Can I unlock a door remotely using the agent?

Yes! Use the `unlock_door` tool with the Access Point ID. Your agent will trigger a momentary unlock command in Brivo, allowing entry instantly.

How do I check if a door is currently open or closed?

Simply ask the agent to `get_door_status` and provide the Access Point ID. It will retrieve the live state of the door from the Brivo cloud.

Does the integration allow adding a new user to the building?

The current toolset focuses on control and monitoring (Read-Only/Unlock) for operational efficiency. Provisioning new users or changing core permissions should be managed via the Brivo administrator portal.
