For Agents

Programmatically validate credentials, logout. Covers 7 operations with basic, bearer authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the SonarQube Web API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SonarQube Web 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsonarqube.org%2Fsonarqube" | sh

Step 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%2Fsonarqube.org%2Fsonarqube" | 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 SonarQube Web API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Security Operations

Use the SonarQube Web API to perform security operations programmatically. The API provides 7 endpoints covering core functionality including validate credentials, logout, search projects.

Call GET /authentication/validate to validate credentials

Automated authentication Management

Automate authentication operations by combining multiple SonarQube Web API endpoints. Agents can logout and then search projects in a single workflow.

Call POST /authentication/logout to logout, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SonarQube Web 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 basic, bearer tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'validate credentials', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the SonarQube Web API by hand means choosing between basic and token bearer auth, pointing at either the sonarcloud.io/api host or a local SonarQube host, and handling paging and retries on its search calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SonarQube Web API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The SonarQube Web API targets projects and issues through query parameters rather than resource ids in the URL path, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as searching projects, searching issues, or reading component measures. You choose the operations it may call, so state-changing ones like logging a user out are not included unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your SonarQube token 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 'search issues in a project' or 'read component measures', and Jentic returns the matching SonarQube Web API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using SonarQube Web API through Jentic.

What authentication does the SonarQube Web API use?

The SonarQube Web API uses basic, bearer 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 validate credentials with the SonarQube Web API?

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

What are the rate limits for the SonarQube Web 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 validate credentials through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'validate credentials'. Jentic returns the matching SonarQube Web API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the SonarQube Web API have?

The SonarQube Web API exposes 7 endpoints covering authentication, projects, issues operations.
