# DigitalOcean API for AI Agents

Connect the DigitalOcean API to your AI agent through Swytchcode. Call the DigitalOcean API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

## What can you build with the DigitalOcean API?

1. Call DigitalOcean directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
2. Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the DigitalOcean API surface.
3. Chain DigitalOcean with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
4. Give an agent safe read/write access to DigitalOcean in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

## How to connect the DigitalOcean API to an AI agent

Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every DigitalOcean call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.

1. **Install the CLI**  
   Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.

2. **Pull the manifest**  
   Run "swytchcode get digitalocean" to pull the DigitalOcean API manifest, including its schema and available actions.

3. **Authenticate once**  
   Provide your DigitalOcean API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.

4. **Call it from your agent**  
   Run "swytchcode exec digitalocean.<action> --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

```bash
swytchcode get digitalocean
swytchcode exec digitalocean.<action> --key value
```
