Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Braintrust 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%2Fbraintrust.dev%2Fbraintrust" | shStep 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%2Fbraintrust.dev%2Fbraintrust" | 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 Braintrust API.
Manage projects, experiments, and datasets
Insert events into experiments and datasets and fetch them back
Attach feedback and scores to logged events
Log production events through project logs and read them back
Summarize an experiment's results
GET STARTED
Manage prompts, functions, roles, and access-control entries
Patterns agents use Braintrust API for, with concrete tasks.
★ AI agent evaluation logging
An agent pipeline needs to record its own runs and scores so a team can track quality over time. Through Jentic the agent creates or looks up a project, inserts experiment events with their inputs, outputs, and scores, and can summarize the experiment when the run finishes. This turns ad hoc runs into a comparable evaluation history without a person wiring the client.
Search Jentic for 'log an experiment event', call POST /v1/experiment to create the experiment, then POST /v1/experiment/{experiment_id}/insert to record each scored event.
Production log capture
A deployed AI feature needs to send its live events somewhere they can be reviewed and scored later. The project-logs operations insert production events and fetch them back, so an agent can stream real traffic into Braintrust and a reviewer can pull it for analysis. This keeps production behaviour observable rather than lost.
Call POST /v1/project_logs/{project_id}/insert to log each production event, then GET /v1/project_logs/{project_id}/fetch to pull recent events for review.
Feedback collection
A human-in-the-loop workflow needs to attach reviewer judgements to recorded runs. The feedback operations tie a score or comment to a specific logged event in an experiment or project log, so an agent can fold reviewer input back into the evaluation record and later measure against it.
Call POST /v1/experiment/{experiment_id}/feedback with the event id and score to record the reviewer's judgement against that run.
Dataset curation
A test-set workflow needs to build and grow the datasets that experiments run against. The dataset operations insert records, fetch them back, and summarize a dataset, so an agent can add newly labelled examples and keep the evaluation set current instead of editing files by hand.
Call POST /v1/dataset to create the dataset, then POST /v1/dataset/{dataset_id}/insert to add each labelled example.
219 endpoints — the braintrust api runs evaluations and logging for ai applications.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Braintrust API by hand means creating a bearer token, holding it in your logging code, and building the insert and fetch calls before the first run is recorded. Through Jentic you install once, store the token, and import it from the API Directory, and your agent calls it without you writing the client.
Permission scoping
The Braintrust API exposes logging, read, and administrative operations, so a rule bounds which of them the agent may call: inserting and reading experiment events without the role, group, or access-control operations unless you add them. You choose the allowed set, so the agent only runs the operations you pick.
Credential isolation
You store the bearer token once and Jentic keeps it server-side, so it never sits in the agent's prompt or context; the agent calls the Braintrust operations and the token is attached out of band.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'log an experiment event' or 'summarize an experiment', and Jentic returns the matching Braintrust operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference docs.

Specific to using Braintrust API through Jentic.
Is there a Braintrust API MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the Braintrust API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your bearer token once, and your agent calls the experiment, dataset, and logging operations on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context.
What authentication does the Braintrust API use?
The Braintrust API authenticates with a bearer token, which most endpoints need, and the token determines which projects and organizations the caller can reach. When you connect it through Jentic, the token is stored server-side, so it stays out of the agent's prompt while the agent still makes the calls.
Can I log evaluation runs with the Braintrust API?
Yes. POST /v1/experiment/{experiment_id}/insert records scored events against an experiment and GET /v1/experiment/{experiment_id}/summarize returns its aggregate results, so an agent can log a run and read back how it scored.
What are the rate limits for the Braintrust API?
The OpenAPI spec does not state rate limits for the Braintrust API. Because event logging is often bursty, batch inserts where the endpoint accepts a list and check Braintrust's own documentation for any account-level limits, which the spec does not carry.
How do I record production events through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'log a production event', load the matching operation, and call POST /v1/project_logs/{project_id}/insert with the event payload. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Braintrust API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you decide which operations the agent may call: you might allow logging and reading experiment events with POST /v1/experiment/{experiment_id}/insert while withholding role and access-control changes, and the calls the agent makes are logged.
For Agents
Run and log AI evaluations on Braintrust: manage projects, experiments, and datasets, insert events and feedback, read production logs, and summarize experiment results.
Use for: Create a Braintrust project for a new application, Log a batch of experiment events with their scores, Fetch the events recorded against an experiment, Attach human feedback to a logged event
Not supported: Does not handle model inference, billing, or user authentication. Use for Braintrust project, experiment, dataset, and logging operations only.
The Braintrust API runs evaluations and logging for AI applications. It manages projects, experiments, and datasets, and inserts, fetches, and attaches feedback to the events those hold, so an agent can record model runs and their scores. It logs production events through project logs and reads them back for analysis. It also manages prompts, functions, roles, groups, and access-control entries, and summarizes an experiment's results. Requests carry a bearer token; a subset of endpoints are open, and the rest act within the scope the token grants.
