AI Cookbooks: Recipe for routing AI desktop tools through Kong AI Gateway

Help documenting a pattern for routing AI desktop tools and IDEs through Kong AI Gateway to enforce organizational guardrails, observability, and cost controls on developer AI traffic.
Every major development tool — Cursor, VSCode/GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI Assistant, Claude Code, and CLI tools — supports custom base URL configuration, which means their LLM traffic can be proxied through Kong. This cookbook covers how to configure each tool to route through a Kong AI Gateway endpoint, and what plugins to apply on that route (rate limiting, prompt injection detection, semantic caching, PII redaction, cost tracking).
