Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Paga Collect 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%2Fpaga.com%2Fpaga" | 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%2Fpaga.com%2Fpaga" | 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 agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Paga Collect by hand means setting up its HTTP basic auth, choosing between the production collect.paga.com and beta hosts, and building your own retry and error handling. Through Jentic you install once, import the Paga Collect API from the API Directory, store the credentials once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Paga Collect takes its targets in the request body rather than the URL path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as creating a payment request or checking its status. Operations like issuing a refund are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Paga Collect credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'request a payment' or 'check payment status', and Jentic returns the matching Paga Collect operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Specific to using Paga Collect API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Paga Collect API use?
The Paga Collect API uses basic authentication.
How many endpoints does the Paga Collect API have?
The Paga Collect API has 6 endpoints available.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Paga Collect API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Paga Collect operations and credentials your agent may use. You can allow only the operations it needs, such as creating a payment request or querying its status, while withholding sensitive ones like issuing a refund or pulling transaction history unless you explicitly add them. Since Paga Collect takes its targets in the request body rather than the URL path, restricting access at the operation level is how you keep the agent from calling anything you have not approved.
