### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Trash Nothing 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 'search groups', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Trash Nothing API by hand means setting up its API key auth against trashnothing.com and handling error responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Trash Nothing from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Trash Nothing puts the group id in the URL path (`/groups/{group_id}`) and its endpoints here are read-only, so a rule can pin your agent to reading one group, and beyond that you scope it to the operations it needs, such as listing or searching posts. Every operation you allow is one you have chosen.
- **Credential handling:** Your Trash Nothing API 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 'search groups' or 'find posts near a location', and Jentic returns the matching Trash Nothing operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Trash Nothing use?

The Trash Nothing 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 search groups with the Trash Nothing?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Trash Nothing?

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 search groups through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'search groups'. Jentic returns the matching Trash Nothing operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Trash Nothing have?

The Trash Nothing exposes 12 endpoints covering users, posts, groups operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Trash Nothing API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which Trash Nothing operations and credentials your agent may use. Because the group id sits in the URL path at GET `/groups/{group_id}` and these endpoints are read-only, you can pin the agent to reading a single group, or scope it to just the operations it needs, such as listing or searching posts with GET /posts and GET `/posts/search.` Every operation the agent can call is one you have explicitly allowed.
