Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Apigee Registry API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Apigee Registry API, 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.

View OpenAPI Document

For Agents

Catalog, version, and govern OpenAPI and other machine-readable specs in a Google Cloud-managed registry. Useful for agents that maintain an enterprise API inventory or governance pipeline.

Use for: Register a new API in the registry, Upload a new OpenAPI spec revision under an existing API version, Roll back a spec to the previous revision, Attach a lint report artifact to a spec

Not supported: Does not handle runtime traffic, proxy execution, or developer portal hosting - use for cataloging, versioning, and governing API specs and deployments only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Apigee Registry API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Enterprise API inventory and governance

Platform teams use the registry as the source of truth for every API the company exposes, internal or external. APIs, versions, specs, and deployments are first-class resources with revisions, so governance teams can answer 'what is the contract for v3?' or 'who owns this API?' from a stable, queryable surface.

Register API 'orders', create version 'v1', upload openapi.yaml as a spec revision, and tag it with artifact 'owner=payments-team'.

Spec revision and rollback

Specs evolve. The registry's revisions and rollback endpoints let teams keep a clean linear history, mark known-good revisions, and revert to a previous revision without losing the breaking-change attempt for diffing later.

Roll back the current spec under projects/p/locations/global/apis/orders/versions/v1/specs/openapi to its previous revision and confirm via the returned resource.

Artifact-driven governance

Lint scores, security scans, and ownership metadata attach as artifacts to APIs, versions, or specs. CI pipelines write artifacts on every spec push so dashboards and gating policies can read a single, structured place rather than scraping spreadsheets.

Attach an artifact named 'lint-report' with mimeType application/json containing the latest spectral output to spec 'openapi' under version v1 of API orders.

AI agent governance assistant via Jentic

An AI agent reviews PRs that update OpenAPI specs, runs lint and breaking-change checks, and writes the results back to the registry as artifacts through Jentic. The agent calls the registry without holding the project's service account credentials directly.

After a PR merges, upload the new spec revision, attach a generated lint-report artifact, and post a summary into the PR thread.

Key Endpoints

26 endpoints — the apigee registry api stores, versions, and indexes api descriptions and machine-readable specs in a google cloud project.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Apigee Registry OAuth 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.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'register an API spec' or 'roll back an API version', and Jentic returns the matching registry operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the registry reference.

FAQs

Specific to using Apigee Registry API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Apigee Registry API use?

OAuth 2.0 with Google Cloud credentials. Through Jentic the service account JSON is vaulted and exchanged for scoped access tokens at runtime.

Can I roll back a spec to a previous revision?

Yes. Specs are revisioned, and the rollback endpoint at /v1/{+name}:rollback restores a prior revision while preserving the failed revision for diffing. Use listRevisions to enumerate available revisions before rolling back.

What are the rate limits for the Apigee Registry API?

Standard Google Cloud per-project per-minute quotas apply. The registry is a control-plane service and is rarely the bottleneck; large-scale spec uploads should still batch through API operations rather than parallelising thousands of concurrent calls.

How do I store an OpenAPI spec through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'upload API spec to apigee registry', load the schema for the apis.versions.specs.create operation, and execute it with the API name, version name, and base64-encoded spec contents. Jentic returns the new spec revision name.

Is the Apigee Registry API free?

Apigee Registry is part of the Apigee product family. Pricing is documented under Apigee; the registry is generally available without a separate per-call fee, but storage and operations roll up under your Apigee billing.

Do I need Apigee runtime to use the registry?

No. The registry can be used independently to track specs and deployments even if your runtime is API Gateway, AWS, or anything else. ApiDeployment records simply describe where a version is hosted.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Apigee Registry API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which registry operations and which OAuth credential your agent may use. The Apigee Registry API puts the resource name in the URL path (for example /v1/{name}:getContents and /v1/{name}:listRevisions), so you can pin an agent to a single registry resource and let it only read contents and list revisions there. Destructive actions like :rollback or :deleteRevision stay off unless you explicitly grant them.
