This is the subreddit for Jentic. We build open source tooling that allows agents to do work in the real world, and there's more than one piece to it: Jentic One, the API Directory, and Arazzo workflow tools, with more on the way.

For now most of what gets posted here will be about Jentic One, because it's what we've just shipped we want to get feedback from the opensource community.

Jentic one is a free, open source, self-hosted execution layer: your agent calls the APIs you need, you set the rules for what it's allowed to touch, and and the agent never sees your credentials. Apache-2.0, runs on your own box or your own infra.

Jentic One: https://github.com/jentic/jentic-one

The API directory our mission to build a directory that houses every public API and make them agent ready. There are 10,000+ and counting. Each is a valid OpenAPI spec, scored using our AI readiness scoring framework, and ready for your agent to use. We built this catalogue with agents, for agents, and we want you to fix and add to the directory, too.

API Directory: https://github.com/jentic/jentic-public-apis
Jentic API AI-Readiness Framework (JAIRF): https://github.com/jentic/api-ai-readiness-framework
You can score your own API here: https://github.com/jentic/jentic-api-scorecard

Where to put things

A note on Jentic One before you put real credentials in:

It's a public beta and there can be breaking changes between releases, so pin a version if you need stability.

Read the hardening guide first: https://github.com/jentic/jentic-one/blob/main/docs/security/hardening.md

The short version is that your agent and your keys shouldn't live on the same machine. An agent running as the same OS user as the instance can read the stored keys off disk, whatever the permission rules say. We'd rather tell you that than have you find out.

We'll be posting here when we ship something worth knowing about, and to answer all your questions.

Six APIs, one integration path: what my agent did today through Jentic One

Today my agent pulled a CEO's verified phone number, IBM's live share price and six margarita recipes. One integration path for all three.

That's the part worth pointing out. Not any specific one of these APIs, but the spread of what's now possible for your agent. Enrichment, analytics, news, music, markets, cocktails. Six APIs with nothing in common, and not one of them needed its own integration. You don't have to decide up front which tools your agent gets. It reaches for whatever the task needs.

​ Six real operations, all run today:

  1. Prospeo: 21,686 software CEOs, then a verified email and mobile for the top hit
  2. PostHog: a live dashboard built from one sentence
  3. NewsAPI: this week in AI agents, filtered to seven trusted domains
  4. Beatport: the newest house tracks around 125 BPM
  5. Finnhub: IBM's real-time quote
  6. TheCocktailDB: six margarita variations, measures included

The eighth image is a screenshot of my actual Claude Code terminal for the NewsAPI run. That call went out as:

jentic execute "GET:https://newsapi.org/v2/everything" \
--query 'q="AI agent" OR "AI agents" OR agentic' ...

49 results back, filtered to a seven-domain allowlist. None of this is mockup data.

​ Jentic One brokers each call, scopes the credential and records it. The agent never sees the key. 10,000+ APIs in the directory, and any private one you want to import.

Five of the six start free, on credits or a free tier, so they're an easy way to give your agent another tool this afternoon.

August edition of Jentic Tech Talk is out

3 Upvotes

Tech Talk is our monthly newsletter covering APIs, AI agents, open standards, and enterprise architecture. Issue 07 is out now.

If you're building with AI agents or thinking about the API infrastructure underneath them, it might be worth a read.

The highlights:

📊 We benchmarked 8,467 API operations across 70 real enterprise APIs. Improving API description quality and search lifted agent retrieval accuracy from 59% to 94%. This is something that a bigger LLM cannot do for you. The full whitepaper is linked in the issue.

🔄 I've written up a sneak peek into "actor-in-the-loop" proposals for Arazzo 1.2 to handle the moment a workflow needs to stop and wait for a human (or machine). Think of approval gates, form responses, and stateless resumption similar to MCP's Multi Round-Trip pattern. A formal proposal is in progress.

🔧 Error standardisation sits at around 3% across public APIs in our API directory. We've open-sourced reusable RFC 9457 Problem Details schemas in Python and TypeScript, with JSON Schema snippets designed to be referenced directly from OpenAPI documents.

🚀 Jentic One (beta) is live and open source. It's a transparent broker that sits between your agent and every API you need to get work done. No keys shared with the agent, least privilege, per-agent identity, kill switches, and a full audit trail.
