If you're tired of jumping between different tabs to check if a factory batch passed inspection or if a lab test hit the required standards, this connector changes that. You can ask your agent to pull up specific audit reports or check the status of a pending lab test while you're in the middle of a planning meeting. Instead of digging through dashboards, you just get the answers you need in plain English. It connects your Factored Quality account to your existing workflow, making it a lot easier to keep an eye on manufacturing standards across multiple suppliers. You can also handle the administrative side, like creating new service bookings, right from your primary AI client. It's about getting a clear picture of your supply chain's health without the manual data hunting. By hosting this on Vinkius, you get a reliable way to keep your quality data accessible whenever you need to make a call on production. You can query supplier performance history or list all current inspections to see what's moving through your pipeline. It removes the friction of manual data entry and gives you a direct line to the facts you need to keep your production moving. You no longer have to worry about missing a failed lab test or an overdue audit because the data is always ready for your questions. ## Tools ### create_booking Schedule a new quality control service for a specific batch or location. ### get_audit Pull the full details and compliance data for a specific factory audit. ### get_booking See the specific details and status of a previously made QC service booking. ### get_inspection Fetch the results and status for a single quality control inspection. ### get_lab_test Retrieve specific results and status for a product lab test. ### get_me Fetch the profile information for the current API user. ### list_audits See a full list of all factory audits in your account. ### list_inspections Get a list of all quality control inspections you've tracked. ### get_supplier Look up details and performance history for a specific supplier. ### list_bookings View all current and past quality control service bookings. ### list_lab_tests See all lab tests currently in the system. ### list_suppliers Pull a complete list of all suppliers in your network. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all recent quality control inspections. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your recent inspections.
