For Agents
Run best-practice validations against SAP, SQL Server, and other enterprise workloads on Google Cloud. List evaluations, trigger executions, and pull rule results for compliance reporting.
Use for: List all SAP workload evaluations in a project, Trigger an on-demand execution for an evaluation, Retrieve rule results for the latest execution, List discovered workload profiles in us-central1
Not supported: Does not handle application code scanning, runtime workload execution, container image building, or non-Google-Cloud workloads - use for best-practice evaluation of enterprise workloads on Google Cloud only.
The Google Workload Manager API automates the validation of enterprise workloads - SAP, Microsoft SQL Server, and other regulated deployments - against best-practice rules and recommendations on Google Cloud. Through evaluations and rules, teams discover deployed workload profiles, run on-demand or scheduled checks, and ingest insights for centralised reporting. The API exposes evaluations, executions, results, discovered profiles, and rules so engineering and SRE teams can shift workload compliance left into automation.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Workload Manager API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Workload Manager 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%2Fgoogleapis.com%2Fworkloadmanager" | sh2
Step 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%2Fgoogleapis.com%2Fworkloadmanager" | 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Workload Manager API.
Create and list evaluations that target enterprise workloads such as SAP or SQL Server
Trigger an evaluation execution on demand and track it via long-running operations
Retrieve execution results enumerating which rules passed or failed for a workload
List discovered workload profiles automatically detected in the project
Write workload insights from external sources into Workload Manager via writeInsight
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Workload Manager API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Continuous SAP best-practice validation
SAP teams running on Google Cloud schedule evaluations to detect drift from Google's recommended SAP NetWeaver and HANA configurations. The API exposes both the evaluation definition and execution control surface so that runs can be triggered from CI on every infrastructure change. Rule results feed into the team's compliance dashboards and ticketing.
POST to /v1/{+name}/executions:run for an SAP evaluation and poll the returned operation until done, then list executions to retrieve the resulting rule pass/fail counts.
SQL Server workload audits
Database administrators use Workload Manager to audit SQL Server deployments against Microsoft and Google best practices for HA, backup, and security configuration. Discovered profiles surface running instances automatically; evaluations encode the desired state. This produces an objective, repeatable audit trail in place of manual checklists.
List discoveredprofiles for type=SQL_SERVER, then for each profile create an evaluation execution and report any failed rules.
Compliance ingestion from third-party scanners
Teams running additional scanners outside Google Cloud push workload-level insights into Workload Manager via /v1/{+location}/insights:writeInsight. This consolidates findings from Trivy, Wiz, or in-house tooling into the same evaluation-and-execution model the Cloud Console uses, giving security leadership a single view across native and third-party data.
POST to /v1/{+location}/insights:writeInsight with a sentenceFingerprint payload and verify the response contains a successful status.
Agent-driven compliance reporting through Jentic
A compliance agent connected to Jentic can list evaluations, trigger executions, and assemble a report of failing rules without engineers writing client glue. Search Jentic for run a workload evaluation, load the executions:run operation, and execute it scoped to the right evaluation. Tokens stay isolated in your Jentic One instance.
Through Jentic, list evaluations, run each one via /v1/{+name}/executions:run, and produce a Markdown report grouping failed rules by workload type.

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Workload Manager API by hand means setting up OAuth 2.0 for your Google Cloud project, refreshing access tokens, and matching evaluation and insight calls against the workloadmanager.googleapis.com host. Through Jentic you install once, import the Workload Manager API from the API Directory, store the OAuth credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Workload Manager API puts the evaluation in the URL path (/v1/{name}/executions:run), so a rule can pin your agent to one evaluation: it can run that evaluation and read discovered profiles and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so cancelling executions is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Google Cloud OAuth credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. Its client secret and refresh token never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'run a workload evaluation' or 'list discovered workload profiles', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Workload Manager API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Workload Manager API use?
OAuth 2.0 (Oauth2 and Oauth2c schemes) scoped to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. Through Jentic the OAuth credentials are stored encrypted and short-lived access tokens are exchanged at execution time.
Which workload types does Workload Manager support?
The discoveredprofiles resource recognises SAP (NetWeaver and HANA), Microsoft SQL Server, and other enterprise workload types as Google adds rule packs. Evaluations target one workload type at a time. Check the discoveredprofiles list output for the supported types in your project.
What are the rate limits for the Workload Manager API?
Per-project quotas for evaluation create and execution run calls are managed in the Cloud Console under APIs and Services. Discovery and read operations have generous defaults; the practical bound is how often you choose to run evaluations across the workload fleet.
How do I trigger an evaluation through Jentic?
Search Jentic for run a workload evaluation, load the schema for POST /v1/{+name}/executions:run, and execute it with the evaluation name. The response is a long-running operation; poll /v1/{+name}/operations until done is true and then list executions to read rule results.
Can I import findings from non-Google scanners?
Yes. POST /v1/{+location}/insights:writeInsight accepts a structured insight payload so you can centralise findings from Wiz, Trivy, or in-house scanners alongside Workload Manager's own evaluation results.
