For Agents

Connect AWS and Azure accounts to Cloudcraft, snapshot them as isometric architecture diagrams in PNG/SVG/JSON, and manage blueprints, budgets, teams, and users.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Cloudcraft API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Cloudcraft API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fapi.cloudcraft.co%2Fcloudcraft" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fapi.cloudcraft.co%2Fcloudcraft" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Cloudcraft API.

Connect AWS or Azure accounts to Cloudcraft and retrieve the IAM parameters needed for read-only roles

Snapshot a cloud account on demand and export the architecture diagram as PNG, SVG, JSON, or MxGraph

Manage saved blueprint diagrams used as templates or reference architectures

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Cloudcraft API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Cloudcraft turns AWS and Azure accounts into live, isometric architecture diagrams. The API lets you connect cloud accounts, snapshot them on demand to render a current-state diagram in PNG, SVG, JSON, or MxGraph, and manage blueprints, budgets, teams, and users that organise those diagrams. Snapshot exports are the most common entry point: you pass a region and format and Cloudcraft returns the rendered architecture ready for embedding in docs, runbooks, or compliance reports.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Cloudcraft API for, with concrete tasks.

★ On-Demand Architecture Diagrams in Docs

Embed a live AWS or Azure architecture diagram in internal documentation by snapshotting Cloudcraft on demand. The agent calls GET /aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/{format} or the Azure equivalent and stores the returned PNG or SVG. Re-running the job nightly keeps the diagram in sync with the actual deployed infrastructure rather than a stale handcrafted picture.

Call GET /aws/account/{account_id}/eu-west-1/png and upload the response to a Confluence page on a nightly schedule.

Compliance and Audit Evidence

Auditors regularly ask for an up-to-date architecture diagram. The agent snapshots each connected account on the first of the month using GET /aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/{format} with format='svg' and stores the SVG in an evidence locker. The same call can produce a JSON export for diff-friendly storage in git.

Call GET /aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/svg for every connected account on day 1 of the month and commit the SVGs to a compliance-evidence repo.

Multi-Account Cost Visualisation

Pair Cloudcraft snapshots with their attached budgets to create a per-account cost overlay. The agent calls GET /aws/account/ to enumerate accounts, GET /budget/ to read the current budget, then snapshots the account in JSON to map costs onto specific resources. Useful for FinOps teams that need a visual cost map per account.

Call GET /aws/account/, then for each ID call GET /budget/ and GET /aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/json, and merge the cost data into the JSON export.

Agent-Driven Architecture Lookups via Jentic

Connect Cloudcraft to an AI assistant through Jentic so an engineer can say 'show me the current architecture of the prod AWS account' in chat. The assistant searches Jentic for the right Cloudcraft operation, loads the schema, and calls the snapshot endpoint with the API key kept in the Jentic vault. The assistant returns a PNG without ever seeing the raw API key.

Use the Jentic Python SDK to search for 'snapshot aws account', load GET /aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/{format}, and execute it with format='png' for the prod account.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the Cloudcraft API by hand means handling its API key auth and mapping the AWS and Azure account, blueprint, and export routes yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Cloudcraft from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Cloudcraft puts the account id in the URL path (/aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/{format}), so a rule can pin your agent to one connected account: it can export that account's architecture and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so connecting new accounts is only included if you add it.

Credential isolation

Your Cloudcraft API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected into the Authorization header at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'snapshot an AWS account' or 'list Cloudcraft blueprints', and Jentic returns the matching Cloudcraft operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Cloudcraft API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Cloudcraft API?

Cloudcraft (now part of Datadog) publishes HTML reference docs but does not export a downloadable OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Cloudcraft API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Cloudcraft API use?

The API uses an API key passed in the Authorization header as 'Bearer {api_key}'. You generate the key in the Cloudcraft user settings. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the vault and only scoped tokens reach the agent's context.

Can I export an architecture diagram as SVG with the Cloudcraft API?

Yes. Call GET /aws/account/{account_id}/{region}/svg or the equivalent /azure/account path with format='svg'. Cloudcraft also supports png, json, and mxgraph formats; pick svg or json when you need diff-friendly storage in git or programmatic post-processing.

What are the rate limits for the Cloudcraft API?

Cloudcraft applies per-account throttling and snapshot endpoints are rate-limited more strictly because they trigger live cloud scans. Schedule snapshots and avoid running multiple per minute against the same account; through Jentic, monitor 429 responses and back off.

How do I add an AWS account to Cloudcraft through Jentic?

First call GET /aws/account/iamParameters to retrieve the IAM role configuration. Create the role in AWS, then call POST /aws/account with the role ARN and external ID. Through Jentic, search for 'add aws account', load the operation, and execute. The standard quickstart is pip install jentic, search, load, execute.

Is the Cloudcraft API free?

Cloudcraft offers a free tier with limited diagrams; full API access including live snapshots requires a paid plan or a Datadog subscription that includes Cloudcraft. There is no per-call API fee on top of the subscription.
