Benzinga connects to a Nagent workspace with an API key. Once it is connected, agents can call 10 Benzinga actions, such as "Get Calendar Earnings Stream", "Get Conference Calls V2.1" and "Get Consensus Ratings". Nothing is enabled on connect: each action is allowed one at a time, and an action with side effects runs or waits for a person according to the agent's level.
Every operation an agent can call against Benzinga, with input parameters and output schema.
