Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Zoho Inventory API to your agent

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

★ E-Commerce Operations

Use the Zoho Inventory API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 40 endpoints covering core functionality including create item, list items, get item.

Call POST /items to create item

Automated Bills Management

Automate bills operations by combining multiple Zoho Inventory API endpoints. Agents can list items and then get item in a single workflow.

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

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Zoho Inventory 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 oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'create item', 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 Zoho Inventory 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 'create an item' or 'list contacts', and Jentic returns the matching Zoho Inventory operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Zoho Inventory API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Zoho Inventory API use?

The Zoho Inventory API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 item with the Zoho Inventory API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Zoho Inventory 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 item through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Zoho Inventory API have?

The Zoho Inventory API exposes 40 endpoints covering bills, contacts, credit notes operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Zoho Inventory operations and which stored OAuth credential the agent may use. Since the API puts the record id in the URL path, such as /items/{id} and /contacts/{id}, you can pin the agent to a single item or contact so it reads and updates that record and nothing else. Destructive calls like item or contact deletion are excluded unless you explicitly grant them.
