Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the UK Parliament Treaties API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the UK Parliament Treaties 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%2Fparliament.uk%2Ftreaties" | sh

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%2Fparliament.uk%2Ftreaties" | 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use UK Parliament Treaties API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Treaty Ratification Monitoring

Track international treaties as they progress through the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 (CRaG) scrutiny process. GET /api/Treaties/Search returns treaties laid before Parliament, while GET /api/Treaties/{id} provides full details including CRaG period deadlines and ratification status. Essential for foreign policy analysts and legal teams monitoring UK treaty commitments.

GET /api/Treaties/Search?session=2025-26 to list all treaties laid in the current parliamentary session

Committee Scrutiny and Reports

Access parliamentary committee reports and recommendations on treaties under scrutiny. GET /api/Treaties/{id}/CommitteeReports returns reports from relevant select committees examining treaty implications. Supports parliamentary researchers and policy analysts evaluating treaty scrutiny quality.

GET /api/Treaties/{id}, then GET /api/Treaties/{id}/CommitteeReports to retrieve scrutiny reports and recommendations

Subject and Department Filtering

Filter treaties by subject area or government department to track international agreements in specific policy domains. Search by department (Foreign Office, Trade Department) or subject (trade, defense, environment) to retrieve relevant treaties. Useful for sector-specific monitoring.

GET /api/Treaties/Search?department=Foreign Office&subject=trade to list trade-related treaties laid by FCO

AI-Powered Foreign Policy Research via Jentic

An AI agent researching UK foreign policy can search for treaties by subject, track CRaG scrutiny deadlines, and retrieve committee reports through Jentic without managing complex filtering or parsing nested treaty data. Jentic resolves intents like 'find trade treaties laid this year' to the correct endpoints.

Search Jentic for 'find treaties by subject', load GET /api/Treaties/Search schema with subject filter, and execute

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the UK Parliament Treaties API by hand means learning its search and list conventions, handling pagination across CRaG scrutiny records, and parsing nested committee-report data yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Treaties API from the API Directory, and your agent calls it with no credential to manage since it is open-access.

Permission scoping

This API is read-only over public treaty scrutiny data, so you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as searching treaties or fetching one treaty and its committee reports by id. Every operation is a GET, so nothing it can call writes or changes parliamentary records.

Credential isolation

The Treaties API is open-access and needs no credential, so there is no key to store. If you later front it with a gateway token, that token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance, injected at execution time, and never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'find trade treaties under scrutiny' or 'check a treaty CRaG period', and Jentic returns the matching Treaties operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using UK Parliament Treaties API through Jentic.

What is CRaG and how does it relate to treaty scrutiny?

The Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 (CRaG) requires the government to lay treaties before Parliament for 21 sitting days before ratification. During this period, either House can vote to reject ratification. The API tracks CRaG scrutiny periods, deadlines, and parliamentary objections.

Can I filter treaties by government department?

Yes. Use GET /api/Treaties/Search with department parameters to filter treaties by the responsible government department (typically the Foreign Office, but also Trade, Defense, or other departments depending on treaty subject). This helps track departmental treaty activity.

How do I find treaties related to a specific policy area?

Use the subject filter in GET /api/Treaties/Search to retrieve treaties in specific policy areas such as trade, defense, environment, or human rights. The API categorizes treaties by subject to support policy-focused research.

What is a command paper number?

A command paper is a document laid before Parliament by a minister, including treaty texts. Command papers have unique reference numbers (e.g., Cm 1234) used to identify treaties. The API allows searching by command paper number.

Is authentication required for this API?

No. The UK Parliament Treaties API is a public API with no authentication required. It provides open access to treaty data for research, policy analysis, and monitoring purposes.

Where does Jentic's OpenAPI spec for this API come from?

Jentic imports and validates the official Swagger spec published by UK Parliament at https://treaties-api.parliament.uk/swagger/v1/swagger.json, converts it to OpenAPI 3.0.3, and keeps it updated so AI agents and developers can call the API via structured tooling.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the UK Parliament Treaties API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which operations the agent may call, so you can grant it just the ones it needs, such as searching treaties with GET /api/Treaties/Search or fetching a single treaty and its committee reports by id with GET /api/Treaties/{id} and GET /api/Treaties/{id}/CommitteeReports. Every operation on this API is a read-only GET, so nothing the agent calls can write to or change parliamentary records. The API is open-access with no credential to manage, and you keep the agent scoped to only the treaty-scrutiny lookups you intend it to perform.
