For Agents

Programmatically list all projects, get project details. Covers 11 operations with apiKey authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Sifter API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sifter 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Sifter API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the Sifter API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 11 endpoints covering core functionality including list all projects, get project details, get project milestones.

Call GET /projects to list all projects

Automated Projects Management

Automate projects operations by combining multiple Sifter API endpoints. Agents can get project details and then get project milestones in a single workflow.

Call GET /projects/{projectId} to get project details, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Sifter 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 all projects', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Sifter 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., 'list all projects') and Jentic returns the matching Sifter API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Sifter 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 Sifter API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Sifter API use?

The Sifter API uses an API key passed in the `X-Sifter-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 list all projects with the Sifter API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Sifter 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 all projects through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list all projects'. Jentic returns the matching Sifter API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Sifter API have?

The Sifter API exposes 11 endpoints covering projects, issues, comments operations.
