# SmartSuite API

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.

## For AI agents

Programmatically list records in a table, create a record. Covers 5 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.

## Capabilities

- List records in a table
- Create a record
- Get a record
- Update a record
- Delete a record

## Use cases

### 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.

Example prompt: 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.

Example prompt: 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'list records in a table', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| POST | /applications/{table_id}/records/list | List records in a table |
| POST | /applications/{table_id}/records | Create a record |
| GET | /applications/{table_id}/records/{record_id} | Get a record |
| PATCH | /applications/{table_id}/records/{record_id} | Update a record |
| DELETE | /applications/{table_id}/records/{record_id} | Delete a record |

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring SmartSuite by hand means handling its API key in the Authorization header against app.smartsuite.com and managing retries yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SmartSuite API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** SmartSuite puts the table id in the URL path (/applications/{table_id}/records/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one table: it can list, read, and create records there. You choose the operations it may call, so deleting a record is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your SmartSuite key 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 'list records in a table' or 'create a record', and Jentic returns the matching SmartSuite operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### 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 your Jentic One instance 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 through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, 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.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SmartSuite API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which SmartSuite operations and credentials the agent may use. SmartSuite puts the table id in the URL path (/applications/{table_id}/records/...), so you can pin the agent to a single table and grant only the operations you want, such as listing, reading, and creating records. Deleting or updating a record stays off the table unless you explicitly add those operations to what the agent is allowed to call.
