Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Google Play Integrity API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Google Play Integrity 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.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Google Play Integrity API.

Decode an integrity token returned by the Play Integrity client library into device and app verdicts

Verify that an Android binary matches the version published on Google Play

Confirm that the calling device meets Play integrity requirements such as CTS profile match

For Agents

Decode Play Integrity tokens server-side to verify device, app, and account integrity, and write recall records to detect replay.

Use for: Decode a Play Integrity token from an Android client, Verify that an Android device is running a genuine Google Play binary, Check whether a request comes from a tampered or emulated Android environment, Write a device recall record to prevent token replay

Not supported: Does not authenticate users, sign payments, or scan files for malware - use only to decode Play Integrity tokens and write device recall records.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Google Play Integrity API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Anti-Abuse Gating for Payments

An Android app embeds the Play Integrity client SDK to obtain an integrity token, then forwards it to its backend before high-value actions such as in-app purchases or refund requests. The backend calls decodeIntegrityToken to obtain device, app, and account verdicts, and only authorises the action when verdicts indicate a Play-licensed app on a CTS-compliant device. This blocks tampered builds and emulators from abusing payment flows.

POST /v1/{packageName}:decodeIntegrityToken with body {integrityToken: 'eyJ...'} and reject the request if appRecognitionVerdict is not 'PLAY_RECOGNIZED' or deviceIntegrity does not contain 'MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY'.

Sign-In Trust Score

A consumer app augments its login flow with a Play Integrity check to compute a trust score per session. High-trust devices skip step-up MFA, while low-trust verdicts (custom ROM, unrecognised app) require an additional verification factor. Decoding tokens server-side keeps the verdict tamper-resistant since the client cannot forge the underlying JWT.

POST /v1/{packageName}:decodeIntegrityToken and route the user to step-up MFA when deviceIntegrity is empty or appRecognitionVerdict is 'UNRECOGNIZED_VERSION'.

Reinstall Replay Detection

Anti-abuse teams want to detect users who uninstall and reinstall to dodge bans or grant-once promotions. The deviceRecall:write endpoint persists a recall record keyed by the device's recall verdict, so subsequent decodeIntegrityToken calls can return whether the device has been seen before across reinstalls. This closes a common loophole in promo-abuse and free-trial fraud.

POST /v1/{packageName}/deviceRecall:write to register the recall record after a successful first-time signup, then check the recall verdict on subsequent decodes to detect repeat installs.

AI Agent Integrity Verification via Jentic

Trust-and-safety agents that need to score incoming Android requests can call the Integrity API through Jentic without managing OAuth scopes or token formats by hand. Jentic stores the project's service account in its vault and exposes the decodeIntegrityToken operation as a single search-load-execute call, turning a multi-day backend integration into a same-day automation.

Search Jentic for 'decode a Play Integrity token', load the decodeIntegrityToken schema, and execute it with the app's package name and the integrity token from the client.

Key Endpoints

2 endpoints — the google play integrity api helps android apps confirm that they are interacting with a genuine binary on a genuine google-play-licensed device, replacing the deprecated safetynet attestation.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Play Integrity service-account 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 'decode a Play Integrity token' or 'write a device recall record', and Jentic returns the matching Integrity operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Google Play Integrity API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Google Play Integrity API use?

The decode endpoints use OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/playintegrity scope and require a service account linked to the Play Console project. Through Jentic the service account credential is held encrypted in your Jentic One instance and a scoped access token is injected at call time.

Can I detect emulators with the Play Integrity API?

Yes. POST /v1/{packageName}:decodeIntegrityToken returns deviceIntegrity verdicts including MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY, MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY, and MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY. Emulators and rooted devices typically return an empty or basic-only set, which the backend can use to block or step-up high-risk actions.

What are the rate limits for this API?

The Play Integrity API has a default project-level quota measured in queries per day, with separate quotas for standard requests and classic requests. Quota can be raised via Google Cloud Console for high-traffic apps, and the client SDK supports prefetching to amortise the cost.

How do I decode an integrity token through Jentic?

Run jentic search 'decode a Play Integrity token', load the schema for POST /v1/{packageName}:decodeIntegrityToken, and execute it with the app's package name and the integrity token returned by the client SDK. Jentic handles OAuth and returns the structured verdicts.

Is the Google Play Integrity API free?

Standard Play Integrity calls are free up to a generous default quota. Classic requests and very high-volume usage may require a quota increase or the use of standard requests with prefetching to stay within free limits.

Can I detect when a user reinstalls the app?

Yes. POST /v1/{packageName}/deviceRecall:write writes a recall record after first install, and subsequent decodeIntegrityToken responses include a recall verdict that flags devices seen before across uninstall and reinstall. This is useful for detecting free-trial abuse and ban evasion.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Google Play Integrity API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. The Play Integrity API carries the package name in the URL path, so you can pin the agent to a single app and let it only decode integrity tokens (POST /v1/{packageName}:decodeIntegrityToken) while withholding the write to device recall records (POST /v1/{packageName}/deviceRecall:write). Your stored service-account credential is injected at call time and never reaches the agent's prompt or logs, so the agent can call only the operations you explicitly allow.
