MuleSoft Developer 2 Certification Practice Exam

Policy execution order in MuleSoft API Manager is arranged so that automated (built‑in) enforcement points run first, and custom policies come after. This setup keeps security and governance checks—like authentication and rate limiting—before any additional processing or transformations. Because of this precedence, you cannot configure a custom API policy to execute before the automated policies. If you need to adjust the flow, you can reorder non-automated policies within the allowed chain, but you can’t place a custom policy ahead of the built‑in ones.
