## Use Cases

### Auditing permissions
An admin needs to know if the marketing team can see the Deals module. They ask the agent to list profiles and check permissions for that group.

### Onboarding new staff
A manager wants to see which users are currently active and what roles they have. The agent pulls the list using zoho_list_users.

### Layout verification
A rep says a field is missing from their view. The admin asks the agent to check the layout structure for that specific module to see if it's hidden.

### Territory mapping
A sales lead asks for a list of all territories and who is assigned to manage them. The agent pulls the data from zoho_list_territories.
