For Agents
Programmatically get authenticated user, create a project. Covers 22 operations with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Pivotal Tracker 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 | shStep 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 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 Pivotal Tracker API.
Get authenticated user
Create a project
List all projects
Update a project
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to authenticated user, I want to a project, Search for all projects, Find all a project
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for productivity only.
Pivotal Tracker is an agile project management tool. The API provides access to projects, stories, epics, labels, iterations, memberships, and activity. The API exposes 22 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

Patterns agents use Pivotal Tracker API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Productivity Operations
Use the Pivotal Tracker API to perform productivity operations programmatically. The API provides 22 endpoints covering core functionality including get authenticated user, create a project, list all projects.
Call GET /me to get authenticated user
Automated Account Management
Automate account operations by combining multiple Pivotal Tracker API endpoints. Agents can create a project and then list all projects in a single workflow.
Call POST /projects to create a project, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Pivotal Tracker API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get authenticated user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Pivotal Tracker API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'get authenticated user') and Jentic returns the matching Pivotal Tracker API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Pivotal Tracker API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Pivotal Tracker API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Pivotal Tracker API use?
The Pivotal Tracker API uses an API key passed in the `X-TrackerToken` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I get authenticated user with the Pivotal Tracker API?
Yes. Use the GET /me endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Pivotal Tracker API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I get authenticated user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get authenticated user'. Jentic returns the matching Pivotal Tracker API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Pivotal Tracker API have?
The Pivotal Tracker API exposes 22 endpoints covering account, activity, epics operations.
