The official feature inventory covers tracking, clustering, scheduling, data and agency tools, not agents: https://nozzle.io/features/
Scalenut
AI agents are central to the current platform and VIP Service explicitly includes seven agents, but public evidence does not establish an open agent API or arbitrary tool ecosystem.
