Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

D2L Brightspace API oauth2 credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create a new user') and Jentic returns the matching D2L Brightspace API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct D2L Brightspace API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
