### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call The Muse 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.

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

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring The Muse by hand means passing its api_key as a query parameter on every call, paging job and company listings yourself, and handling your own retries. Through Jentic you install once, import The Muse from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The Muse is a read-only listing API for jobs and companies, so scope it by operations: limit the agent to the calls it needs, such as listing jobs or fetching a company by id, and leave out any route you do not want it reaching. Every operation you credit it with stays inside that allowed set.
- **Credential handling:** Your The Muse key 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 'find remote engineering jobs' or 'get a company profile', and Jentic returns the matching The Muse operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the The Muse API use?

The The Muse API uses an API key passed in the `api_key` query. 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 list jobs with the The Muse API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the The Muse 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 list jobs through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'list jobs'. Jentic returns the matching The Muse API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the The Muse API have?

The The Muse API exposes 4 endpoints covering jobs, companies operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the The Muse API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which of The Muse API's read-only operations the agent may call, so you can grant only list jobs (GET /jobs) and get job details (GET /jobs/{jobId}) while withholding the company routes, or any subset you choose. Any operation you do not credit stays out of reach, and the API key that authorizes those calls is held by your instance and injected at execution time rather than exposed to the agent.
