CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the Perigon integration exposes
The Perigon Agent App exposes 12 provider-backed actions for ai and data work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent get one perigon journalist profile by journalist id, generate an ai summary over perigon news articles matching the supplied filters, and search perigon news articles with keyword, date, entity, source, and category 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 Perigon account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Journalist
Get one Perigon journalist profile by journalist ID. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_journalistVerify with Search Articles
Search Perigon news articles with keyword, date, entity, source, and category filters. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
search_articlesSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate Perigon with explicit limits
- Authorize Perigon with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- The current action names appear read-oriented, but returned Perigon 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 Perigon rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the Perigon task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
Perigon API key sent with the x-api-key request header. Create an account and manage API keys from the developer section at https://www.perigon.io/dev.
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.
