# Usac93 Password Flow OAuth2

This is an example of using OAuth2 Password Flow in a specification to describe security to your API. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically server example operation, server heartbeat operation. Covers 2 operations with oauth2 authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for security only.

## Capabilities

- Server example operation
- Manage security data programmatically
- Integrate Password Flow OAuth2 into automated workflows
- Query and filter Password Flow OAuth2 records by parameters
- Monitor Password Flow OAuth2 operational status and events

## Use cases

### Security Operations

Use the Password Flow OAuth2 to perform security operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including server example operation, server heartbeat operation.

Example prompt: Call GET /example to server example operation

### Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query Password Flow OAuth2 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.

Example prompt: Poll the primary Password Flow OAuth2 endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Password Flow OAuth2 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 oauth2 tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'server example operation', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GET | /example | Server example operation |
| GET | /ping | Server heartbeat operation |

## Key resources

- **example** — Operations related to example
- **ping** — Operations related to ping

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Password Flow OAuth2 API by hand means implementing its OAuth2 password flow, managing token refresh, and building your own retries around the example and ping endpoints. Through Jentic you install once, import this API from the API Directory, store the OAuth2 credentials once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as calling the example endpoint or the ping health check, rather than the whole surface. Because you pick the allowed operations, the agent only ever runs the calls you authorize.
- **Credential handling:** Your Password Flow OAuth2 credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'call the example operation' or 'ping the service', 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 Password Flow OAuth2 use?

The Password Flow OAuth2 uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 server example operation with the Password Flow OAuth2?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Password Flow OAuth2?

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 server example operation through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'server example operation'. Jentic returns the matching Password Flow OAuth2 operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Password Flow OAuth2 have?

The Password Flow OAuth2 exposes 2 endpoints covering example, ping operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Password Flow OAuth2 API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which of this API's operations the agent may call and which credentials it may use. You can allow just the operations the agent needs, such as GET /example for the server example operation or GET /ping for the health check, instead of exposing the whole surface. Because you pick the authorized operations, the agent only ever runs the calls you permit.
