For Agents
Programmatically insert a row, get rows from a table. Covers 17 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to insert a row, I want to rows from a table, Search for a row, Find all rows
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Retable 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# 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 Retable API API.
Insert a row
Get rows from a table
Update a row
Delete rows
Create a workspace
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for productivity only.
Retable API for managing workspaces, projects, tables (retables), rows, and columns in a spreadsheet-like database. The API exposes 17 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Patterns agents use Retable API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Productivity Operations
Use the Retable API to perform productivity operations programmatically. The API provides 17 endpoints covering core functionality including insert a row, get rows from a table, update a row.
Call POST /retable/{retable_id}/data to insert a row
Automated Columns Management
Automate columns operations by combining multiple Retable API endpoints. Agents can get rows from a table and then update a row in a single workflow.
Call GET /retable/{retable_id}/data to get rows from a table, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Retable 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 'insert a row', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Retable 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., 'insert a row') and Jentic returns the matching Retable API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Retable 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 Retable API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Retable API use?
The Retable API uses an API key passed in the `ApiKey` 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 insert a row with the Retable API?
Yes. Use the POST /retable/{retable_id}/data endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Retable 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 insert a row through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'insert a row'. Jentic returns the matching Retable API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Retable API have?
The Retable API exposes 17 endpoints covering columns, data, files operations.
/workspace
Get all workspaces
/workspace/{workspace_id}
Get a specific workspace
/workspace/{workspace_id}/project
Create a project
