Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sage HR 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%2Fsage.hr%2Fsage-hr" | 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%2Fsage.hr%2Fsage-hr" | 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 Sage HR API.
List employees
Get employee
Integrate Sage HR API into automated workflows
Query and filter Sage HR API records by parameters
Monitor Sage HR API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use Sage HR API for, with concrete tasks.
★ HR and Recruiting Operations
Use the Sage HR API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 7 endpoints covering core functionality including list employees, get employee, list leave requests.
Call GET /employees to list employees
Automated Employees Management
Automate employees operations by combining multiple Sage HR API endpoints. Agents can get employee and then list leave requests in a single workflow.
Call GET /employees/{id} to get employee, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Sage HR 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 employees', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Sage HR API by hand means managing its API key, attaching it to each call against api.sage.hr, and handling your own retries. Through Jentic you install once, import the Sage HR API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Sage HR puts the employee id in the URL path (/employees/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one employee. You choose the operations it may call, so it can read employees, leave requests, and timesheets without any write access unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Sage HR 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 'list employees' or 'look up leave requests', and Jentic returns the matching Sage HR API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Sage HR API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Sage HR API use?
The Sage HR API uses an API key passed in the `X-Auth-Token` 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 list employees with the Sage HR API?
Yes. Use the GET /employees endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Sage HR 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 employees through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'list employees'. Jentic returns the matching Sage HR API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Sage HR API have?
The Sage HR API exposes 7 endpoints covering employees, leave, organization operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Sage HR API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Sage HR operations and credentials the agent may use. Since Sage HR carries the employee id in the URL path (/employees/{id}), you can pin the agent to reading a single employee, and you can grant only read calls such as GET /employees, GET /leave-requests, and GET /timesheets while withholding any write access. The agent can call nothing you have not explicitly allowed.
For Agents
Programmatically list employees, get employee. Covers 7 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to employees, I want to employee, Search for leave requests, Find all leave request
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for hr and recruiting only.
Sage HR (formerly CakeHR) API for managing employees, leave requests, timesheets, and HR data. The API exposes 7 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
