For Agents

Programmatically create a runtime policy, list runtime policies. Covers 65 operations with bearer authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Sysdig Secure API to your agent

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

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsysdig.com%2Fsysdig" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsysdig.com%2Fsysdig" | 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 Sysdig Secure API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Security Operations

Use the Sysdig Secure API to perform security operations programmatically. The API provides 65 endpoints covering core functionality including create a runtime policy, list runtime policies, get policy by id.

Call POST /api/v1/secure/policies to create a runtime policy

Automated Policies Management

Automate policies operations by combining multiple Sysdig Secure API endpoints. Agents can list runtime policies and then get policy by id in a single workflow.

Call GET /api/v1/secure/policies to list runtime policies, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Sysdig Secure 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.

Search Jentic for 'create a runtime policy', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Setup

Wiring the Sysdig Secure API by hand means learning its bearer token scheme, choosing the right regional host from us1 through us4 or eu1 on sysdig.com, and shaping the policy and rule requests yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Sysdig Secure from the API Directory, store the bearer token once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Sysdig puts the policy and rule ids in the URL path (/secure/policies/{id}, /secure/rules/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to one policy: it can read and update that policy and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a policy or rule are not included unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your Sysdig 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.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a runtime policy' or 'list secure rules', and Jentic returns the matching Sysdig operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Sysdig Secure API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Sysdig Secure API use?

The Sysdig Secure 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 create a runtime policy with the Sysdig Secure API?

Yes. Use the POST /api/v1/secure/policies endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Sysdig Secure 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 create a runtime policy through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a runtime policy'. Jentic returns the matching Sysdig Secure API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Sysdig Secure API have?

The Sysdig Secure API exposes 65 endpoints covering policies, rules, alerts operations.
