For Agents
Programmatically create asset, list assets. Covers 20 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 Reftab 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%2Freftab.com%2Freftab" | 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%2Freftab.com%2Freftab" | 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 Reftab API.
Create asset
List assets
Get asset
Update asset
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to asset, I want to assets, Search for asset, Find all asset
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for e-commerce only.
Asset management software with check in and check out. Track assets with barcodes and manage inventory. The API exposes 20 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Delete asset
Patterns agents use Reftab API for, with concrete tasks.
★ E-Commerce Operations
Use the Reftab API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 20 endpoints covering core functionality including create asset, list assets, get asset.
Call POST /assets to create asset
Automated Assets Management
Automate assets operations by combining multiple Reftab API endpoints. Agents can list assets and then get asset in a single workflow.
Call GET /assets to list assets, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Reftab 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 'create asset', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Reftab API by hand means setting your key in the X-API-Key header on every call and building your own retry handling against the www.reftab.com host. Through Jentic you install once, import the Reftab API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Reftab API puts the asset and checkout ids in the URL path (/assets/{assetId} and /checkouts/{checkoutId}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading and updating a given asset. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting an asset are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Reftab API key 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 'create an asset' or 'list checkouts', and Jentic returns the matching Reftab API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Reftab API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Reftab API use?
The Reftab API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header. 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 create asset with the Reftab API?
Yes. Use the POST /assets endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Reftab 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 create asset through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create asset'. Jentic returns the matching Reftab API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Reftab API have?
The Reftab API exposes 20 endpoints covering assets, locations, users operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Reftab API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Reftab API operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the API puts asset and checkout ids in the URL path, such as /assets/{assetId} and /checkouts/{checkoutId}, you can pin the agent to reading and updating a specific asset. You also choose the operations it can call, so a destructive one like deleting an asset stays off limits unless you add it.
