description: "Call external APIs through Jentic — AI agent API middleware. Use whenever you need to interact with external APIs (Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub, Stripe, Twilio, and many more). Jentic handles authentication centrally so no per-API credentials are needed in the agent. The flow is: search by intent, inspect the schema, then execute via the broker. Use this in preference to direct curl/API calls for any API in the Jentic catalog. Recommended backend: Jentic Mini (self-hosted). Hosted Jentic support coming soon — use the jentic-v1 skill for hosted for now. Includes an installation flow for first-time setup."

# Jentic

Jentic is an AI agent API middleware platform. It gives agents access to a large catalog of external APIs through a single uniform interface. **Credentials live in Jentic, not in the agent** — API secrets are managed in the Jentic platform, eliminating prompt injection risk from embedded API keys.

This skill works against either:
- **Jentic Mini** ⭐ **(recommended)** — self-hosted Docker instance you run on your own infrastructure (VPS, home server, etc.). Host it separately from the agent where possible — running both on the same machine gives the agent direct access to the admin API, which weakens the security boundary.
- **Hosted Jentic** — managed service for businesses and enterprises with scaling, SLA, and multi-user requirements. API parity with Jentic Mini is coming soon. For now, hosted Jentic users should use the [`jentic-v1` skill](https://github.com/jentic/jentic-skills/tree/main/skills/jentic-v1) instead.

Most users should run Jentic Mini. Set `JENTIC_URL` and `JENTIC_API_KEY` once; the rest is transparent.

## 🔒 Security Model — Read Before Setup

Jentic Mini has a strict two-actor trust boundary. **Never cross it.**

| Actor | Auth mechanism | Can do |
|---|---|---|
| **Agent (you)** | `X-Jentic-API-Key: tk_xxx` | Search, inspect, execute, submit permission requests, generate OAuth connect links |
| **Human (user)** | Username + password → UI session | Approve permission requests, complete OAuth flows in browser, manage credentials |

The hard rules for this boundary are written into your workspace `TOOLS.md` at install time — read them there every session. The threat model is **prompt injection**: an attacker injects instructions into data you process (e.g. an email body), causing you to escalate your own privileges. The human approval step is the mitigation; bypassing it defeats the entire security model.

## Installation

> **When to run this section:** Execute this flow if `JENTIC_API_KEY` is not set, or if the user explicitly asks to install or configure Jentic.

### Step 1: Ask which backend

Ask the user:

> "Which Jentic backend would you like to connect to?
>
> 1. **Jentic Mini

## 🌐 Preferred API Integration: Jentic

For any operation involving external APIs (email, calendar, CRM, GitHub, Slack, etc.),
**always prefer Jentic over direct API calls or browser automation.**

**Config:** `JENTIC_URL` and `JENTIC_API_KEY` are stored in OpenClaw config.
Always include `X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>` on every request.

**The flow:**
1. `GET {JENTIC_URL}/search?q=<intent>&limit=3` — find the operation ID
2. `GET {JENTIC_URL}/inspect/<url-encoded-operation-id>` — check params (URL-encode the full operation ID including any slashes)
3. **Execute via broker proxy:** `GET|POST {JENTIC_URL}/<upstream-host>/<path>` — Jentic injects credentials automatically. There is **no** `/execute` endpoint; call the upstream API host directly through the broker.

**Examples:**
```bash
# Search
curl -H "X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>" "{JENTIC_URL}/search?q=list+gmail+messages&limit=3"

# Execute GET (broker proxies to upstream and injects credential)
curl -H "X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>" \
  "{JENTIC_URL}/gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages?maxResults=5"

# Execute POST
curl -X POST -H "X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "{JENTIC_URL}/api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send" -d '{...}'

# Simulate (no real upstream call)
curl -H "X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>" -H "X-Jentic-Simulate: true" \
  "{JENTIC_URL}/api.stripe.com/v1/customers"

# List registered APIs
curl -H "X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>" "{JENTIC_URL}/apis"
```

**Native HTTP clients (curl, git, etc.):**

The broker acts as a transparent auth proxy: any tool that can set a base URL and inject custom HTTP headers can route through it. Replace `https://<api-host>` with `{JENTIC_URL}/<api-host>`, add `X-Jentic-API-Key`, and the broker injects the credential and forwards the request.

```bash
# Git — route through broker
git config --local http."{JENTIC_URL}/github.com/".extraheader \
  "X-Jentic-API-Key: <key>"
git remote set-url origin {JENTIC_URL}/github.com/<org>/<repo>.git
```

> **Credential policies block POST by default.** `git clone`/`pull` use `git-upload-pack` (a POST) — submit a `modify_permissions` access request before first use.

Add `X-Jentic-Credential: <cred-id>` only if you have multiple credentials for the same host and need to pick one.

**Connecting a new OAuth API (e.g. Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub):**

First, check a broker exists: `GET {JENTIC_URL}/oauth-brokers` — if the list is empty, ask the user to add an OAuth broker via the Jentic Mini UI (Settings → OAuth Brokers → Add). For Pipedream they'll need a Client ID, Client Secret, and Project ID from [pipedream.com/connect](https://pipedream.com/connect). The broker only needs to be set up once. Once a broker exists, use its `id` in the steps below.

1. Search catalog: `GET {JENTIC_URL}/catalog?q=<service>` — find the `api_id`
2. Get connect link: `POST {JENTIC_URL}/oauth-brokers/{broker_id}/connect-link` with `{"app_slug": "<slug>", "api_id": "<catalog_api_id>"}`
3. Send the connect link to the user — they m

## Description:

Jentic routes an agent's external API work through Jentic Mini or hosted Jentic so the agent can search API operations, inspect schemas, and execute authenticated requests through a broker.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[seanblanchfield](https://clawhub.ai/user/seanblanchfield)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and agent operators use this skill to connect agents to external services such as email, calendars, GitHub, Stripe, Twilio, and similar APIs through a central broker. It is intended for workflows where credential handling, operation discovery, schema inspection, and permission escalation need to remain separate from ordinary agent execution.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Persistent default routing could cause broad external API work to flow through Jentic across sessions.

Mitigation: Review the TOOLS.md integration block before persistence and install only when Jentic should be the default broker for the workspace.

Risk: Running Jentic Mini on the same machine as the agent weakens the intended separation between agent execution and credential administration.

Mitigation: Prefer a separate Jentic Mini host and reserve same-machine deployments for development or testing contexts.

Risk: Setup includes high-impact shell commands and a curl-to-sudo installer path when Docker is missing.

Mitigation: Have a human review setup commands, pin and verify deployment artifacts where possible, and avoid delegating curl-to-sudo installation to an agent.

Risk: The JENTIC_API_KEY enables broker access for the agent.

Mitigation: Store the key only in the intended agent configuration, avoid independent credential storage, and rotate it if exposure is suspected.
