Yes, you can pull invoice lists using the provided tools. Just ask your agent to show you recent billing activity for any specific client.

Your agent only accesses the specific billing and client records you request. We maintain strict isolation so your private business information stays out of the model's training set.

The server runs as a local subprocess for maximum stability. It connects directly to your account so you aren't waiting on third-party middleware.

We treat your client contact lists and financial records as sensitive data. The connection uses your personal API token to pull info, and nothing is stored by the server itself.
