Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Planful REST 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%2Fplanful.com%2Fplanful" | 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%2Fplanful.com%2Fplanful" | 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 Planful REST API.
Import financial data
Export financial data
List scenarios
Patterns agents use Planful REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Finance and Accounting Operations
Use the Planful REST API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 4 endpoints covering core functionality including import financial data, export financial data, list scenarios.
Call POST /data/import to import financial data
GET STARTED
Automated Data Management
Automate data operations by combining multiple Planful REST API endpoints. Agents can export financial data and then list scenarios in a single workflow.
Call POST /data/export to export financial data, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Planful REST 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 oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'import financial data', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Planful REST API by hand means setting up its OAuth token auth and hand-building the request plumbing for its data import, export, scenario and dimension calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Planful from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Planful's operations take their target in the request body rather than the URL path, so scoping is operations-only: limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as reading scenarios or dimensions. You choose which operations it may call, so ones like importing or exporting data are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Planful OAuth credential 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 'import financial data' or 'list scenarios', and Jentic returns the matching Planful operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Planful REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Planful REST API use?
The Planful REST API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I import financial data with the Planful REST API?
Yes. Use the POST /data/import endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Planful REST 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 import financial data through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'import financial data'. Jentic returns the matching Planful REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Planful REST API have?
The Planful REST API exposes 4 endpoints covering data, metadata, planning operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Planful REST API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which Planful operations your agent may call, and your own rules govern the OAuth credential it uses. Planful takes its target in the request body rather than the URL path, so scoping is at the operation level: you can allow read-only calls such as GET /scenarios and GET /dimensions while withholding writes like POST /data/import and POST /data/export. Any operation you do not grant stays unavailable to the agent.
For Agents
Programmatically import financial data, export financial data. Covers 4 operations with oauth2 authentication.
Use for: I need to import financial data, I want to export financial data, Search for scenarios, Find all dimensions
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for finance and accounting only.
Planful financial planning and analysis API for managing budgets, forecasts, consolidations, and financial data. The API exposes 4 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.
