### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Storm Glass Marine Weather 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 'get hourly forecasts by coordinates', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GET | `/forecast` | Get hourly forecasts by coordinates |

## Key resources

- **forecast** — Get forecast for coordinates

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring Storm Glass Marine Weather by hand means sending its key in the Authentication-Token header on every call to api.stormglass.io and passing the coordinate and parameter query fields for each forecast yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Storm Glass Marine Weather from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** This API takes the location in query parameters rather than a resource id in the URL path, so scope by operation: this endpoint exposes a single read operation, fetching a marine forecast by coordinates, and you decide whether the agent may call it. Nothing beyond the operations you add is available to the agent.
- **Credential handling:** Your Storm Glass Marine Weather 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 'get an hourly marine forecast for a location', and Jentic returns the matching Storm Glass Marine Weather operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Storm Glass Marine Weather use?

The Storm Glass Marine Weather uses an API key passed in the `Authentication-Token` 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 get hourly forecasts by coordinates with the Storm Glass Marine Weather?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Storm Glass Marine Weather?

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 get hourly forecasts by coordinates through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get hourly forecasts by coordinates'. Jentic returns the matching Storm Glass Marine Weather operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Storm Glass Marine Weather have?

The Storm Glass Marine Weather exposes 1 endpoints covering forecast operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Storm Glass Marine Weather API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which operations your agent may call, and the Storm Glass Marine Weather API exposes only a single read operation: GET /forecast, which fetches an hourly marine forecast by coordinates. Add that operation if you want the agent to retrieve forecasts, or leave it out entirely, since nothing beyond the operations you add is available to the agent. Your API key is held by your own instance and injected at call time, so the agent never gains access to the credential or to any endpoint you have not scoped in.
