Notes and Warnings

• Routing Disabled: When routingEnabled=false, requests are not forwarded to backend
• Echo Mode: When echoEnabled=true, the request is returned as-is as the response — no backend communication occurs
• Use Cases:
  • Disable routing for maintenance/testing
  • Enable echo mode for debugging request transformations and policy effects
