For Agents
Programmatically list the jobs that exist for a project, run the specified job. Covers 74 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 Rundeck 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 Rundeck API.
List the jobs that exist for a project
Run the specified job
Delete all job executions
Retry a failed job execution on failed nodes only or on the same as the executio
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to the jobs that exist for a project, I want to run the specified job, Search for job executions, Find all all job executions
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for hr and recruiting only.
Rundeck API for job scheduling and runbook automation. Provides endpoints for managing jobs, executions, projects, system configuration, storage, users, and metrics. The API exposes 74 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Export a single job definition in XML or YAML formats.
Patterns agents use Rundeck API for, with concrete tasks.
★ HR and Recruiting Operations
Use the Rundeck API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 74 endpoints covering core functionality including list the jobs that exist for a project, run the specified job, list job executions.
Call GET /api/26/project/{project}/jobs to list the jobs that exist for a project
Automated 26 Management
Automate 26 operations by combining multiple Rundeck API endpoints. Agents can run the specified job and then list job executions in a single workflow.
Call POST /api/26/job/{id}/executions to run the specified job, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Rundeck 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 'list the jobs that exist for a project', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Rundeck 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., 'list the jobs that exist for a project') and Jentic returns the matching Rundeck API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Rundeck 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 Rundeck API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Rundeck API use?
The Rundeck API uses an API key passed in the `X-Rundeck-Auth-Token` 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 list the jobs that exist for a project with the Rundeck API?
Yes. Use the GET /api/26/project/{project}/jobs endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Rundeck 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 list the jobs that exist for a project through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list the jobs that exist for a project'. Jentic returns the matching Rundeck API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Rundeck API have?
The Rundeck API exposes 74 endpoints covering 26, 34 operations.
/api/26/job/{id}
Export a single job definition in XML or YAML formats.
/api/26/job/{id}
Delete a single job definition.
/api/26/job/{id}/info
Get metadata about a specific job.
