For Agents

Programmatically request an access token. Covers 1 operations with basic, oauth2 authentication.

Connect the Auth Service to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Auth Service, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

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 | sh

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 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 Auth Service API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Identity and Authentication Operations

Use the Auth Service to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including request an access token.

Call POST /auth/token to request an access token

Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query Auth Service resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Poll the primary Auth Service endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Auth Service 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, oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'request an access token', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Auth Service basic, oauth2 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., 'request an access token') and Jentic returns the matching Auth Service operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Auth Service integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Auth Service API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Auth Service use?

The Auth Service uses basic, oauth2 authentication. 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 request an access token with the Auth Service?

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

What are the rate limits for the Auth Service?

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 request an access token through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'request an access token'. Jentic returns the matching Auth Service operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Auth Service have?

The Auth Service exposes 1 endpoints covering authorization operations.
