Can I check the status of a specific timecard using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_timecard` tool with the Timecard ID. Your agent will fetch the latest status, including hours worked and approval state.

How do I list all the active contractors in Bilflo?

Simply ask the agent to `list_contractors`. It will retrieve the directory of all contingent workers registered in your Bilflo account.

Does the integration allow me to approve timecards directly?

Currently, the toolset is focused on querying and auditing (listing timecards, checking statuses). Approving timecards for payroll must be performed within the Bilflo platform for compliance.
