Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Phare, 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%2Fphare.io%2Fphare" | 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%2Fphare.io%2Fphare" | 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 Phare API.
Create HTTP, TCP, or ICMP uptime monitors with check regions, an interval, and success assertions
Pause and resume a monitor during planned work, or delete it
Report uptime statistics for one monitor or the whole project between from and to timestamps
Open an incident with an impact such as partial_outage or major_outage and post updates through investigating to resolved
GET STARTED
Schedule, cancel, and complete maintenance windows tied to monitors and status pages
Publish status pages with a subdomain or custom domain and read a page's current status
Route alert events to Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, SMS, or outgoing webhook integrations
Patterns agents use Phare API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Incident response agent through Jentic
When an alert fires, an AI agent can handle the status communication while engineers fix the problem. Through Jentic the agent searches for 'open an uptime incident', loads the Phare createUptimeIncident operation with its input schema, and opens an incident with a title, impact, and exclude_from_downtime flag, then posts updates as the state moves from investigating to resolved. The bearer token is injected at call time by your own Jentic One instance.
Call POST /uptime/incidents with title 'Checkout errors', impact 'partial_outage', and exclude_from_downtime false, then POST /uptime/incidents/{incidentId}/updates with state 'identified' and content describing the cause
Monitor setup from a service inventory
Platform teams add monitoring as part of shipping a new service. Creating a Phare monitor needs a name, a protocol of http, tcp, or icmp, the request to send, and between one and six regions, with an optional interval, timeout, success assertions, and confirmation counts before an incident opens or recovers.
Call POST /uptime/monitors with name 'Marketing site', protocol 'http', a request for https://example.com, regions from the spec's region list, and interval 60
Deploy-safe maintenance windows
Planned work should not page anyone or count as downtime. A maintenance window needs a title, monitoring_mode, starts_at, and ends_at, and can attach monitors and status pages so visitors see the scheduled work. Windows can be cancelled or completed early, and individual monitors can be paused and resumed around a deploy.
Call POST /uptime/maintenance-windows with title 'Database upgrade', monitoring_mode, starts_at, and ends_at for the planned slot, then POST /uptime/maintenance-windows/{maintenanceWindowId}/complete when the work finishes
Uptime reporting for stakeholders
Monthly service reviews need uptime numbers per service. The project report aggregates uptime statistics for a from and to window, and the per-monitor report breaks out a single monitor, so an agent can assemble a summary without exporting from the dashboard.
Call GET /uptime/reports with from and to covering last month, then GET /uptime/monitors/{monitorId}/report for the lowest-uptime monitor
48 endpoints — the phare api runs uptime monitoring, incidents, and status pages for the phare.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Phare by hand means creating a bearer token, sending it in the Authorization header, and adding an X-Phare-Project-Id or X-Phare-Project-Slug header on project operations when the key is organization-scoped. Through Jentic you install once, import Phare from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Phare puts the monitor id in the URL path (/uptime/monitors/{monitorId}/pause), so a rule can pin your agent to one monitor and the operations you pick. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a monitor or a status page are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Phare token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'open an uptime incident' or 'pause a monitor', and Jentic returns the matching Phare operation with its input schema, including the required fields, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Phare API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Phare API use?
The Phare API authenticates with a bearer token (BearerAuth) per its OpenAPI spec, sent as 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'. With an organization-scoped API key, project-level operations also need an X-Phare-Project-Id or X-Phare-Project-Slug header to pick the project. Through Jentic the token is stored by your own instance and attached at call time.
Can I pause a monitor during a deploy with the Phare API?
Yes. POST /uptime/monitors/{monitorId}/pause stops checks for that monitor and POST /uptime/monitors/{monitorId}/resume starts them again. For longer planned work, a maintenance window attaches monitors and status pages to a scheduled starts_at and ends_at.
What are the rate limits for the Phare API?
The OpenAPI spec does not specify API rate limits. Check the Phare documentation at https://docs.phare.io for current limits. Note that the rate_limit field on alert rules controls how often an alert fires, not how often you can call the API.
Is there a Phare MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent Phare. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your token once, and your agent calls the monitor, incident, and status page operations on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context.
How do I open an incident through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'open an uptime incident', load the POST /uptime/incidents operation, and execute it with the required title, impact, and exclude_from_downtime fields, optionally linking monitors. Then post progress with the incident updates operation. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Phare API?
Yes. Write a rule that allows GET /uptime/monitors/{monitorId}/report plus the pause and resume operations for one monitor id, and the agent can read that monitor's uptime and pause it around a deploy while other monitors and status pages stay untouched. Every call it makes is logged for review.
For Agents
Create and pause Phare uptime monitors, read uptime reports, open and update incidents, schedule maintenance windows, and manage status pages and alert rules.
Use for: Create an HTTP monitor for https://example.com checking every minute, Pause the monitor for the API while we deploy, Get the uptime report for last month, Open a major outage incident for the checkout service
Not supported: Does not collect application logs, traces, or performance metrics, and does not run on-call paging schedules. Use for uptime monitors, incidents, maintenance windows, and status pages only.
The Phare API runs uptime monitoring, incidents, and status pages for the phare.io platform. It creates HTTP, TCP, and ICMP monitors that check from up to six regions at intervals from 30 seconds to an hour, pauses and resumes them, and reports uptime statistics per monitor or across a project for a time window. Incidents carry an impact level and a timeline of updates, maintenance windows can be scheduled, cancelled, or completed, and alert rules route events to integrations such as Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, SMS, ntfy, ilert, Pushover, and outgoing webhooks.
