Through Jentic you install once, import Rotten Tomatoes from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it. - **Permission scoping:** Rotten Tomatoes takes its search and lookup terms in the request, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as searching movies or fetching box-office lists. You choose which operations it may call, and it can run only those. - **Credential handling:** Your Rotten Tomatoes 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. - **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'search for a movie' or 'get current box-office movies', and Jentic returns the matching Rotten Tomatoes operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs. ## Related APIs - **Github** — Alternative developer tools API - **Gitlab** — Alternative developer tools API ## FAQ ### What authentication does the Rotten Tomatoes use?
