## Description

Managing damaged inventory usually means digging through spreadsheets and chasing down missing photos. This MCP changes that by giving your AI agent direct access to your damage records. You can use it to get a quick status update on a specific damaged item or verify if the evidence provided actually meets your policy standards. If the documentation is incomplete, your agent can trigger a workflow to fix the gap. Once everything is verified, you don't have to manually file paperwork. Your agent can calculate the exact replacement value and submit the formal request based on your specific purchase history and policy rules. It moves the process from simple logging to active resolution.
