Can my agent list all active projects in Forecast?

Yes. Use the 'list_projects' tool. The agent will retrieve the global array of all managed projects mapped inside your Forecast account, including their names and unique IDs.

How do I check a specific team member's availability via chat?

Use the 'list_people' tool. Your agent will fetch the physical identity definitions and availability constraints of global members, allowing you to monitor team utilization and workload natively.

Can I see the upcoming milestones for a project through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_milestones' tool with the specific Project ID. The agent will identify timebox markers bounding specific sprint or deliverable targets for that project natively.
