## Capabilities

- Get account info
- List members
- Update member

## Use cases

### HR and Recruiting Operations

Use the Workable API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 31 endpoints covering core functionality including get account info, list members, update member.

Example prompt: Call GET /accounts to get account info

### Automated Account Management

Automate account operations by combining multiple Workable API endpoints. Agents can list members and then update member in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /members to list members, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Workable 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 bearer tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'get account info', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Workable API by hand means learning its bearer auth, building your company subdomain into the workable.com host, and paging through members, departments, and stages yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Workable API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Workable puts the member id in the URL path (/members/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading members and departments. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like removing a member are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your Workable token 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 'get account info' or 'list departments', and Jentic returns the matching Workable operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Workable API use?

The Workable API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization 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 get account info with the Workable API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Workable 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 get account info through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Workable API have?

The Workable API exposes 31 endpoints covering account, candidates, hr operations.

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

Yes. Jentic One runs self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Workable operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Workable puts the member id in the URL path (/members/{id}), you can pin the agent to read-only calls like GET /members and GET /departments while excluding destructive operations such as DELETE /members/{id} unless you explicitly add them. The agent can only invoke the operations you have allowed, and the stored Workable token is injected at execution time rather than exposed to the agent.
