You avoid manual dashboard switching by handling user lifecycle tasks right where you ask questions.

Pull granular payroll data into Claude Desktop

Run `get_employment` to extract history directly into your context window. Use `list_payouts` to see specific pay period details, giving your agent the exact numbers needed for verification. Having this data locally means you stop copy-pasting from external tabs. The agent reads the raw response and summarizes the income breakdown for you instantly.

Call `list_identities` to pull verified personal information for any user you manage. You can then use `list_users` to cross-reference these identities against your full database.
