For Agents
Read Azure App Service resource health metadata for subscriptions, resource groups, web apps, and deployment slots so agents can interpret platform availability signals.
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ResourceHealthMetadata API 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# 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 instanceJentic 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.
What an agent can do with ResourceHealthMetadata API Client API.
List resource health metadata for every App Service site in a subscription
Filter resource health metadata to a single resource group
Retrieve resource health metadata for a specific App Service site
Inspect resource health metadata for a deployment slot of a web app
GET STARTED
Use for: List resource health metadata for all web apps in a subscription, Get health metadata for a specific App Service site, Find resource health metadata for a deployment slot, Check whether App Service health metadata exists for a resource group
Not supported: Does not return live availability events, configure alerts, or manage App Service sites — use for reading App Service resource health metadata only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for ResourceHealthMetadata API Client, keeping it validated and agent-ready.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for the ResourceHealthMetadata API Client, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The API exposes Azure App Service resource health metadata, which describes how the platform reports availability and signals for web apps and deployment slots. Agents can list metadata at the subscription, resource group, app, or slot level to understand what health categories Azure is tracking before correlating those signals with diagnostics or alerts. The service runs against the Azure Resource Manager control plane for the Microsoft.Web provider.
Map availability categories the Azure platform reports for a given site
Correlate health metadata with App Service diagnostic and alert tooling
Patterns agents use ResourceHealthMetadata API Client API for, with concrete tasks.
★ App Service Availability Triage
Site reliability engineers triaging App Service incidents need to know which health signals Azure publishes for an affected site. The ResourceHealthMetadata API returns the metadata document describing how the platform classifies availability for that resource, which is the prerequisite for then querying Azure Resource Health or Service Health for the actual events. The triage runs against the Microsoft.Web provider in the Azure Resource Manager control plane.
GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{name}/resourceHealthMetadata for the affected site and return the categories array
Deployment Slot Health Check
Before swapping a staging slot into production, an agent can fetch the slot's resource health metadata to confirm the platform is publishing availability signals for it. The slot-scoped endpoint returns metadata for a named slot under a given site, which lets the agent gate the swap on a healthy metadata response.
GET resourceHealthMetadata for site myapp slot staging and confirm the response contains a non-empty signalAvailability category before triggering a slot swap
Subscription-Wide App Service Inventory
Cloud governance teams building inventories of App Service workloads use the subscription-scoped list endpoint to enumerate every site that has health metadata published. The response gives a per-site metadata record, which is enough to seed a CMDB with the health-tracking posture of each web app without iterating through every resource group manually.
GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Web/resourceHealthMetadata and return the count of sites with category=Availability
Agent-Driven Health Awareness via Jentic
Through Jentic, an SRE agent can search for app service health metadata, load the GET schema for the appropriate scope, and execute the call with a managed Azure OAuth token. The agent never handles a service principal secret directly, and the response feeds downstream operations such as opening incidents or pausing deployments.
Search Jentic for app service health metadata, load the site-scoped GET, execute it for site myapp in resource group rg-prod, and return the categories array to the calling workflow

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Azure service principal credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped OAuth bearer tokens for the management.azure.com audience only — the client secret never enters the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent such as app service health metadata or web app availability signals, and Jentic returns the matching ResourceHealthMetadata operation with its full input schema across subscription, resource group, site, and slot scopes.
Time to first call
Direct integration: half a day to wire MSAL and ARM error handling. Through Jentic: a few minutes to search, load the schema, and execute the call.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Azure WebApps API Client
Manage the App Service sites whose health metadata you read here
Use to list, configure, or restart the web apps that this metadata describes
Azure Monitor (Microsoft.Insights)
Query metrics and alerts that complement health metadata
Use after metadata lookup to fetch the actual availability metric values and configure alerts
Azure Microsoft.ResourceHealth
Returns the live availability events themselves rather than metadata
Use when you need current resource health status, not the schema describing what is tracked
Specific to using ResourceHealthMetadata API Client API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for the ResourceHealthMetadata API Client?
Microsoft Azure does not publish a unified OpenAPI specification for the App Service ResourceHealthMetadata API. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call ResourceHealthMetadata via structured tooling. It is validated against the live Azure Resource Manager API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the ResourceHealthMetadata API Client use?
It uses Azure Active Directory OAuth 2.0 via the azure_auth flow defined in the spec. Acquire a bearer token for https://management.azure.com/.default and pass it as Authorization: Bearer. Jentic stores the underlying service principal in its vault and hands the agent only a scoped token.
Can I read health metadata for a deployment slot with this API?
Yes. Call GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{name}/slots/{slot}/resourceHealthMetadata. The response describes how Azure tracks availability for that specific slot, separate from the production site.
Does the ResourceHealthMetadata API return live availability events?
No. This API returns metadata describing the categories and dimensions Azure tracks. To get the actual availability events you query Azure Resource Health or Service Health. Use this metadata to interpret what the live signals mean.
What are the rate limits for the ResourceHealthMetadata API?
Requests count against Azure Resource Manager subscription throttling, roughly 12,000 reads per hour per subscription. Throttled responses come back as HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait.
How do I look up site health metadata through Jentic?
Search Jentic for app service health metadata, call client.load on the site-scoped GET operation to receive its input schema, then call client.execute with subscriptionId, resourceGroupName, and the site name. Jentic injects the OAuth token and returns the metadata document.
