# Donor Restriction Resolution Brief AI Agent Connect

> Donor Restriction Resolution Brief MCP acts as a decision engine for institutional gift management. It lets your AI client check if proposed spending or activities align with specific donor restrictions and institutional rules. Your agent can verify fund allocations, handle complex rule conflicts, and identify the right human contact for high-priority escalations.

## Description

Managing institutional gifts requires strict adherence to donor intent. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a compliance officer for your gift management workflows. Instead of manually cross-referencing donor agreements against proposed expenditures, you can let your agent handle the heavy lifting. 

You use this MCP to confirm if a specific fund can cover a new research expense or if a proposed public display violates a manuscript restriction. When rules conflict, the MCP identifies if existing institutional exceptions apply or if the issue needs to be moved up the chain of command. It removes the guesswork from fund allocation and ensures your institution stays in alignment with donor wishes. Your agent handles the verification, and you handle the final decisions based on the data provided.

## Tools

### check_restriction_compliance
This tool checks if a requested activity is allowed under specific donor mandates. It also identifies if any available exceptions can be applied to the request.

### evaluate_fund_allocation
This tool verifies whether a specific fund is authorized for a proposed expenditure. It confirms if the spending category matches the fund's purpose.

### get_escalation_protocol
This tool identifies the necessary human intervention steps for high-priority issues. It tells your agent exactly who to contact when a request is flagged for escalation.

### resolve_exception_conflict
This tool checks for known exception rules when an activity conflicts with a restriction. It helps determine if a conflict can be legally or institutionally bypassed.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if we can use the Maritime History Fund for a new research expedition costing $5,000.
```

**Response:** 
```
The request is permitted. The Maritime History Fund allows expenditures under the 'research' category and has sufficient balance.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is the proposed public display of the 18th-century manuscript allowed under restriction R-902?
```

**Response:** 
```
The activity is prohibited. Restriction R-902 explicitly mandates that this specific manuscript must not be used for public display.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the protocol for a high-severity conflict regarding a hard mandate?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required contact role is the Executive Director. You must prepare the full donor agreement and the impact assessment report for review.
```
