Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Xero Files API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Xero Files 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%2Fxero.com%2Fxero-files-api" | 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%2Fxero.com%2Fxero-files-api" | 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 Xero Files API.
Uploads a File to the inbox
Retrieves files
Update a file
Deletes a specific file
Monitor Xero Files API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Xero Files API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Storage and Databases Operations
Use the Xero Files API to perform storage operations programmatically. The API provides 18 endpoints covering core functionality including uploads a file to the inbox, retrieves files, retrieves a file by a unique file id.
Call POST /Files to uploads a file to the inbox
Automated Files Management
Automate files operations by combining multiple Xero Files API endpoints. Agents can retrieves files and then retrieves a file by a unique file id in a single workflow.
Call GET /Files to retrieves files, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Xero Files 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 'uploads a file to the inbox', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Xero Files API by hand means implementing its OAuth2 flow, sending the tenant header, and managing files, folders, and associations yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Xero Files API from the API Directory, store the OAuth2 credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Xero Files API puts the file id in the URL path (/Files/{FileId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one file: it can read that file and its content. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a file are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Xero Files API OAuth2 credential 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 'upload a file to the inbox' or 'get a file's content', and Jentic returns the matching Xero Files API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Xero Files API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Xero Files API use?
The Xero Files API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 uploads a file to the inbox with the Xero Files API?
Yes. Use the POST /Files endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Xero Files 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 uploads a file to the inbox through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'uploads a file to the inbox'. Jentic returns the matching Xero Files API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Xero Files API have?
The Xero Files API exposes 18 endpoints covering files operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Xero Files API?
Yes. Because you self-host Jentic One, your own rules decide which Xero Files API operations and credentials the agent may use. The file ID sits in the URL path (/Files/{FileId}), so you can pin the agent to a single file and let it only read that file and its content while withholding destructive calls like DELETE /Files/{FileId}. Nothing beyond the operations you grant, such as GET /Files or POST /Files, is callable.
