Perplexity

Check door status and access logs

Stop guessing if the office is secure. Use `get_door_status` to see if a specific entrance is locked or open in real-time. Run `list_access_events` when you need to audit who walked through the front door recently. This gives you a clear log of activity without leaving your chat window.

Manage users and credentials

Pull up specific records using `get_user` to see exactly who has access to your facilities. It saves you from digging through admin portals. You can also run `list_credentials` to see which cards or passes are currently active. Keep your security list updated by checking these entries against your current employee roster.

Control entry points remotely

Trigger the `unlock_door` tool when someone needs entry and you are away from your desk. It handles the request instantly. Use `list_doors` to see every entry point connected to your account. You get a full map of your site's physical layout for better monitoring.
