Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Nyckel Classification 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%2Fnyckel.com%2Fnyckel" | 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%2Fnyckel.com%2Fnyckel" | 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 Nyckel Classification API.
List and inspect existing classification functions in your Nyckel workspace
Define classification labels and structured fields for a function
Upload labelled training samples to teach a classification function
Invoke a trained function to classify a new text, image, or tabular input
Delete classification functions, labels, or fields when retiring a workflow
GET STARTED
Exchange client credentials for a short-lived access token via /connect/token
Patterns agents use Nyckel Classification API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Content Moderation Pipeline
Build an image or text moderation step into a user-generated-content pipeline by training a Nyckel function on labelled examples and invoking it on every upload. The training-and-inference loop runs entirely through the API, so a developer can iterate on the labelset without leaving the codebase. Time to a live classifier is typically under a day from a labelled dataset of a few hundred examples.
POST a labelled training sample to /v1/functions/{functionId}/samples for each image, then call POST /v1/functions/{functionId}/invoke with new uploads to score them.
Support Ticket Triage
Auto-route inbound support tickets by training a text classifier on past tickets labelled with their handling team. Once trained, the function is invoked on each new ticket to predict the routing label, which can be written back to a CRM or helpdesk. Nyckel's managed model selection means there is no separate training infrastructure to operate.
Invoke /v1/functions/{functionId}/invoke with the ticket subject and body, then patch the ticket in the helpdesk with the predicted routing label.
Tabular Lead Scoring
Score inbound leads by training a tabular classification function with fields such as company size, industry, and channel, mapped to historic outcomes. The fields endpoints let you define the input schema, and the invoke endpoint returns the predicted label with a confidence score. This works well as an alternative to bespoke ML services for teams without a data-science function.
POST /v1/functions/{functionId}/fields to define the lead schema, then POST /v1/functions/{functionId}/invoke with a new lead's fields and read the predicted label.
Agent-Driven Classification
Let an AI agent decide which Nyckel function to invoke for an incoming item - for example sending images to a moderation function and text to a sentiment function - by listing the available functions and routing accordingly. Through Jentic, the agent searches by intent and gets only the operations it needs, with credentials handled by the platform.
Search Jentic for 'invoke a Nyckel classification function', load the operation, and call the correct function id for the incoming item.
25 endpoints — the nyckel api powers a no-code machine-learning classification platform that supports text, image, and tabular inputs.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Nyckel by hand means running the /connect/token client-credentials exchange, managing the JWT bearer token against www.nyckel.com, and handling the request plumbing yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Nyckel from the API Directory, store the client id and secret once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Nyckel puts the function id in the URL path (/v1/functions/{functionId}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one classifier: it can invoke that function and read its fields and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so adding training samples or fields is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Nyckel client id and secret are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, and Jentic handles the /connect/token exchange. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'invoke a Nyckel classifier' or 'list Nyckel functions', and Jentic returns the matching Nyckel operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Nyckel Classification API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Nyckel API use?
The API uses bearer tokens issued via the OAuth2 client-credentials flow at POST /connect/token. You exchange a client id and client secret for a short-lived access token, then send it in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, the client id and secret are stored encrypted in the vault and the token exchange is handled automatically.
Can I train a classifier through the API?
Yes - create a function, define its labels (and fields for tabular use cases), then post labelled training samples to /v1/functions/{functionId}/samples. Nyckel manages model selection and retraining once samples are uploaded.
What are the rate limits for the Nyckel API?
The OpenAPI spec does not embed explicit limits. Nyckel's published policy throttles per-account based on plan; back off on HTTP 429 and consider batching invocations where the integration permits.
How do I invoke a classifier through Jentic?
Run pip install jentic, then search for 'invoke a Nyckel classification function'. Jentic returns POST /v1/functions/{functionId}/invoke with its input schema; supply the function id and input data and execute. Run it through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, to get an agent API key.
Does Nyckel support image inputs?
Yes - classification functions support text, image, and tabular inputs depending on how the function is configured. The same /v1/functions/{functionId}/invoke endpoint handles all three modalities, with the request body adapted to the input type.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Nyckel Classification API?
Yes. Because Nyckel puts the function id in the URL path, such as /v1/functions/{functionId}/invoke, a rule in your self-hosted Jentic One can pin your agent to a single classifier so it can invoke that function and read its fields and nothing else. You decide which operations the agent may call, so posting training samples to /v1/functions/{functionId}/samples or creating fields is excluded unless you explicitly allow it. Your Nyckel client id and secret stay under your control and are injected only for the operations you permit.
For Agents
Create classification functions, manage labels and training samples, and invoke trained models for text, image, and tabular classification with bearer authentication.
Use for: I need to classify a piece of user-submitted text into one of my Nyckel labels, Get an access token from my Nyckel client id and secret, List all classification functions in my Nyckel account, Add a new label called 'spam' to an existing function
Not supported: Does not handle generative text or image creation, embeddings, or speech transcription - use for supervised classification only.
The Nyckel API powers a no-code machine-learning classification platform that supports text, image, and tabular inputs. The 25-endpoint surface lets developers create classification functions, define labels and fields, upload training samples, and invoke trained functions for inference. It is designed for developers who need image moderation, text categorisation, or structured-data classification without building and operating their own ML pipeline, and it ships with built-in model selection and retraining behind the scenes.
