Catalogs in Tyk AI Studio are collections of AI resources (LLM providers, Data sources, and Tools) that you can assign to specific Teams to easily manage access. They act as the bridge between the raw AI capabilities and the users who need to consume them.

​
Use cases

  • Resource Grouping: Group all OpenAI models into an “OpenAI Models” catalog and all Anthropic models into an “Anthropic Models” catalog to manage vendor access easily.
  • Environment Separation: Create a “Production Data” catalog and a “Staging Data” catalog, ensuring that only the production Team has access to the production data sources.
  • Tool Bundling: Bundle specific tools (like web search and calculators) into a “Research Tools” catalog for your data science Team.

​
Community vs Enterprise Edition

In the Community Edition, catalog management is automated. There are three built-in “Default” Catalogs (one for LLMs, one for Data Sources, and one for Tools). Any new resource you create is automatically added to its respective default catalog, and these catalogs are permanently linked to the “Default” Team. In the Enterprise Edition, you can create custom Catalogs, group specific resources together, and assign them to different Teams to enforce strict resource isolation and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). The “Default” catalogs still exist and cannot be deleted.

​
What is a Catalog?

A Catalog is a logical grouping of a specific type of AI resource. There are three types of catalogs in Tyk AI Studio:
  1. LLM Catalogs: Collections of LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, local models).
  2. Data Catalogs: Collections of data sources (e.g., vector databases, knowledge bases).
  3. Tool Catalogs: Collections of tools (e.g., web scrapers, calculators, custom APIs).
Catalogs do not grant access on their own. To make the resources within a catalog available to Users, the catalog must be assigned to a Team.

​
