For Agents

Programmatically compile and retrieve a catalog for a node, retrieve a cached catalog for a node. Covers 11 operations with mutualTLS authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Puppet HTTP API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Puppet HTTP 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 | sh

Step 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 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 Puppet HTTP API for, with concrete tasks.

★ E-Commerce Operations

Use the Puppet HTTP API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 11 endpoints covering core functionality including compile and retrieve a catalog for a node, retrieve a cached catalog for a node, retrieve node information.

Call POST /puppet/v3/catalog/{nodename} to compile and retrieve a catalog for a node

Automated Puppet Management

Automate puppet operations by combining multiple Puppet HTTP API endpoints. Agents can retrieve a cached catalog for a node and then retrieve node information in a single workflow.

Call GET /puppet/v3/catalog/{nodename} to retrieve a cached catalog for a node, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Puppet HTTP 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 mutualTLS tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'compile and retrieve a catalog for a node', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

11 endpoints — puppet server http api for managing catalogs, nodes, facts, reports, file content, file metadata, environments, and file bucket operations.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Puppet HTTP API mutualTLS 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., 'compile and retrieve a catalog for a node') and Jentic returns the matching Puppet HTTP API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Puppet HTTP API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Puppet HTTP API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Puppet HTTP API use?

The Puppet HTTP API uses mutualTLS authentication. 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 compile and retrieve a catalog for a node with the Puppet HTTP API?

Yes. Use the POST /puppet/v3/catalog/{nodename} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Puppet HTTP 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 compile and retrieve a catalog for a node through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'compile and retrieve a catalog for a node'. Jentic returns the matching Puppet HTTP API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Puppet HTTP API have?

The Puppet HTTP API exposes 11 endpoints covering puppet operations.
