For Agents

Create and update Linux Foundation project reimbursements, run expense actions on expense reports, and manage tagging and reset of reimbursement policies for finance and ops teams.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Reimbursements API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Reimbursements 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: 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.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Reimbursements API.

Create a reimbursement record for a project via POST /reimbursement/{projectId}

Update an existing reimbursement record via PATCH /reimbursement/{projectId}

Apply an action (submit, approve, reject, etc.) to an expense report via POST /expense/{action}/{reportId}

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Reimbursements API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Project Reimbursement Setup

Set up a reimbursement record for a Linux Foundation project so contributors can submit eligible expenses. POST /reimbursement/{projectId} creates the record with project-specific policy settings, and PATCH /reimbursement/{projectId} updates it as policies evolve. Useful for project ops teams onboarding new working groups or sub-projects to the Linux Foundation finance platform.

Call POST /reimbursement/{projectId} for the new working group with the policy payload, then verify with a PATCH to update the policy threshold.

Expense Report Approval Workflow

Drive the submit-approve-reject lifecycle on contributor expense reports without a manual UI. POST /expense/{action}/{reportId} accepts the action (submit, approve, reject, etc.) and the report id, returning the updated state. Best for finance teams routing dozens of contributor expenses per week through structured approval rules.

Call POST /expense/approve/{reportId} for the report once the manager has signed off, then store the resulting state in the audit log.

Policy Tagging and Reset

Manage reimbursement policy metadata for audit and rollback. POST /tag attaches metadata (such as version, owner, or change reason) to a policy, while POST /reset restores defaults when a policy needs to be rolled back. Useful for finance ops teams that need a clean audit trail across many projects.

Call POST /tag with policy metadata when a new policy version is published, and POST /reset to roll back if validation fails.

AI Agent Finance Operations

Let an AI agent handle routine reimbursement actions on behalf of finance ops, such as submitting an expense report or applying a project policy update. Through Jentic, the agent searches by intent, gets the schema for the right /expense or /reimbursement endpoint, and executes while the X-API-Key stays in the MAXsystem vault. Every action remains traceable through the API's response state.

Search Jentic for 'approve a Linux Foundation expense report', load the schema, and execute POST /expense/approve/{reportId}.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Linux Foundation X-API-Key values are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault and injected as request headers at execution time — agents receive scoped tokens and never hold the raw key.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'approve a Linux Foundation expense report') and Jentic returns the matching /expense or /reimbursement endpoint with its input schema, no manual navigation of LF docs required.

Time to first call

Direct integration with the Reimbursements API: 4-8 hours for auth, schema mapping, and approval-flow handling. Through Jentic: under 20 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Reimbursements API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Reimbursements API use?

The API uses an X-API-Key header (ApiKeyAuth) issued through the Linux Foundation platform. Through Jentic, the key is stored in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time so agents never receive the raw key.

Can I create a project reimbursement record with this API?

Yes. POST /reimbursement/{projectId} creates a reimbursement record bound to the given project id with the supplied policy payload, and PATCH /reimbursement/{projectId} updates it. Each call requires the project id in the path so policies stay scoped to a single project.

What are the rate limits for the Reimbursements API?

Rate limits are enforced by the Linux Foundation API gateway and vary by endpoint and consumer tier. Build agents to back off on 429 responses and avoid tight loops on /expense/{action}/{reportId} when handling bulk approvals.

How do I approve an expense report through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search for 'approve a Linux Foundation expense report'. Jentic returns POST /expense/{action}/{reportId}. Load the schema, supply action=approve and the reportId, and execute. The response confirms the new state of the report.

Does the API expose a health check endpoint?

Yes. GET /health returns the reimbursement service health status, and GET /api-docs returns the live OpenAPI documentation. Use /health in monitoring and /api-docs when verifying that the deployed schema matches what the agent has loaded.
