### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call perfectpdf 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 none tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'returns pdf document.', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the perfectpdf API by hand means building the POST request to services.scideas.net, handling the document payload, and writing your own retry logic. Through Jentic you install once, import perfectpdf from the API Directory, store its credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The perfectpdf API exposes a single PDF-generation operation, so you limit the agent to the operation it needs. You choose what it may call, and nothing else in the directory is reachable unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your perfectpdf credential 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'generate a PDF document', and Jentic returns the matching perfectpdf operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

You can grant the agent access to only this one HTML-to-PDF operation, and nothing else in the directory is reachable unless you add it. The credential is stored encrypted by your own instance and injected at execution time, so it never enters the agent's prompt or logs.
