For Agents
Programmatically list records in a table, create a record. Covers 5 operations with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SmartSuite 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 | shStep 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 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 SmartSuite API.
List records in a table
Create a record
Get a record
Update a record
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to records in a table, I want to a record, Search for a record, Find all a record
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for developer tools only.
SmartSuite is a work management platform. The API provides CRUD operations on records within solutions/tables. The API exposes 5 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Delete a record
Patterns agents use SmartSuite API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the SmartSuite API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 5 endpoints covering core functionality including list records in a table, create a record, get a record.
Call POST /applications/{table_id}/records/list to list records in a table
Automated Records Management
Automate records operations by combining multiple SmartSuite API endpoints. Agents can create a record and then get a record in a single workflow.
Call POST /applications/{table_id}/records to create a record, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SmartSuite 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 records in a table', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
SmartSuite 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 records in a table') and Jentic returns the matching SmartSuite API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct SmartSuite API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Specific to using SmartSuite API through Jentic.
What authentication does the SmartSuite API use?
The SmartSuite API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` 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 records in a table with the SmartSuite API?
Yes. Use the POST /applications/{table_id}/records/list endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SmartSuite 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 records in a table through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list records in a table'. Jentic returns the matching SmartSuite API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the SmartSuite API have?
The SmartSuite API exposes 5 endpoints covering records operations.
