Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Azure DevOps to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Azure DevOps, 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.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Azure DevOps API.

Provision a pipeline resource that wires a Git repository to an Azure target via a template

List pipelines across a subscription or scope queries to a single resource group

Retrieve a single pipeline to inspect its repository, organisation, and template configuration

For Agents

Provision and manage ARM-modelled Azure DevOps Pipelines that connect source repos to Azure resources via templates. Supports eight endpoints across pipelines, templates, and operations.

Use for: I need to create an Azure DevOps pipeline that deploys to App Service, List all Microsoft.DevOps pipelines in subscription 1111-2222, Retrieve the template parameters of an existing pipeline, Find the available pipeline template definitions

Not supported: Does not run builds, manage work items, manage repos, or expose Azure DevOps Services data-plane operations — use for ARM-modelled Microsoft.DevOps pipeline resources only.

This API is the Microsoft.DevOps ARM resource provider that manages Azure DevOps Pipelines as ARM resources, distinct from the data-plane Azure DevOps Services REST API. It exposes eight endpoints for listing, retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting pipeline resources scoped to subscriptions or resource groups, plus pipeline template definitions and operations discovery. Pipeline resources connect a source repository, an organisation profile, and a target Azure resource through a chosen pipeline template.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Azure DevOps API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Wire a Repo to an Azure App Service via Template

Provision a Microsoft.DevOps pipeline that links a GitHub repository to an Azure App Service through a template such as a Node.js or Python deployment. The Resource Provider API takes a single PUT with the source repo, organisation profile, and template ID plus parameters, and the pipeline appears in both Azure Resource Manager and the linked Azure DevOps organisation. This removes the need to script the equivalent steps in the data-plane Azure DevOps API.

PUT /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/rg-builds/providers/Microsoft.DevOps/pipelines/web-deploy with the chosen template ID, source repo URL, branch=main, and the App Service target resource ID.

Discover Available Pipeline Templates

Before creating a pipeline, list the available templates so the right one can be picked for the target workload. PipelineTemplateDefinitions_List returns each template with its required parameters, languages, and target resource types, which lets a generation agent or wizard build a parameter form deterministically. The same call backs the template chooser surfaced in the Azure portal.

Call GET /providers/Microsoft.DevOps/pipelineTemplateDefinitions and return every template whose parameters list includes 'appServiceName'.

Cross-Subscription Pipeline Inventory

Build a portfolio inventory of pipelines created via the Microsoft.DevOps resource provider across multiple subscriptions. Pipelines_ListBySubscription returns every pipeline along with its repository, organisation, and template ID, which is enough to feed governance and ownership reports. Resource-group scoped variants exist for finer slicing.

List Microsoft.DevOps pipelines in every subscription accessible to the agent and emit one row per pipeline with subscriptionId, resourceGroupName, name, and template ID.

Agent-Driven Pipeline Cleanup

A Jentic agent reconciles ARM-modelled pipelines with a list of active services. Pipelines whose target resource has been deleted or whose source repo is archived are removed via the Pipelines_Delete operation. The agent uses the same eight endpoints in this spec to enumerate, inspect, and delete pipelines without portal access.

List pipelines in subscription 1111-2222, cross-reference each pipeline's target resource ID against the list of live resources, and DELETE every pipeline whose target no longer exists.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Azure AD service principal credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected as a scoped bearer token at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create an Azure DevOps pipeline for App Service' or 'list Microsoft.DevOps pipeline templates', and Jentic returns the matching Pipelines or pipelineTemplateDefinitions operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the ARM reference.

FAQs

Specific to using Azure DevOps API through Jentic.

What authentication does this Azure DevOps resource provider API use?

Azure Active Directory OAuth 2.0 via the azure_auth scheme (user_impersonation scope) on https://management.azure.com/. With Jentic, AAD client credentials live in the MAXsystem vault and the agent receives a runtime bearer token, never the secret.

Is this the same as the Azure DevOps Services REST API?

No. This is the Microsoft.DevOps ARM resource provider for managing pipelines as Azure resources. The Azure DevOps Services REST API at dev.azure.com is a separate data-plane API for boards, repos, builds, and releases inside an Azure DevOps organisation.

What are the rate limits for this API?

It shares Azure Resource Manager subscription throttling, typically 12,000 reads and 1,200 writes per hour per subscription. Honour 429 responses and the Retry-After header; the spec does not declare per-endpoint quotas.

How do I list available pipeline templates through Jentic?

Search Jentic for "list azure devops pipeline templates", load the schema for PipelineTemplateDefinitions_List, then execute. The response includes each template's ID, parameters, and supported target types. Sign up at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

Can I update template parameters on an existing pipeline?

Yes. PATCH /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DevOps/pipelines/{pipelineName} with an updated pipelineTemplateParameters block. Tags can be patched the same way.

Where do builds and releases run?

Pipeline execution still runs inside the linked Azure DevOps organisation. This API only models the pipeline as an ARM resource for provisioning and inventory; build logs, artifacts, and run history are read through the Azure DevOps Services data-plane API.
