Today, we’re launching a foundational upgrade to the Jentic platform: Managed Authenticated Execution.
Until now, calling a real API from an AI agent meant breaking one of security’s cardinal rules. Developers were forced to scatter credentials across codebases, prompts, config files, Git repos, and shared docs. Credential leaks were inevitable. Revocation and control were nearly impossible.
This update changes that. For the first time, you can now:
- Run any workflow or API operation through Jentic’s hosted infrastructure
- Securely manage API credentials from a central control plane
- Set fine-grained permissions for agents and tools
- Track and govern usage across your entire agent fleet
This addresses what we see as one of the biggest blind spots in the current AI landscape. Most agents today store credentials in prompts or local files. That approach is fragile and risky. It also makes compliance, policy enforcement, and enterprise security extremely difficult.
A Timely Reminder: AI Can Leak What You Don’t Expect
Two weeks ago, some public ChatGPT conversations began appearing in Google search results. Even though users had to opt in to share those links, the incident revealed how easily sensitive information can slip into public view when safeguards are weak or unclear. And then last week a vulnerability was detected in how Microsoft was storing sensitive information around API keys and credentials.
The ChatGPT was a consumer-facing product. Now imagine the same kind of leak happening inside a company - enter the Microsoft incident (since fixed). Instead of a personal question or a résumé, it could be API keys, tokens, or privileged access credentials.
These risks are not theoretical. They are a consequence of how most agents are built today. Jentic's Managed Execution model eliminates those risks at the infrastructure level.
From SDKs to Secure Cloud Execution
When we first launched Jentic, agents would discover APIs and run them directly inside their own runtime using our SDK. This required copying credentials into your agent code and running the agent in a full development environment. It was powerful, but not scalable. And it definitely was not secure.
Now, with Managed Execution, your agent (or no-code tool or platform) does not need to hold any secrets. You make one call over the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) or REST, and Jentic handles everything. That includes credential access, API invocation, and workflow orchestration. All of it is executed securely on our infrastructure.
Credential Vault and Access Controls
The Jentic web app now includes a secure credential vault. You can upload API keys or OAuth credentials, assign them to specific agents, and enforce access policies. Credentials are encrypted, stored securely, and only decrypted at the moment of execution.
This means you can:
- Rotate or revoke credentials without touching the agent
- Prevent agents from accessing unauthorized services
- Monitor who used what, when, and for what purpose
- Stay compliant with internal policy or external regulation
Governance at Scale
You define which APIs and workflows each agent or agent group can access. This level of control is essential for real-world use, especially when agents are created or managed by different teams across a business. We are building toward fine-grained authorization, scoped access policies, and full integration with external identity providers.
Web UI for Teams and No-Code Builders
We’ve also introduced a new web app. It is your control center for managing agents, APIs, credentials, and permissions without writing code.
You can now:
- Add and label your agents
- Upload and manage credentials
- Define access policies per agent
- Explore over 1,500 APIs and 2,000 prebuilt workflows
This is ideal for teams working with off-the-shelf agents like Claude or MindStudio, or with no-code tools like RelevanceAI. Developers can still use the Jentic SDK, but they no longer have to.
Try It Now
Managed execution and credential governance are live today.
You can:
- Explore the new web app at jentic.com
- Add credentials and assign access to your agents
- Use MCP or REST to call any API securely
- Invite your team and start managing your agent fleet
- Join the Discord and share feedback
This launch is the first in a series of upgrades that will help businesses run AI agents with real-world security, scale, and control. Agents are about to become a lot more useful, and a lot more manageable.
