Can I see the agenda for my next board meeting?

Yes! Use the `get_meeting` tool with the Meeting ID. Your agent will fetch the latest details, including the agenda and scheduled time, directly from BoardEffect.

How do I list all the members of a specific committee?

Simply ask the agent to `list_members`. You can then inspect individual member profiles or use the `list_workrooms` tool to see which members are assigned to specific committee spaces.

Does the integration allow me to archive a project?

Currently, the toolset focuses on querying and monitoring (Read-Only). You can list and inspect meetings, members, and archives, but archiving active projects or deleting data must be done through the BoardEffect platform for security and compliance.
