# Stedi Manager

stedi.com/stedi-manager-api version 2024-04-01. The API exposes 5 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically batcheligibilitychecks, getbatch. Covers 5 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

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

## Capabilities

- BatchEligibilityChecks
- GetBatch
- GetEligibilityCheckPdf
- BatchEligibilityPolling
- Monitor Stedi Manager operational status and events

## Use cases

### Developer Tools Operations

Use the Stedi Manager to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 5 endpoints covering core functionality including batcheligibilitychecks, getbatch, getbatchitems.

Example prompt: Call POST `/eligibility-manager/batch-eligibility` to batcheligibilitychecks

### Automated Eligibility Manager Management

Automate eligibility manager operations by combining multiple Stedi Manager endpoints. Agents can getbatch and then getbatchitems in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET `/eligibility-manager/batch/{batchId}` to getbatch, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Stedi Manager 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 'batcheligibilitychecks', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring Stedi Manager by hand means handling its API-key auth in the Authorization header, targeting the US manager host at manager.us.stedi.com, and polling batch eligibility jobs to completion yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Stedi Manager from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Stedi Manager puts the batch id in the URL path (`/eligibility-manager/batch/{batchId}/...`), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one batch and its items. You choose the operations it may call, so starting new batch eligibility runs is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Stedi Manager API 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 'start a batch eligibility run' or 'get the items in an eligibility batch', and Jentic returns the matching Stedi Manager operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Stedi Manager use?

The Stedi Manager 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 batcheligibilitychecks with the Stedi Manager?

Yes. Use the POST `/eligibility-manager/batch-eligibility` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Stedi Manager?

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 batcheligibilitychecks through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Stedi Manager have?

The Stedi Manager exposes 5 endpoints covering eligibility manager operations.

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

Yes. Because you self-host Jentic One, your own rules decide which Stedi Manager operations and credentials your agent may use. Since the API puts the batch id in the URL path (`/eligibility-manager/batch/{batchId}/items`), you can pin the agent to reading a single batch and its items or fetching a check PDF, while leaving out starting new batch eligibility runs with POST `/eligibility-manager/batch-eligibility.` Only the operations you explicitly allow are available to the agent.
