Can I execute salt commands via rpc-style requests with the Salt REST CherryPy API?

Yes. Use the POST / endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Salt REST CherryPy 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 execute salt commands via rpc-style requests through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'execute salt commands via rpc-style requests'. Jentic returns the matching Salt REST CherryPy API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Salt REST CherryPy API have?

The Salt REST CherryPy API exposes 17 endpoints covering events, hook, jobs operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Salt REST CherryPy API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which Salt operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Salt puts the minion id in the URL path (/minions/{mid}), you can pin the agent to specific minions so it reads only the ones you allow and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so command execution such as posting to the run endpoint is excluded unless you add it.
