Install Jentic One Beta
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.
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%2Fretable.io%2Fretable" | 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%2Fretable.io%2Fretable" | 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.
Insert a row
Get rows from a table
Update a row
Delete rows
Create a workspace
Patterns agents use Retable API for, with concrete tasks.
GET STARTED
★ 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

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Retable API by hand means passing your ApiKey with its RTBL-v1 prefix, targeting the api.retable.io/v1/public host, and managing workspace, project, and row calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Retable API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Retable API puts the retable id in the URL path (/retable/{retable_id}/data), so a rule can pin your agent to one retable: it can read and insert rows there and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like row deletion are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Retable 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 'insert a row' or 'read data from a retable', and Jentic returns the matching Retable API 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 Retable 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 your Jentic One instance 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 through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, 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.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Retable API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself and your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use, you control exactly which Retable API calls it can make. Since the Retable API carries the retable id in the URL path, such as /retable/{retable_id}/data, you can pin the agent to a single retable so it only reads and inserts rows there. You also choose the operations it may call, so a destructive action like DELETE /retable/{retable_id}/data is excluded unless you explicitly allow it.
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
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for productivity only.
