For Agents

Programmatically sign in to tableau server, sign out. Covers 136 operations with apiKey authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Tableau REST API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Tableau REST 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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 Tableau REST API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Identity and Authentication Operations

Use the Tableau REST API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 136 endpoints covering core functionality including sign in to tableau server, sign out, switch to another site.

Call POST /auth/signin to sign in to tableau server

Automated Authentication Management

Automate authentication operations by combining multiple Tableau REST API endpoints. Agents can sign out and then switch to another site in a single workflow.

Call POST /auth/signout to sign out, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Tableau REST 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.

Search Jentic for 'sign in to tableau server', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Tableau REST API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'sign in to tableau server') and Jentic returns the matching Tableau REST API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Tableau REST API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Tableau REST API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Tableau REST API use?

The Tableau REST API uses an API key passed in the `X-Tableau-Auth` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I sign in to tableau server with the Tableau REST API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Tableau REST 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 sign in to tableau server through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'sign in to tableau server'. Jentic returns the matching Tableau REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Tableau REST API have?

The Tableau REST API exposes 136 endpoints covering authentication, sites, projects operations.
