### E-Commerce Operations

Example prompt: Call POST /v3/feeds to bulk item inventory update

### Automated Feeds Management

Automate feeds operations by combining multiple Inventory Management endpoints. Agents can wfs inventory and then multiple item inventory for all ship nodes in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /v3/fulfillment/inventory to wfs inventory, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Inventory Management 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 none tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'bulk item inventory update', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring Walmart Inventory Management by hand means choosing between the production marketplace.walmartapis.com host and the sandbox host and authenticating each request yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Inventory Management from the API Directory, store your Walmart credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Inventory Management puts the item SKU in the URL path (/v3/inventories/{sku}), so a rule can pin your agent to one SKU. You choose the operations it may call, so you can allow reading inventory for that SKU while a write like updating its inventory is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Walmart 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 'bulk update item inventory' or 'get inventory for a SKU', and Jentic returns the matching Inventory Management operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Inventory Management use?

The Inventory Management uses no authentication. 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 bulk item inventory update with the Inventory Management?

Yes. Use the POST /v3/feeds endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Inventory Management?

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 bulk item inventory update through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'bulk item inventory update'. Jentic returns the matching Inventory Management operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Inventory Management have?

The Inventory Management exposes 7 endpoints covering feeds, fulfillment, inventories operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Inventory Management API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which of the seven Inventory Management operations your agent may call and which Walmart credential it uses. Since the SKU sits in the URL path (/v3/inventories/{sku}), you can pin the agent to a single SKU and allow only reads like GET /v3/inventories/{sku} while withholding writes such as PUT /v3/inventories/{sku} unless you add them.
