For Agents

Move files in and out of ExaVault, manage shares and users, and audit account activity through one REST API.

Connect the ExaVault to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ExaVault, 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.

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for ExaVault, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

ExaVault is a managed file-transfer and secure cloud-storage platform that exposes its file, share, and user-management features through a REST API. The 59-endpoint surface covers folders and resources, share links, notifications, SSH keys, recipient and email lists, activity logs, account configuration, and webhook setup. Agents use it to move files in and out of the platform, control who has access, and audit activity across the account.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use ExaVault API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Vendor file ingestion pipeline

A finance agent watches a shared inbox, downloads incoming vendor invoices, and uploads them into a structured ExaVault folder by month. Webhooks then notify the downstream AP system that new files are ready for processing, removing the manual download-and-rename step.

Upload a vendor invoice PDF to /invoices/2026-06 in ExaVault, then verify a webhook fires to notify the AP system.

Time-bound share-link generation

A sales agent needs to share a contract pack with a prospect for a limited window. The integration agent calls ExaVault's share endpoints to create a new share with an expiry date and recipient email list, then returns the URL to embed in the outbound email.

Create an ExaVault share for /contracts/acme-q3.zip that expires in 7 days and includes prospect@example.com on the recipient list, then return the share URL.

User and SSH key provisioning

An IT ops agent provisions new automation accounts: it creates a user, attaches an SSH public key, and grants access to specific folders. ExaVault's user, SSH key, and resource endpoints make this a single scripted flow per new account.

Create a new ExaVault user 'svc-etl', attach an SSH public key, and grant read/write access to /etl/inbox.

AI agent file orchestration via Jentic

An AI assistant integrated through Jentic moves files between ExaVault folders and downstream systems on natural-language prompts. Jentic isolates the API key and resolves intent to specific ExaVault operations, so the assistant can upload, share, and audit files without ever holding the raw credentials.

Use Jentic to search for 'create an exavault share', load the operation, and generate a 7-day share link for a named folder on behalf of the user.

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

ExaVault API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped tokens at execution time — the raw key never enters the agent's context, transcripts, or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'upload a file to exavault' or 'create a share link') and Jentic returns the matching ExaVault operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without spec browsing.

Time to first call

Direct ExaVault integration: 2-3 days for auth, paging, and webhook handling across 59 endpoints. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using ExaVault API through Jentic.

What authentication does the ExaVault API use?

ExaVault uses API key authentication. Through Jentic, the API key is stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and replaced with a scoped token at call time, so the raw key never enters the agent's context.

Can I create share links programmatically with the ExaVault API?

Yes. The /shares endpoints let an agent create new share links with recipients, expiry dates, and access controls, and the email-lists endpoints let you reuse curated recipient groups across shares.

How do I get notified when a file lands in ExaVault?

Configure a webhook through the activity/webhooks resource. ExaVault will then POST to your endpoint when matching activity occurs, and an agent can subscribe to those events to drive downstream pipelines.

What are the rate limits for the ExaVault API?

The OpenAPI spec does not publish explicit rate limits. ExaVault enforces account-level throttling at the platform layer, so agents should handle 429 responses with exponential backoff and respect Retry-After headers.

How do I upload a file through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search for 'upload a file to exavault', load the resources upload operation, and execute it with the target path and file payload. Jentic returns the response so the agent can confirm the upload succeeded.

Does ExaVault provide SSH/SFTP key management through the API?

Yes. The SSH Keys endpoints let an agent attach, list, and revoke SSH public keys for users. This is how automation accounts get programmatic SFTP-style access without manual key handling in the UI.
