Attack Surface Management API. The API exposes 74 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
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 instanceJentic 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 Attack Surface Management API.
Download export
Export assets in XLSX format
Move or copy specific assets
Query and filter Attack Surface Management records by parameters
Monitor Attack Surface Management operational status and events
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?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Attack Surface Management apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'download export') and Jentic returns the matching Attack Surface Management operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Attack Surface Management integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

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 the MAXsystem vault 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 at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, 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.
