For Agents
Provision Azure Cognitive Services accounts, list and regenerate their access keys, and check SKU and domain availability across regions.
Use for: I need to provision a new Azure Cognitive Services account for a vision workload, Regenerate the primary key for a Cognitive Services account that may have leaked, List all Cognitive Services accounts in a resource group, Check whether the account name 'agent-vision-prod' is available in westeurope
Not supported: Does not call Vision, Speech, Language, or Decision data-plane endpoints, run inference, or manage billing — use for provisioning and key management of Cognitive Services accounts only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for CognitiveServicesManagementClient, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Cognitive Services Management Client is the Azure Resource Manager API for provisioning and administering Cognitive Services accounts under a subscription. It exposes 14 endpoints for creating accounts, regenerating subscription keys, listing available SKUs by location, checking domain name availability, and enumerating supported account kinds. Use it to spin up Vision, Language, Speech, or Decision resource accounts and rotate their keys without touching the Azure Portal.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the CognitiveServicesManagementClient to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the CognitiveServicesManagementClient, 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 CognitiveServicesManagementClient API.
Create and update Cognitive Services accounts under a resource group with a chosen SKU and kind
List the access keys for a Cognitive Services account and regenerate Key1 or Key2 on demand
Check whether a desired account name is available in a region before provisioning
Enumerate the SKUs and kinds available for a given location and account type
Retrieve subscription-wide usage of Cognitive Services account quotas
Delete a Cognitive Services account and free its assigned name and resources
Use Cases
Patterns agents use CognitiveServicesManagementClient API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Provision Cognitive Services for a new agent project
Spin up a Cognitive Services account on demand when an agent project needs vision, speech, or language capabilities. The Management Client creates the account, returns the endpoint and access keys, and exposes the chosen SKU so the consuming workload can call the data-plane API straight away. This avoids manual Azure Portal clicks and keeps account creation reproducible across environments.
Create a Cognitive Services account named 'agent-vision-prod' of kind ComputerVision with SKU S1 in resource group ai-rg, then return the endpoint and Key1.
Rotate Cognitive Services subscription keys
When a Cognitive Services key is suspected of being exposed, an operator needs to rotate it without downtime. The Management Client lists the two keys for an account and regenerates either Key1 or Key2 individually so traffic can be cut over to the surviving key first. This pattern supports zero-downtime rotation aligned with Azure's two-key model.
List the access keys for account 'agent-vision-prod' in resource group ai-rg, regenerate Key2, and return the new Key2 value.
Pre-flight checks before deployment
Before an infrastructure-as-code deployment runs, an agent can verify that the desired account name is free in the target region and that the SKU it plans to request is offered there. The Management Client exposes domain availability and SKU availability checks so the deployment can fail fast with a clear message instead of a partial rollout.
Check whether the SKU 'S2' for kind 'TextAnalytics' is available in westeurope, and whether the name 'agent-text-prod' is available globally.
Agent-driven account inventory and cleanup
An AI agent integrated through Jentic can walk a subscription and resource group, list all Cognitive Services accounts, identify those that are unused or out of date, and delete them. Discovery happens through Jentic's intent search so the agent does not need to memorise Azure Resource Manager paths, and credential isolation keeps the OAuth token scoped to the operation.
List all Cognitive Services accounts in subscription 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000, filter to those tagged env=dev with no usage in 30 days, and delete each one.

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Azure AD OAuth tokens for the user_impersonation scope are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw refresh tokens never enter the agent's context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (for example 'provision a cognitive services account' or 'rotate a cognitive services key') and Jentic returns the matching ARM operation with its full input schema, so the agent does not have to navigate Microsoft.CognitiveServices ARM paths by hand.
Time to first call
Direct ARM integration: 1-3 days for AAD app registration, token exchange, and request signing. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs
Specific to using CognitiveServicesManagementClient API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for CognitiveServicesManagementClient?
Microsoft Azure does not publish a single consolidated OpenAPI specification for the Cognitive Services Management Client. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call CognitiveServicesManagementClient via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the CognitiveServicesManagementClient use?
It uses Azure Active Directory OAuth 2.0 with the implicit flow against https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize and the user_impersonation scope. Through Jentic, the AAD token is held in the encrypted vault and the agent receives a scoped access token instead of the raw bearer credential.
Can I create a Cognitive Services account with the CognitiveServicesManagementClient?
Yes. Issue PUT /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/{accountName} with the desired SKU, kind (for example ComputerVision or TextAnalytics), and location. The response contains the endpoint and provisioning state for the new account.
What are the rate limits for the CognitiveServicesManagementClient?
Azure Resource Manager applies subscription-level read and write throttling — typically 12,000 reads and 1,200 writes per hour per subscription. The CognitiveServicesManagementClient inherits these limits; the spec does not declare separate rate-limit headers.
How do I rotate a Cognitive Services key through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'regenerate cognitive services key', load the schema for POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/{accountName}/regenerateKey, and execute it with keyName set to Key1 or Key2. Run pip install jentic to get the SDK.
Is the CognitiveServicesManagementClient free?
Calling the management API itself is free, but each Cognitive Services account you provision is billed against its chosen SKU (F0 free tier, S0/S1/S2 paid tiers) and on usage of the underlying data-plane API.
