Like Karan said, you can filter the hosts that inventory will return by
setting your API key.

There's two things I discussed with the CI team that I would like to do
eventually:
1) See the "age" of the machines (time since deploy)
2) Being able to set the comment field when requesting nodes instead of it
being automatically set to the ssid. This would allow us to set, for
example, the job name and build number as comment. This effectively
requires adding a ssid field because the only place you can find it is in
the comment field.

1 and 2 would help you achieve what you're looking for :)
