Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer, 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic 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.

For Agents

Associate repositories with Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer, trigger code reviews, list machine-generated recommendations, and capture feedback. Backed by 14 endpoints covering repository associations, code reviews, and recommendation feedback.

Use for: I need to associate a GitHub repository with CodeGuru Reviewer, Trigger a CodeGuru code review on a specific branch, List all open recommendations for the latest code review, Submit thumbs-up feedback on a CodeGuru recommendation

Not supported: Does not handle runtime profiling (use CodeGuru Profiler), source-code hosting, or pipeline orchestration - use for repository associations and automated code review recommendations only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Automated Pre-Merge Code Review

When a pull request is opened, CodeGuru Reviewer runs an automated review that surfaces concurrency issues, AWS best-practice violations, resource leaks, and security smells. Engineering teams call CreateCodeReview with a RepositoryAnalysis or PullRequest type, then poll DescribeCodeReview until State is Completed before fetching results with ListRecommendations. This adds an automated reviewer alongside human reviewers without operating any analysis infrastructure.

Trigger a code review of type RepositoryAnalysis on association arn:aws:codeguru-reviewer:..:assoc/abc and the main branch, then list the resulting recommendations

Recommendation Feedback Loop

Developers signal whether each CodeGuru recommendation was useful through PutRecommendationFeedback. The feedback (Reactions: ThumbsUp or ThumbsDown) tunes future reviews and is visible across the team. ListRecommendationFeedback exposes aggregate sentiment per recommendation, so an agent can detect patterns where the model consistently produces low-quality output and surface them for review.

Submit ThumbsUp feedback on recommendation ID rec-abc inside code review arn:aws:codeguru-reviewer:..:review/xyz

Repository Onboarding for Continuous Review

Platform teams onboarding a new repository call AssociateRepository with the source provider details (CodeCommit name, or GitHub/Bitbucket connection ARN). DescribeRepositoryAssociation polls until State is Associated, after which every PR opened on the repository can have a CodeGuru review triggered automatically. ListRepositoryAssociations gives a fleet-wide view of which repos are covered.

Associate a CodeCommit repository named payments-service with CodeGuru Reviewer and wait for the association State to reach Associated

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

Through Jentic, an AI agent uses CodeGuru Reviewer by searching for an intent like 'run a CodeGuru code review', loading the CreateCodeReview schema, and executing it with a repository association ARN and branch name. Jentic signs the SigV4 request server-side using IAM credentials in your Jentic One instance.

Search Jentic for 'run a CodeGuru code review', load the CreateCodeReview schema, and execute it for the supplied association ARN and a feature branch

Key Endpoints

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your AWS access key and secret are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time when the request is signed. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'run a CodeGuru code review' or 'list recommendations from a code review', and Jentic returns the matching CodeGuru Reviewer operation with its input schema, so the agent calls CreateCodeReview or ListRecommendations directly.

FAQs

Specific to using Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer?

AWS does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer API use?

CodeGuru Reviewer uses AWS Signature Version 4 (HMAC) signed requests with an IAM access key and secret. Through Jentic, those credentials live encrypted in your Jentic One instance and the SigV4 signature is computed server-side, so the agent context never holds the raw secret.

Can I trigger a code review on a specific pull request through the API?

Yes. CreateCodeReview accepts a Type with a RepositoryAnalysis sub-object that takes a RepositoryHead containing a BranchName. Once created, poll DescribeCodeReview until State equals Completed, then call ListRecommendations on the CodeReviewArn to fetch results.

How do I submit feedback on a CodeGuru recommendation?

Call PutRecommendationFeedback with the CodeReviewArn, RecommendationId, and a Reactions array containing ThumbsUp or ThumbsDown. ListRecommendationFeedback returns aggregate feedback so an agent can review sentiment across recommendations.

What are the rate limits for the Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer API?

AWS enforces per-account, per-region throttling on CodeGuru Reviewer; throttled requests return ThrottlingException. Code review creation is also rate-limited per repository. Use exponential backoff via the AWS SDKs that Jentic wraps.

How do I run a CodeGuru review through Jentic with an AI agent?

Run pip install jentic, then have the agent search for 'run a CodeGuru code review', load the CreateCodeReview schema, and execute it with the AssociationArn and branch. Poll DescribeCodeReview for completion, then ListRecommendations to fetch findings the agent can post back as PR comments.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the CodeGuru Reviewer API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which CodeGuru Reviewer operations and AWS credentials the agent may use. Since the association and review ARNs are minted by AWS at creation time rather than chosen by you, the honest control is by operation: you allow only the calls the agent needs, such as CreateCodeReview and ListRecommendations, so a destructive operation like DisassociateRepository is not available unless you add it. The AWS access key and secret are injected at signing time and never enter the agent's prompt or context.
