### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Account Validation 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 'account eligibility for ach transactions', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Account Validation API by hand means placing its apikey in the query string on every call against the api.afinis.org host and formatting the validate POST yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Account Validation API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The account details for this API travel in the request body, not the URL path, so scope by operation: limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as validating an account, and leave everything else out. You choose the operations it may call, so it does only what you allow.
- **Credential handling:** Your Account Validation 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 'check account eligibility for ACH transactions', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Account Validation API use?

The Account Validation API uses an API key passed in the `apikey` query. 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 account eligibility for ach transactions with the Account Validation API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Account Validation 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 account eligibility for ach transactions through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Account Validation API have?

The Account Validation API exposes 1 endpoints covering validate operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which of this API's operations the agent may call, and its only operation is validating an account for ACH eligibility via POST /validate. Import the Account Validation API and grant the agent just the validate operation, leaving everything else out of reach. The account details travel in the request body rather than the URL, so scoping happens at the operation level, and the agent does only what your own rules permit.
