For Agents

Programmatically migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage), checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas. Covers 76 operations with apiKey authentication.

Quickstart

Get started with Instance API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Scaleway Instances are virtual machines in the cloud. Different [Instance types](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/instances/reference-content/choosing-instance-type/) offer different technical specifications in terms of vCPU, RAM, bandwidth and storage. Once you have created your Instance and installed your image of choice (e.g. an operating system), you can [connect to your Instance via SSH](http. The API exposes 76 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Instance API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Cloud Infrastructure Operations

Use the Instance API to perform cloud infrastructure operations programmatically. The API provides 76 endpoints covering core functionality including migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage), checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas, get a volume or snapshot's migration plan.

Call POST /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/block-migration/apply to migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)

Automated Instances Management

Automate instances operations by combining multiple Instance API endpoints. Agents can checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas and then get a volume or snapshot's migration plan in a single workflow.

Call POST /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/block-migration/check-organization-quotas to checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Instance 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 'migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

76 endpoints — scaleway instances are virtual machines in the cloud.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Instance 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., 'migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)') and Jentic returns the matching Instance API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Instance API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Instance API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Instance API use?

The Instance API uses an API key passed in the `X-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 migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage) with the Instance API?

Yes. Use the POST /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/block-migration/apply endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Instance 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 migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage) through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)'. Jentic returns the matching Instance API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Instance API have?

The Instance API exposes 76 endpoints covering instances, images, security groups operations.
