### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Pets Adoptions 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 bearer tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'add a new adoption', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Pets Adoptions API by hand means obtaining the PetCo API key, sending it as a bearer token on every request, and coding the create, list and update flows yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Pets Adoptions API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The Pets Adoptions API puts the adoption id in the URL path (/adoptions/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to updating a single adoption. You choose the operations it may call, so creating a new adoption is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your PetCo bearer token 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 'create a new pet adoption' or 'update the status of an adoption', and Jentic returns the matching Pets Adoptions API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Pets Adoptions API use?

The Pets Adoptions API uses a Bearer token 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 add a new adoption with the Pets Adoptions API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Pets Adoptions 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 add a new adoption through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'add a new adoption'. Jentic returns the matching Pets Adoptions API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Pets Adoptions API have?

The Pets Adoptions API exposes 3 endpoints covering adoptions operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Pets Adoptions API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use across the three endpoints: POST /adoptions to add an adoption, GET /adoptions to list them, and PATCH /adoptions/{id} to update a status. Because the adoption id sits in the URL path, you can pin the agent to updating a single adoption, and you choose which operations it may call, so creating a new adoption is excluded unless you add it. The bearer token stays in your instance and is injected at execution time rather than being exposed to the agent.
