, about the enterprise AI integration gap: why connecting an AI agent to an API is not the same as giving it reliable, governed access to enterprise systems. The conversation explores the missing layer between agents and enterprise software.

They also discuss what MCP still does not solve for enterprise use cases, why agents cannot be given thousands of tools at once, how a tool gateway can reduce unnecessary context and token costs, and why deterministic controls matter when agents can read or write sensitive business data.
