Can I see the status of a specific legal matter?

Yes! Use the `get_matter_legal_details` tool with the matter ID. The agent will return the current status (Open, Closed, etc.), the client name, and the responsible attorney.

How do I check if a bill has been paid?

Use the `list_clio_bills` tool. Your agent will fetch the list of generated bills, which includes their amounts and payment statuses, directly from Clio.

Where do I find my Clio Access Token?

Clio uses OAuth 2.0. You can generate an access token through the Clio developer portal or by creating a private application in your Clio account settings.
