What are Open Gateway / CAMARA APIs and why do they matter?

Open Gateway is a global initiative by GSMA and the Linux Foundation that standardizes telecom network APIs across carriers. CAMARA is the open-source project defining these API specifications. Instead of carrier-specific integrations, developers get universal, consistent endpoints for Number Verify, Device Location, SIM Swap, Quality on Demand, and more. AT&T is a founding participant, meaning these APIs work the same way across compatible networks worldwide.

Does Device Location require user consent?

Yes. Per CAMARA standards, the Device Location API requires explicit user consent before returning any positioning data. The API will fail with an authentication error if consent has not been granted. This is a security and privacy safeguard -- network-level location cannot be retrieved silently without the user's knowledge.

What is Network Slicing and when should I use it?

Network Slicing creates logically isolated 5G network segments with guaranteed SLA parameters (latency, bandwidth, reliability). Use it for IoT deployments requiring guaranteed connectivity, private enterprise networks, mission-critical applications like remote surgery or autonomous vehicles, and any scenario where best-effort public network performance is insufficient. You can create, monitor, and delete slices directly through your AI agent.

More Details Connect to Claude

Connect your AT&T 5G account to any AI agent and unlock the full power of Open Gateway / CAMARA-compliant network APIs through natural conversation.

What you can do

Number Verify -- Silently confirm a user's phone number matches their current device without SMS OTP friction
Device Location -- Get approximate geographic positioning via network-based cell tower triangulation (with user consent)
SIM Swap Detection -- Detect recent SIM card changes to prevent account takeovers and fraud before they happen
Quality on Demand -- Request guaranteed network profiles (low latency, high throughput, reliable transmission) for critical sessions
Network Slicing -- Provision, monitor, and decommission dedicated 5G network slices with custom SLA parameters for enterprise use
Roaming Status -- Check if a device is roaming on a foreign network and apply correct billing or routing rules
Session Auditing -- List active and historical QoD sessions to audit premium service consumption

How it works

No more writing custom HTTP clients to hit the AT&T Developer Portal. Your AI agent becomes your 5G network operations console.

Who is this for?

Security Engineers -- block SIM-swap fraud, verify identities without OTP, and enforce geo-fencing policies
Network Architects -- provision network slices, monitor QoD session health, and audit enterprise SLA compliance
Product Teams -- integrate location-aware features, optimize real-time app performance, and manage roaming billing
IoT Operators -- guarantee connectivity for critical deployments with dedicated slice isolation

9 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

check_roaming_status

Use this to apply correct billing rates, trigger roaming alerts, or optimize routing for international travelers. Check if a device is currently roaming on a foreign network

check_sim_swap

Returns days since last swap or a boolean indicating recent activity. Use this to block account takeovers attempts, verify identity before password resets, or trigger step-up authentication. Detect if a SIM card has been swapped recently for fraud prevention

create_network_slice

Requires slice name, SLA profile, and target device group. Returns slice ID and provisioning status. Use this for IoT deployments, private enterprise networks, or guaranteed performance applications. Provision a new dedicated 5G network slice for an enterprise use case

delete_network_slice

Requires slice ID. Use this to clean up unused slices, reduce costs, or retire temporary deployments. Decommission and delete an existing 5G network slice

get_device_location

Requires user consent per CAMARA standards. Returns latitude, longitude, and accuracy radius in meters. Use this for geo-fencing, localized content delivery, or emergency services routing. Do not use for precise GPS tracking. Get approximate geographic location of an AT&T 5G device

get_network_slice_info

Includes SLA parameters, allocated resources, and connected devices. Use this to monitor slice health or verify enterprise SLA compliance. Get details of a specific 5G network slice

list_network_sessions

Use this to audit network usage, track premium service consumption, or troubleshoot active sessions. List active and historical network QoD sessions

request_quality_on_demand

Choose profiles like "low_latency" (gaming/VR), "high_throughput" (video), or "reliable_transmission" (IoT). Returns session ID and active duration. Use this to optimize real-time applications, prioritize critical downloads, or enhance remote worker connectivity. Request guaranteed network quality (low latency/high bandwidth) for a session

verify_number

Eliminates SMS OTP friction. Requires the phone number in E.164 format (e.g., +12125551234). Returns verification status and confidence score. Use this for seamless user onboarding, secure login, or fraud prevention. Silently verify a user's phone number without SMS OTP
