Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the The SMS Works API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the The SMS Works 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%2Fthesmsworks.co.uk%2Fthe-sms-works-api" | 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%2Fthesmsworks.co.uk%2Fthe-sms-works-api" | 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.

Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query The SMS Works API 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.

Poll the primary The SMS Works API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call The SMS Works 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 'sendflashmessage', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring The SMS Works by hand means exchanging your credentials for a JWT, passing it in the Authorization header on each send, and handling your own retries. Through Jentic you install once, import The SMS Works from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The SMS Works takes the recipient in the request body rather than an owned URL path, so scope it by operations: limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as sending a flash message, and leave out anything else. Every operation you credit it with stays inside that allowed set.

Credential isolation

Your The SMS Works credential 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 'send a flash SMS', and Jentic returns the matching The SMS Works operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using The SMS Works API through Jentic.

What authentication does the The SMS Works API use?

The The SMS Works API uses an API key passed 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 sendflashmessage with the The SMS Works API?

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

What are the rate limits for the The SMS Works 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 sendflashmessage through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the The SMS Works API have?

The The SMS Works API exposes 18 endpoints covering batch, batches, credits operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the The SMS Works API?

Yes. Because The SMS Works takes the recipient in the request body rather than an owned URL path, you scope the agent by operations in your self-hosted Jentic One instance, where your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. Grant it only the operations it needs, such as POST /message/flash to send a flash message, and leave out the rest of the 18 endpoints like credits, batches, and message queries. Every operation you credit the agent with stays inside that allowed set, and anything you do not grant it cannot call.
