Dublin, 25 March 2026 — Jentic has launched Jentic Mini, a free, open-source, self-hosted tool that gives developers building with OpenClaw a way to connect general-purpose AI agents to live systems while maintaining control over credentials, permissions and data access.
Available now on GitHub and the Jentic website, Jentic Mini provides a governance layer around agent access to more than 10,000 APIs and workflows in Jentic's AI-curated catalogue. The tool includes fine-grained permissions and a single killswitch that instantly revokes all agent data access.
The product addresses a specific operational gap. General-purpose AI agents such as OpenClaw are becoming capable enough for real-world deployment, but letting them interact with production systems raises obvious questions about compromised credentials, excessive permissions and unintended actions. Jentic Mini treats security and permissions as a deployment requirement rather than an afterthought.
At the core of the offering is Jentic's expanding API catalogue, which the company describes as a "Hugging Face for APIs and workflows." Agents actively curate and expand the catalogue, giving developers a machine-readable map of the tools their agents can use. While designed for OpenClaw, Jentic Mini also works with other general-purpose agents including NemoClaw.
Jentic is already available as a verified connector in Anthropic's Claude, providing users with secure access to connected tools and APIs directly through the assistant.
The next era of software will not be built for humans. It will be built for agents, by agents. Jentic Mini gives developers a free, open-source foundation for that shift.
By making the tool self-hosted and open-source, Jentic is lowering the barrier for developers who want to move AI agents from demo environments into production without compromising on security controls.
