Northflank connects to a Nagent workspace with an API key. Once it is connected, agents can call 20 Northflank actions, such as "Create or Update Project", "Create or Update Secret" and "Create Secret". 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 Northflank, with input parameters and output schema.
