For Agents
Programmatically list users, list compliance frameworks. Covers 10 operations with bearer authentication.
Use for: I need to users, I want to compliance frameworks, Search for controls, Find all control
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for security only.
Secureframe API for compliance automation, risk management, and security posture monitoring. Manage compliance frameworks, audits, and security controls. The API exposes 10 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Secureframe API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Secureframe 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsecureframe.com%2Fsecureframe" | sh2
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%2Fsecureframe.com%2Fsecureframe" | 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 Secureframe API.
List Users
Get Control
Create Vendor
Query and filter Secureframe API records by parameters
Monitor Secureframe API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Secureframe API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Security Operations
Use the Secureframe API to perform security operations programmatically. The API provides 10 endpoints covering core functionality including list users, list compliance frameworks, list controls.
Call GET /users to list users
Automated Audits Management
Automate audits operations by combining multiple Secureframe API endpoints. Agents can list compliance frameworks and then list controls in a single workflow.
Call GET /compliance-frameworks to list compliance frameworks, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Secureframe 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 bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'list users', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Secureframe API by hand means obtaining its bearer token, threading it onto every call, and building each users, controls, and evidence request yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Secureframe from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Secureframe API mixes read lists with creates like adding a vendor or evidence, and its writes take their target in the request body, so scope by operation: limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as listing controls or reading users, and leave vendor or evidence creation out unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Secureframe token 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 'list compliance controls' or 'look up a control', and Jentic returns the matching Secureframe operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Secureframe API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Secureframe API use?
The Secureframe API uses a Bearer token 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 list users with the Secureframe API?
Yes. Use the GET /users endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Secureframe API?
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 list users through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'list users'. Jentic returns the matching Secureframe API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Secureframe API have?
The Secureframe API exposes 10 endpoints covering audits, compliance, controls operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Secureframe API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which Secureframe operations your agent may call, so you can allow read-only calls like listing controls (GET /controls) and reading users (GET /users) while leaving out the write operations that create vendors (POST /vendors) or upload evidence (POST /evidence). Since those writes take their target in the request body, keeping them off the allowed list stops the agent from adding vendors or evidence unless you explicitly grant it. Your Secureframe bearer token is stored encrypted by your own instance and injected only for the operations you permit.
