Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Attack Surface Management to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Attack Surface Management, 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Ftenable.com%2Fattack-surface-management" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Ftenable.com%2Fattack-surface-management" | 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 Attack Surface Management API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the Attack Surface Management to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 74 endpoints covering core functionality including download export, export assets in xlsx format, export assets in csv format.

Call POST /export/download to download export

Automated Tags Management

Automate tags operations by combining multiple Attack Surface Management endpoints. Agents can export assets in xlsx format and then export assets in csv format in a single workflow.

Call POST /assets/export/xlsx to export assets in xlsx format, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Attack Surface Management 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 'download export', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring Tenable Attack Surface Management by hand means learning its API-key header auth against the asm.cloud.tenable.com host and handling export and bulk-move calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Attack Surface Management from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Attack Surface Management targets travel in request bodies and query filters rather than a resource id in the URL path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as exporting assets or downloading a report. You choose the operations it may call, so bulk-move operations are not included unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your Attack Surface Management 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 'export assets to CSV' or 'download a source report', and Jentic returns the matching Attack Surface Management operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Attack Surface Management API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Attack Surface Management use?

The Attack Surface Management uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` 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 download export with the Attack Surface Management?

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

What are the rate limits for the Attack Surface Management?

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 download export through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'download export'. Jentic returns the matching Attack Surface Management operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Attack Surface Management have?

The Attack Surface Management exposes 74 endpoints covering tags, sources, assets operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Attack Surface Management API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which Attack Surface Management operations your agent may call and which API key it uses, so you can allow read-only work like exporting assets to CSV, XLSX, or JSON and downloading source reports while excluding everything else. Since this API carries its targets in request bodies and query filters rather than in the URL path, the boundary is the set of operations you approve, and destructive bulk-move actions such as POST /asset/bulkmove and POST /asset/bulkmovefilter stay off unless you add them. Your API key is injected at execution time under your own rules and never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
