Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SIGNL4 API V1, 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%2Fsignl4.com%2Fsignl4" | 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%2Fsignl4.com%2Fsignl4" | 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 SIGNL4 API V1 API.
Trigger Alert
Get Alert
Acknowledge an alert
Annotate Alert
Monitor SIGNL4 API V1 operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use SIGNL4 API V1 API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Productivity Operations
Use the SIGNL4 API V1 to perform productivity operations programmatically. The API provides 109 endpoints covering core functionality including trigger alert, get alert, acknowledge an alert.
Call POST /alerts to trigger alert
Automated Alerts Management
Automate alerts operations by combining multiple SIGNL4 API V1 endpoints. Agents can get alert and then acknowledge an alert in a single workflow.
Call GET /alerts/{alertId} to get alert, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SIGNL4 API V1 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, oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'trigger alert', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring SIGNL4 by hand means choosing between its x-s4-api-key header and OAuth2 authorization-code auth with read and write scopes, and pointing calls at https://connect.signl4.com/api. Through Jentic you install once, import SIGNL4 from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
SIGNL4 puts the alert id in the URL path (/alerts/{alertId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one alert: it can acknowledge, annotate, and read that alert and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so closing an alert is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your SIGNL4 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.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'trigger an alert' or 'acknowledge an alert', and Jentic returns the matching SIGNL4 operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using SIGNL4 API V1 API through Jentic.
What authentication does the SIGNL4 API V1 use?
The SIGNL4 API V1 uses apiKey, oauth2 authentication. 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 trigger alert with the SIGNL4 API V1?
Yes. Use the POST /alerts endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SIGNL4 API V1?
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 trigger alert through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'trigger alert'. Jentic returns the matching SIGNL4 API V1 operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the SIGNL4 API V1 have?
The SIGNL4 API V1 exposes 109 endpoints covering alerts, categories, duties operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SIGNL4 API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you set the rules that decide which SIGNL4 operations and credentials your agent may use. SIGNL4 puts the alert id in the URL path (/alerts/{alertId}), so you can pin an agent to a single alert and allow only acknowledge, annotate, and read on it. Closing an alert or triggering a new one via POST /alerts stays off limits unless you explicitly add those operations.
For Agents
Programmatically trigger alert, get alert. Covers 109 operations with apiKey, oauth2 authentication.
Use for: I need to trigger alert, I want to alert, Search for acknowledge an alert, Find all annotate alert
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for productivity only.
<p>Use our API for systems integration or to build your own use cases. Sample scenarios include but are not limited to:</p><ul><li>2-way integration: Triggering of Signls and updates in the third party systems when alert state changes occur</li><li>Retrieving alarms for logging purposes</li><li>Calendar integrations: Creation and management of on-call duties</li><li>Punch users in and out based on. The API exposes 109 endpoints secured with apiKey, oauth2 authentication.
