The agent uses `get_instance_timeline` and reports that it's currently waiting on the Finance Director. ### Bulk data updates An admin needs to update 10 records. They ask the agent to find the IDs with `list_data_ids` and then use `update_record` on each to push new pricing data. ### Schema auditing An IT pro needs to know the field IDs for a form. They use `get_form_schema` to get the full layout instantly without logging into the DingTalk admin console. ### Quick record creation A manager wants to log a new inventory item. They tell their agent to use `create_record` to put the data into the correct form based on a text description. ## Benefits - Stop clicking through DingTalk menus to find records.
