## Description

This Connector lets you run your restoration business through a natural conversation with your AI agent. Instead of jumping between different tabs to check project statuses or digging through spreadsheets for gross margins, you just ask your agent for the numbers. It handles the heavy lifting of pulling project details, tracking equipment like dehumidifiers, and managing your client database. You can see exactly where a job stands, who's assigned to it, and how much revenue is coming in. By connecting through the Vinkius catalog, you turn your AI into a project coordinator that knows your inventory, your team's progress, and your bottom line. It's about getting answers in seconds rather than hunting for them in a complex field service app.

An operations lead needs to know if there are any dehumidifiers left in the warehouse. The agent uses list_inventory_equipment to check the stock.

### Starting a new job quickly
A contractor finishes a site walk and wants to log the job. They tell their agent to start a new project, which triggers create_new_restoration_project.
