Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Apps Script API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Apps Script 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.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Apps Script API.

Create a new Apps Script project bound to a parent Drive file or standalone

For Agents

Manage Google Apps Script projects — create projects, update script content, manage versions and deployments, and inspect script processes and metrics from external systems.

Use for: Create a new Apps Script project for a custom Sheets sidebar, Update the source files of a script project from a CI pipeline, Create a new version of a script ahead of a deployment, Deploy an Apps Script web app at a specific version

Not supported: Does not execute arbitrary script functions on demand, edit Drive files outside script projects, or run code outside the Apps Script runtime — use for managing Apps Script project content, versions, and deployments only.

The Google Apps Script API manages and executes Google Apps Script projects programmatically, including project creation, content updates, deployments, versions, and execution metrics. It exposes endpoints for retrieving and updating script content, listing and creating versions and deployments, and enumerating script processes and metrics so operators can build CI/CD pipelines around Apps Script. The API enables external systems to deploy and monitor Apps Script automations that extend Google Workspace and Google Sheets.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Apps Script API for, with concrete tasks.

★ CI/CD for Apps Script projects

Engineering teams that maintain Apps Script automations push source updates to GitHub. A CI agent uses the Apps Script API to update the project content, create a new version, and create a new deployment of that version, replacing manual editing in the in-browser script editor. The API lets the team apply code review and rollback discipline to Apps Script.

PUT /v1/projects/{scriptId}/content with the updated files, POST /v1/projects/{scriptId}/versions to create a new version, then POST /v1/projects/{scriptId}/deployments referencing that version.

Apps Script execution monitoring

An operations agent polls /v1/processes:listScriptProcesses for failed Apps Script executions across the team's automations and routes failures to an incident tracker. Pairing this with the metrics endpoint produces a dashboard of failure rates over time without each team standing up its own monitoring.

GET /v1/processes:listScriptProcesses with statuses=FAILED and post each failure to a ticketing webhook.

Backup and restore of script content

A backup agent reads the content of every Apps Script project in the team's Drive corpus on a schedule and stores the JSON payload in a versioned bucket. If a project is corrupted, the agent restores it by issuing a content update with the most recent backup, returning the project to a known good state.

GET /v1/projects/{scriptId}/content for each script, store the response, and PUT /v1/projects/{scriptId}/content with the latest backup on demand.

Agent-driven Apps Script ops through Jentic

An AI agent built on Jentic exposes Apps Script administration as tools for Workspace operators: create a script, deploy a version, list failures. It searches Jentic for the right operation by intent and runs it, with OAuth tokens kept in the Jentic vault.

Search Jentic for 'create apps script deployment', load the deployment schema, execute against the target scriptId and version.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Apps Script OAuth 2.0 credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive a scoped, short-lived access token at execution time so raw refresh tokens never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'create apps script deployment' or 'list apps script processes', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its full schema, so the agent calls the correct endpoint without browsing the v1 docs.

Time to first call

Direct integration takes 2-3 days to wire OAuth, content updates, and deployment lifecycle. Through Jentic the same flow is under 1 hour: search, load, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Apps Script API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Apps Script API use?

It uses Google OAuth 2.0 with scopes such as scripts.projects, scripts.deployments, and scripts.processes, declared as Oauth2 and Oauth2c. Through Jentic, OAuth tokens are stored encrypted in the vault and exchanged for short-lived access tokens at execution time.

Can I create deployments through the Apps Script API?

Yes. POST /v1/projects/{scriptId}/deployments creates a deployment of a specific version with a deploymentConfig that specifies whether it is a web app, add-on, or executable. The endpoint returns the new deployment ID, which can then be referenced in update or delete calls.

What are the rate limits for the Apps Script API?

Google applies per-project quotas to Apps Script API calls; the default is 90 queries per minute per user for read endpoints, with mutating create and update endpoints sharing a separate per-day quota that scales with usage. Quotas can be raised through the Cloud Console for sustained CI/CD usage.

How do I deploy an Apps Script version through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create apps script deployment', load the schema for POST /v1/projects/{scriptId}/deployments, and execute with the version number and deploymentConfig payload. Jentic returns the new deployment ID for downstream verification.

Is the Apps Script API free?

The API is free to call within Google Cloud quotas; underlying Apps Script execution is metered by the standard Apps Script execution-time quotas tied to the calling user's account, not by the API itself. There is no per-API-call charge.

How do I monitor failed Apps Script executions?

Call GET /v1/processes:listScriptProcesses with statuses=FAILED to enumerate recent failed executions for the calling user's projects, and pair it with GET /v1/projects/{scriptId}/metrics to retrieve aggregate failure counts. The metrics endpoint accepts a metricsGranularity parameter for daily or hourly bucketing.
