CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the NewsCatcher integration exposes
The NewsCatcher Agent App exposes 4 provider-backed actions for data & analytics work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent retrieve recent newscatcher headlines with source and publication filters, retrieve the active newscatcher subscription plan and remaining api allowance, and list news sources indexed by newscatcher using language and country filters. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses API key. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected NewsCatcher account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Latest Headlines
Retrieve recent NewsCatcher headlines with source and publication filters. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_latest_headlinesVerify with Get Subscription
Retrieve the active NewsCatcher subscription plan and remaining API allowance. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
get_subscriptionSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate NewsCatcher with explicit limits
- Authorize NewsCatcher with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- The current action names appear read-oriented, but returned NewsCatcher data may still be sensitive and should be minimized before it enters model context.
- Do not infer permission from catalog visibility. Workspace policy, connection identity, and upstream authorization still govern execution.
- No provider scope string is declared on the sampled actions. Verify the connected account's actual permissions in NewsCatcher rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the NewsCatcher task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
NewsCatcher News API key sent with the x-api-token header. Request trial access or contact NewsCatcher from https://www.newscatcherapi.com/news-api.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.

Provider reference
Action names, input fields, authentication types, and counts on this page are generated from the Working Machines provider catalog. Provider behavior, quotas, object semantics, account eligibility, and regional availability remain governed by NewsCatcher.
