## Description

You can stop manually cross-referencing borrower tiers and inventory status. This MCP connects your AI client directly to your core decision logic, turning an agent into a specialized loan processor. When a request comes in, your agent uses this tool to check if a borrower is in good standing and if the requested items are actually available for the specified dates. It doesn't just check availability; it enforces your specific organizational policies, including quantity limits and duration constraints based on borrower tiers. You can delegate the entire evaluation process to your agent, which will then decide whether to approve, decline, or hold a request based on the data it pulls. It's a way to ensure every loan request follows your rules without you having to watch every single transaction.
