# Trimble FSM API

Trimble Field Service Management API for GeoManager, fleet management, employee tracking, and work management. The API exposes 13 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically get access token, create association. Covers 13 operations with bearer authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for analytics only.

## Capabilities

- Get access token
- Create association
- Update employee
- Delete employee
- Monitor Trimble FSM API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Analytics Operations

Use the Trimble FSM API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 13 endpoints covering core functionality including get access token, create association, create employee.

Example prompt: Call POST `/auth/token` to get access token

### Automated Authentication Management

Automate authentication operations by combining multiple Trimble FSM API endpoints. Agents can create association and then create employee in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call POST /associations to create association, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Trimble FSM 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'get access token', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| POST | `/auth/token` | Get access token |
| POST | `/associations` | Create association |
| POST | `/employees` | Create employee |
| GET | `/employees` | Get employees |
| GET | `/employees/{employeeId}` | Get employee |
| PUT | `/employees/{employeeId}` | Update employee |
| DELETE | `/employees/{employeeId}` | Delete employee |
| GET | `/vehicles` | Get vehicles |

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Trimble FSM API by hand means calling its token endpoint for bearer auth against api.trimblefsm.com and handling error responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Trimble FSM API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Trimble FSM puts the employee id in the URL path (`/employees/{employeeId}`), so a rule can pin your agent to one employee: it can read that employee record and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so updating or deleting an employee is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Trimble FSM 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get an access token' or 'list employees', and Jentic returns the matching Trimble FSM API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Trimble FSM API use?

The Trimble FSM 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 get access token with the Trimble FSM API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Trimble FSM 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 get access token through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Trimble FSM API have?

The Trimble FSM API exposes 13 endpoints covering authentication, associations, employees operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Trimble FSM API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Trimble FSM operations and credentials the agent may use. Because the employee id sits in the URL path (`/employees/{employeeId}`), you can pin the agent to a single employee record and grant only read access with GET `/employees/{employeeId}.` Write operations like PUT or DELETE `/employees/{employeeId}` stay off limits unless you explicitly add them.
