Where are API Manager policies implemented in the Mule Runtime Engine?

Explanation:
Policy enforcement for API Manager happens at the gateway inside the Mule Runtime Engine. The Anypoint Runtime Manager Agent sits within the Orchestration Layer, which is the API Gateway, and this is where the configured policies are applied to incoming API requests. The gateway pulls policy configurations from API Manager and enforces them—such as security checks, rate limits, quotas, and transformations—before the request reaches the backend. This setup ties API Manager directly to runtime policy enforcement, rather than applying policies in client applications or purely in the backend implementation.
