For Agents
Programmatically show me all applicable advisories for all my systems, show me details an advisory by given advisory name. Covers 21 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 Patchman-engine 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 Patchman-engine API.
Show me all applicable advisories for all my systems
Export applicable advisories for all my systems
Integrate Patchman-engine API into automated workflows
Query and filter Patchman-engine API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to show me all applicable advisories for all my systems, I want to show me details an advisory by given advisory name, Search for show me systems on which the given advisory is applicable, Find all export applicable advisories for all my systems
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for analytics only.
API of the Patch application on [cloud.redhat.com](cloud.redhat.com) Syntax of the `filter[name]` query parameters is described in [Filters documentation](https://github.com/RedHatInsights/patchman-engine/wiki/API-custom-filters). The API exposes 21 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor Patchman-engine API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Patchman-engine API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Analytics Operations
Use the Patchman-engine API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 21 endpoints covering core functionality including show me all applicable advisories for all my systems, show me details an advisory by given advisory name, show me systems on which the given advisory is applicable.
Call GET /api/patch/v1/advisories to show me all applicable advisories for all my systems
Automated api Management
Automate api operations by combining multiple Patchman-engine API endpoints. Agents can show me details an advisory by given advisory name and then show me systems on which the given advisory is applicable in a single workflow.
Call GET /api/patch/v1/advisories/{advisory_id} to show me details an advisory by given advisory name, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Patchman-engine 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 'show me all applicable advisories for all my systems', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Patchman-engine 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., 'show me all applicable advisories for all my systems') and Jentic returns the matching Patchman-engine API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Patchman-engine 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 Patchman-engine API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Patchman-engine API use?
The Patchman-engine API uses an API key passed in the `x-rh-identity` 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 show me all applicable advisories for all my systems with the Patchman-engine API?
Yes. Use the GET /api/patch/v1/advisories endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Patchman-engine 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 show me all applicable advisories for all my systems through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'show me all applicable advisories for all my systems'. Jentic returns the matching Patchman-engine API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Patchman-engine API have?
The Patchman-engine API exposes 21 endpoints covering api operations.
