Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Docker Hub integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Docker Hub calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Docker Hub data, across all 24 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Docker Hub access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Docker Hub, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Docker Hub is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Docker Hub.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Docker Hub action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven connects to Docker Hub using a personal access token which you generate in your account settings. When you provide this token, we store it using AES 256 encryption at rest. The agent uses this token to sign requests to the Docker Hub API on your behalf. We never share this token with other users or external services. You can rotate your token at any time in the Docker Hub dashboard, which will immediately stop Ceven from making calls until you update the token in our platform. This ensures you maintain full control over the access level granted to the AI agent.
Yes. You can build a workflow that lists all tags for a specific repository and compares them against a date or versioning rule. For example, you can tell the agent to keep only the ten most recent tags and delete everything else. The agent will pull the tag list, sort them by creation date, and then call the delete tag action for each image that falls outside your retention window. This prevents your registry from becoming cluttered with thousands of temporary build tags from your CI pipeline.
Ceven provides full access to organization and team management tools. You can use the agent to invite new members, create new teams for specific project groups, and move users between teams as your company grows. This is especially useful for companies with high developer turnover or frequent project rotations. Instead of manually clicking through the Docker Hub UI, you can simply tell the agent to sync your Docker Hub teams with a source of truth like Okta or Active Directory via a connected workflow.
Yes. Docker Hub enforces strict rate limits on their API, especially for unauthenticated or free tier accounts. For authenticated requests, the limits are higher but still exist. Ceven implements an intelligent queuing system and exponential backoff to handle 429 Too Many Requests responses. If your workflow involves scanning thousands of repositories or tags, the agent will pause and resume automatically to avoid getting your IP blocked. We recommend using a Pro or Team account for high volume automation to ensure the highest possible rate limits.
Ceven can manage the webhooks that make this possible. While Docker Hub sends the webhook, Ceven can be the endpoint that receives it. When a push event occurs, the webhook hits a Ceven listener, which then triggers a specific workflow. This workflow can notify your team in Slack, update a Jira ticket, or call an API on your Kubernetes cluster to pull the new image. You can use the agent to create and update these webhooks across dozens of repositories without manual setup.
Yes. If your Docker Hub plan allows for private repositories, Ceven can create them on demand. This is useful for dynamic project creation where every new client or project needs its own isolated image storage. The agent can create the repository and immediately set up the correct team permissions so that only the assigned developers have access. This ensures that sensitive images are never accidentally made public during the initial setup phase of a new project.
If the agent attempts an action that your token does not have permission for, such as deleting a repository in an organization where you are only a member and not an owner, Docker Hub returns a 403 Forbidden error. Ceven captures this error and reports it back to you in plain language. The agent will explain that the action failed due to insufficient permissions and will suggest checking your role within that specific Docker Hub organization. It will not repeatedly attempt the action if it receives a permission denial.
Ceven can list repositories and pull details for any public image available on the hub. You can build a workflow that searches for specific official images and verifies their tags before suggesting them for use in a Dockerfile. While the agent can search and read public data, any write actions like creating tags or deleting images still require the appropriate authenticated permissions for the namespace in question. This allows you to build tools that analyze public images while safely managing your private ones.
