Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the VA Forms to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the VA Forms, 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%2Fva.gov%2Fva-forms" | 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%2Fva.gov%2Fva-forms" | 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 VA Forms 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 VA Forms endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call VA Forms 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 'returns all va forms and their last revision date', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

2 endpoints — use the va forms api to search for va forms, get the form's pdf link and metadata, and check for new versions.

Why Jentic?

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

Setup

Wiring the VA Forms API by hand means passing the apikey header and choosing between the sandbox and production va.gov hosts to read form data. Through Jentic you install once, import VA Forms from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

VA Forms puts the form name in the URL path (/forms/{form_name}) and is read-only, so a rule can pin your agent to reading one form or the forms list. You choose the operations it may call, and only those reads run.

Credential isolation

Your VA-issued 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.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list all VA forms and their last revision date', and Jentic returns the matching VA Forms operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using VA Forms API through Jentic.

What authentication does the VA Forms use?

The VA Forms uses an API key passed in the `apikey` 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 returns all va forms and their last revision date with the VA Forms?

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

What are the rate limits for the VA Forms?

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 returns all va forms and their last revision date through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'returns all va forms and their last revision date'. Jentic returns the matching VA Forms operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the VA Forms have?

The VA Forms exposes 2 endpoints covering forms operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which VA Forms operations and credentials the agent may use. The VA Forms API is read-only and puts the form name in the URL path, so you can pin the agent to just listing forms with GET /forms or reading a single form with GET /forms/{form_name}. Only the operations you allow will run, and your VA-issued API key is injected at execution time rather than exposed to the agent.
