For Agents

Programmatically execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit), execute a groq query via get. Covers 4 operations with apiKey, bearer authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Sanity HTTP API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sanity HTTP 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 Sanity HTTP API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the Sanity HTTP API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 4 endpoints covering core functionality including execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit), execute a groq query via get, apply mutations to documents in a dataset.

Call POST /data/query/{dataset} to execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit)

Automated Data Management

Automate data operations by combining multiple Sanity HTTP API endpoints. Agents can execute a groq query via get and then apply mutations to documents in a dataset in a single workflow.

Call GET /data/query/{dataset} to execute a groq query via get, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Sanity HTTP 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 apiKey, bearer tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit)', 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 Sanity 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 'run a GROQ query' or 'fetch a document by id', and Jentic returns the matching Sanity HTTP API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Sanity HTTP API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Sanity HTTP API use?

The Sanity HTTP API uses apiKey, 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 execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit) with the Sanity HTTP API?

Yes. Use the POST /data/query/{dataset} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Sanity HTTP 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 execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit) through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'execute a groq query via post (for queries exceeding 11kb url limit)'. Jentic returns the matching Sanity HTTP API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Sanity HTTP API have?

The Sanity HTTP API exposes 4 endpoints covering data operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Sanity HTTP API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Sanity operations and credentials the agent may use. Sanity puts the dataset in the URL path, so a rule can pin the agent to a single dataset across both /data/query/{dataset} reads and /data/mutate/{dataset} writes. You also choose exactly which operations it may call, so a mutation stays out of reach unless you add it alongside the read query.
