Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Instance API to your agent

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

★ Cloud Infrastructure Operations

Use the Instance API to perform cloud infrastructure operations programmatically. The API provides 76 endpoints covering core functionality including migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage), checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas, get a volume or snapshot's migration plan.

Call POST /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/block-migration/apply to migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)

Automated Instances Management

Automate instances operations by combining multiple Instance API endpoints. Agents can checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas and then get a volume or snapshot's migration plan in a single workflow.

Call POST /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/block-migration/check-organization-quotas to checkblockmigrationorganizationquotas, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Instance 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 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)', 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 Scaleway API key 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 instance images in a zone' or 'read the zone dashboard', and Jentic returns the matching Instance API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Time to first call

FAQs

Specific to using Instance API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Instance API use?

The Instance API uses an API key passed in the `X-Auth-Token` header. 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 migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage) with the Instance API?

Yes. Use the POST /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/block-migration/apply endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Instance 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 migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage) through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'migrate a volume and/or snapshots to sbs (scaleway block storage)'. Jentic returns the matching Instance API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Instance API have?

The Instance API exposes 76 endpoints covering instances, images, security groups operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Instance API operations and credentials the agent may use. Scaleway puts the zone and image id in the URL path, such as /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/images/{id}, so a rule can pin the agent to one image in one zone. You choose the operations it may call, so a write like updating an image or applying a block migration stays out of reach unless you add it alongside the read operations.
