Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the VisibleThread 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%2Fvisiblethread.com%2Fvisiblethread-api" | shStep 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%2Fvisiblethread.com%2Fvisiblethread-api" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic 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.
What an agent can do with VisibleThread API.
Upload a dictionary (CSV)
Get your list of dictionaries
Run a search
Query and filter VisibleThread API records by parameters
GET STARTED
For Agents
Programmatically upload a dictionary (csv), get your list of dictionaries. Covers 12 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to upload a dictionary (csv), I want to your list of dictionaries, Search for upload a document, Find all your list of documents
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or developer tools - use for crm only.
Introduction The VisibleThread b API provides services for analyzing/searching documents and web pages. To use the service you need an API key. **Contact us at support@visiblethread.com to request an API key**. The services are split into **Documents** and **Webscans**. Documents Upload documents and dictionaries so you can : - Measure the readability of your document - search a document for all t. The API exposes 12 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor VisibleThread API operational status and events
Patterns agents use VisibleThread API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the VisibleThread API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 12 endpoints covering core functionality including upload a dictionary (csv), get your list of dictionaries, upload a document.
Call POST /dictionaries to upload a dictionary (csv)
Automated Documents Management
Automate documents operations by combining multiple VisibleThread API endpoints. Agents can get your list of dictionaries and then upload a document in a single workflow.
Call GET /dictionaries to get your list of dictionaries, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call VisibleThread 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 apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'upload a dictionary (csv)', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the VisibleThread API by hand means passing its apiKey header and coordinating its dictionary, document, and search calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the VisibleThread API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
VisibleThread puts the document id in the URL path (/documents/{docId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one document and the operations around it. You choose the operations it may call, so it can read a document and its search results without being able to upload new dictionaries unless you add that.
Credential isolation
Your VisibleThread 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 'upload a dictionary' or 'run a document search', and Jentic returns the matching VisibleThread operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using VisibleThread API through Jentic.
What authentication does the VisibleThread API use?
The VisibleThread API 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 upload a dictionary (csv) with the VisibleThread API?
Yes. Use the POST /dictionaries endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the VisibleThread 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 upload a dictionary (csv) through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'upload a dictionary (csv)'. Jentic returns the matching VisibleThread API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the VisibleThread API have?
The VisibleThread API exposes 12 endpoints covering documents, webscans operations.
/searches
Run a search
/searches
Get your list of searches
/searches/{docId}/{dictionaryId}
Gets search results for a particular document/dictionary
