Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Anvil API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Anvil 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%2Fuseanvil.com%2Fuseanvil" | 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%2Fuseanvil.com%2Fuseanvil" | 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 Anvil 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 Anvil API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Anvil 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 basic tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'fill pdf template', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

2 endpoints — anvil provides apis for pdf generation, pdf filling, and e-signature collection.

Why Jentic?

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

Setup

Wiring the Anvil API by hand means setting up its basic auth, base64-encoding the credential on every request, and posting fill and generate-PDF payloads yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Anvil from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Anvil puts the PDF template id in the URL path (/fill/{pdfTemplateID}.pdf), so a rule can pin your agent to one template: it can fill that template and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so ad-hoc PDF generation is not included unless you add it.

Credential isolation

Your Anvil 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 'fill a PDF template' or 'generate a PDF', and Jentic returns the matching Anvil operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Anvil API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Anvil API use?

The Anvil API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 fill pdf template with the Anvil API?

Yes. Use the POST /fill/{pdfTemplateID}.pdf endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Anvil 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 fill pdf template through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Anvil API have?

The Anvil API exposes 2 endpoints covering fill, generate pdf operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Anvil API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Anvil operations the agent may call and which credential it uses, so you can allow POST /fill/{pdfTemplateID}.pdf while withholding POST /generate-pdf. Since Anvil carries the template id in the path (/fill/{pdfTemplateID}.pdf), a rule can pin the agent to a single template, letting it fill that one document and nothing else. The stored Anvil credential is injected only for the operations you have approved, so any call outside that scope simply is not available to the agent.
