Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Xero Assets API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Xero Assets 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 | 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.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Xero Assets API for, with concrete tasks.

Use the Xero Assets API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 6 endpoints covering core functionality including adds a fixed asset, searches fixed asset, retrieves fixed asset by id.
Call POST /Assets to adds a fixed asset
Automated Assettypes Management
Automate assettypes operations by combining multiple Xero Assets API endpoints. Agents can searches fixed asset and then retrieves fixed asset by id in a single workflow.
Call GET /Assets to searches fixed asset, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Xero Assets API 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 oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'adds a fixed asset', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Xero Assets API oauth2 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., 'adds a fixed asset') and Jentic returns the matching Xero Assets API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Xero Assets API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
