## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Airport Status Web Service by hand means coding requests against the FAA host and parsing the delay and status responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Airport Status Web Service from the API Directory, and your agent calls it with no credential to manage.
- **Permission scoping:** The Airport Status Web Service takes the airport code in the URL path (/api/airport/status/{airportCode}) for read-only status and delay lookups, so a rule can pin your agent to status for one airport alongside the national delay summary: you choose the operations it may call, so it only reads what you allow.
- **Credential handling:** This API needs no credential, so there is nothing to store; if that changes, any credential would be stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, never entering the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get the delay summary for major US airports' or 'get status for an airport by code', and Jentic returns the matching Airport Status Web Service operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
