For Agents

Discover which Microsoft.Compute.Admin operations the Azure Stack stamp advertises before scripting fabric-side compute automation.

Connect the Compute Admin Client to your agent

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

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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 Compute Admin Client API.

List the provider operations advertised by Microsoft.Compute.Admin on a stamp

Use the operations response as a capability probe before scripting Azure Stack fabric tasks

Diff supported operations across stamp versions to detect deprecated actions

Confirm the Compute Admin resource provider is registered before chaining into disk or quota admin calls

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Compute Admin Client, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Compute Admin Client is the Azure Stack admin-plane entry point for the Microsoft.Compute.Admin resource provider. This 2015-12-01-preview revision exposes a single endpoint that returns the list of supported provider operations, used for capability discovery before invoking other Azure Stack compute admin clients. It is most useful as a probe ahead of automating compute-side fabric tasks on a stamp.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Compute Admin Client API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Pre-flight capability probe for stamp automation

Before an operator script attempts to call a specific Microsoft.Compute.Admin action, it should confirm the action is advertised on the target stamp. The Compute Admin Client's operations endpoint returns the registered set, so a runbook can fail fast with a clear message if a stamp is older than expected and the desired action is missing.

GET /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations on the stamp and assert that the response contains the operation names the runbook depends on.

Detect drift across Azure Stack stamps

Operators running multiple Azure Stack stamps need to know when the supported Compute Admin surface changes — for example after an update package is applied. Calling this endpoint on each stamp and diffing the results highlights newly available or deprecated operations and feeds the change into a compatibility report.

Call /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations on each registered stamp and emit a diff of operation names against a reference baseline.

Provider registration sanity check

If a downstream Azure Stack admin script is failing with 404s, the simplest first check is whether Microsoft.Compute.Admin is even registered on the stamp. A successful call to the operations endpoint confirms registration; a non-success surface lets an agent escalate to the operator with a precise diagnosis.

Call GET /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations and report whether the response is 200 with a non-empty operation list.

Agent-driven capability discovery via Jentic

An AI agent integrated through Jentic can use the Compute Admin Client as the first hop in any Azure Stack compute admin workflow — discovering operations, then chaining into Compute Disk Admin or Compute Management for the actual fabric-side action. Intent-based search means the agent does not have to memorise admin-plane paths.

From an agent loop, first call /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations to confirm capability, then route to the matching Compute Disk Admin or Compute Management operation.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Azure AD operator tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive a scoped access token tied to the Azure Stack stamp — refresh tokens never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (for example 'list compute admin operations') and Jentic returns the GET /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations call with its full schema, no ARM path memorisation needed.

Time to first call

Direct integration: half a day for AAD operator-token plumbing and stamp endpoint discovery. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

Complementary

ComputeDiskAdminManagementClient

Companion Azure Stack admin client for compute disk migration jobs

Choose Compute Disk Admin when the agent needs to manage actual disk-migration jobs after the capability probe succeeds

Alternative

Compute Management Client

Public Azure equivalent for VM, scale set, and disk provisioning

Choose Compute Management Client when the agent is operating on public Azure rather than an Azure Stack stamp

Complementary

Commerce Management Client

Sister Azure Stack admin client for usage aggregates on the same stamp

Choose Commerce Management when the agent needs billing or usage data from the same Azure Stack stamp

FAQs

Specific to using Compute Admin Client API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Compute Admin Client?

Microsoft does not publish a consolidated OpenAPI specification for the Azure Stack Compute Admin provider. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Compute Admin Client 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 Compute Admin Client use?

It uses Azure Active Directory OAuth 2.0 with the implicit flow at https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize and the user_impersonation scope. The caller must be an Azure Stack operator. Through Jentic the AAD token is held in the encrypted vault and never enters the agent context.

Can I provision VMs with the Compute Admin Client?

No. This 2015-12-01-preview revision only exposes /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations — a capability-discovery endpoint. To provision VMs use the public Compute Management Client (computemanagementclient) against management.azure.com.

What are the rate limits for the Compute Admin Client?

The Azure Stack admin plane inherits Azure Resource Manager subscription-level throttling. The spec does not declare separate headers; expect ARM 429 responses under sustained load.

How do I check Compute Admin operations through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'list compute admin operations', load the schema for GET /providers/Microsoft.Compute.Admin/operations, and execute it. Run pip install jentic to get the SDK and feed the result into your runbook as a capability gate.

Is the Compute Admin Client free?

Calling the admin operations endpoint itself is free; you only need an Azure Stack operator role. Costs come from running the Azure Stack stamp, not from calling this API.
