Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Terminal 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%2Fsandbox.withterminal.com%2Fsandbox-withterminal" | 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%2Fsandbox.withterminal.com%2Fsandbox-withterminal" | 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 Terminal API.
Public Token Exchange
Create Connection
List All Connections
Get Current Connection
Update Current Connection
GET STARTED
Request Sync
Patterns agents use Terminal API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the Terminal API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 29 endpoints covering core functionality including public token exchange, create connection, list all connections.
Call POST /public-token/exchange to public token exchange
Automated Vehicles Management
Automate vehicles operations by combining multiple Terminal API endpoints. Agents can create connection and then list all connections in a single workflow.
Call POST /connections to create connection, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Terminal 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 bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'public token exchange', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
29 endpoints — terminal is a unified api that makes it easy to integrate with the leading telematics service providers.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Terminal API by hand means implementing its bearer token auth, running the public-token exchange to open connections, and polling sync status yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Terminal API from the API Directory, store the bearer token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
You choose which Terminal API operations your agent may call, so a rule can limit it to the operations it needs, such as starting a sync and reading sync status, while leaving out connection changes like updating the current connection. Every operation the agent runs is one you added to that allowed set.
Credential isolation
Your Terminal API bearer token 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 'exchange a public token' or 'check sync status', and Jentic returns the matching Terminal API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Terminal API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Terminal API use?
The Terminal API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization 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 public token exchange with the Terminal API?
Yes. Use the POST /public-token/exchange endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Terminal 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 public token exchange through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'public token exchange'. Jentic returns the matching Terminal API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Terminal API have?
The Terminal API exposes 29 endpoints covering vehicles, connections, data management operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Terminal API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Terminal API operations and credentials the agent can use. You can allow a read-and-sync agent to call only POST /syncs to start a sync and GET /syncs/{id} to read sync job status, while leaving out connection changes such as PATCH /connections/current. Every operation the agent runs is one you added to that allowed set.
