Can I process a refund through the agent?

Yes! Use the `refund_chargedesk_payment` tool with the charge ID. You can also specify an optional amount for a partial refund. The agent will trigger the refund on the original gateway.

How do I see all payments from a specific customer?

Use the `get_customer_details` tool with the unique customer ID. Your agent will fetch the profile, which includes a list of all successful and failed charges.

Where do I find my ChargeDesk Secret Key?

Log in to your ChargeDesk account and go to **Account Settings -> API**. You can view and copy your Secret Key from there.
