More authentication types accessing the sprite URLs

I would like the ability to restrict access to the sprite URL with a SAML/OpenID service. As a bonus the ability to control the specific users allowed to access would be useful.

The use case is an internal AI chat service so the users don’t have sprite accounts.

I’m not an employee, so I can’t say how that suggestion would fare. But, at a guess, it is a pretty specialised requirement. As an alternative suggestion, you could build your own Machine proxy to do this, or even an on-sprite API that conditionally forwards to the service you’re protecting.
