For Agents

Programmatically create cluster, list clusters. Covers 354 operations with basic, bearer authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Rancher Manager API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Rancher Manager 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Rancher Manager API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Cloud Infrastructure Operations

Use the Rancher Manager API to perform cloud infrastructure operations programmatically. The API provides 354 endpoints covering core functionality including create cluster, list clusters, get cluster.

Call POST /clusters to create cluster

Automated Clusters Management

Automate clusters operations by combining multiple Rancher Manager API endpoints. Agents can list clusters and then get cluster in a single workflow.

Call GET /clusters to list clusters, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Rancher Manager API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle basic, bearer tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'create cluster', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Rancher token 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 'list managed clusters' or 'create a cluster', and Jentic returns the matching Rancher operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Rancher Manager API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Rancher Manager API use?

The Rancher Manager API uses basic, bearer authentication. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I create cluster with the Rancher Manager API?

Yes. Use the POST /clusters endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Rancher Manager API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

How do I create cluster through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create cluster'. Jentic returns the matching Rancher Manager API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Rancher Manager API have?

The Rancher Manager API exposes 354 endpoints covering clusters, nodes, projects operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Rancher Manager API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which Rancher Manager operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Rancher puts the cluster id in the URL path (/clusters/{id}), a rule can pin the agent to a single cluster and let it only read and update that one. You also pick the operations it may call, so destructive actions like deleting a cluster or generating a kubeconfig are excluded unless you add them.
