Can my AI agent issue a DIAN-compliant electronic invoice for Colombia?

Yes! Use the `create_invoice` tool with the client ID, line items, and dates. Alegra automatically handles DIAN electronic validation and stamping for Colombian tax compliance. The invoice number sequence is managed by Alegra's configured resolution.

How do I look up a client's outstanding balance and contact details?

Use the `get_contact` tool with the client's Alegra ID. You'll receive their complete profile including legal name, NIT or CC number, fiscal regime, address, phone, email, and any outstanding receivable balance.

Can I manage inventory across multiple warehouses through my AI agent?

Yes. Use `list_warehouses` to see all your configured locations, then use `list_items` to browse your catalog with stock levels per warehouse. You can also create new items with `create_item` specifying their type (product or service) and pricing.
