Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the FileRun 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%2Ffilerun.com%2Ffilerun" | 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%2Ffilerun.com%2Ffilerun" | 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 FileRun API.
Browse and search files and folders in a FileRun drive
Upload files to and download files from the drive
Create folders and organize files by moving or renaming them
Share files or mint web links, and revoke that access
Star files and read file metadata and thumbnails
GET STARTED
Delete files and folders or extract archives
Administer user accounts on the FileRun instance
Patterns agents use FileRun API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Agent File Management via Jentic
AI agents manage files on a FileRun instance through Jentic without holding the OAuth token in context. An agent searches by intent, receives the matching operation schema, and browses, uploads, or shares files end to end. Jentic injects the bearer token at execution time, so the agent never sees the secret while it works with the drive.
Search Jentic for 'upload a file to FileRun', load the PUT /api.php/Drive/files/upload schema, and upload with Jentic-managed credentials
Automated Document Organization
An agent keeps a shared drive tidy: it searches for files matching a pattern, creates folders for each project, and moves or renames items into place. Because FileRun exposes explicit browse, search, move, and rename operations, the agent can reorganize a large drive without a human dragging files around.
Call POST /api.php/Drive/files/search to find files, then POST /api.php/Drive/files/move to place them into folders
Programmatic File Sharing
An agent shares a finished document by sharing it with a user or minting a web link, then revokes that access once the recipient no longer needs it. FileRun's share, weblink, and unshare operations let the agent control access to a file over its whole lifecycle.
Call POST /api.php/Drive/files/share to grant access, then POST /api.php/Drive/files/weblink to create a shareable link
24 endpoints — the filerun api gives ai agents programmatic file management on a self-hosted filerun instance.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the FileRun API by hand means running the OAuth 2.0 flow to get a bearer token, refreshing it, and sequencing the Drive file calls against your instance host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the FileRun API from the API Directory, store the credential, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
You choose which FileRun operations your agent may call, so a rule can allow browsing, search, and download while withholding delete, move, and user administration. Scoping is by operation, so destructive calls stay out unless you grant them.
Credential isolation
Your FileRun OAuth token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'upload a file' or 'share a folder', and Jentic returns the matching FileRun operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using FileRun API through Jentic.
What authentication does the FileRun API use?
The FileRun API uses OAuth 2.0: obtain an access token through the authorization code flow or the resource owner password flow, then send it as a bearer token in the Authorization header, per its OpenAPI spec. Through Jentic, the token is stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at call time, so it never enters the agent's prompt or logs.
Can I upload and share files with the FileRun API?
Yes. Upload a file with PUT /api.php/Drive/files/upload, browse the drive with GET /api.php/Drive/files/browse, and share an item with POST /api.php/Drive/files/share.
What are the rate limits for the FileRun API?
The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits; check the FileRun documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, requests run from your own instance, so you control the pacing of the agent's calls.
How do I upload a file with the FileRun API through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'upload a file to FileRun', load the returned PUT /api.php/Drive/files/upload operation with its input schema, and your agent uploads with credentials injected at call time. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
Is there a FileRun MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the FileRun API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your token, and your agent calls it, discovering operations on demand instead of loading a separate server's tool definitions into its context.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the FileRun API?
Yes. You choose which FileRun operations your agent may call, so you can allow browsing, searching, and downloading while withholding delete, move, and user-administration operations. The agent runs only the endpoints you approve, so anything destructive is excluded until you add it.

For Agents
Browse, upload, download, organize, and share files on a self-hosted FileRun instance. Authenticates with an OAuth 2.0 bearer token.
Use for: I want to upload a file to my FileRun drive, Search for a file by name in FileRun, Download a file from a folder, Create a folder to organize project files
Not supported: Does not run the FileRun server or handle storage provisioning. Use for file, sharing, and account operations on an existing instance only.
The FileRun API gives AI agents programmatic file management on a self-hosted FileRun instance. Agents browse and search a drive, upload and download files, and organize them by creating folders and moving, renaming, or deleting items. They can share files, mint or revoke web links, star items, and read file metadata and thumbnails. Administrators can also manage user accounts on the instance. Access uses OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens, while the token endpoints themselves stay open.
